What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a wooden gate post be?

• <div><p>Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.</p></div>

Q: How long does gate installation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.</p></div>

Q: Do gate installations include warranties?

• <div><p>Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.</p></div>

Derek’s crew installed a low voltage electric gate across our driveway with code pads. They did a great job, clean and tidy, and just what we wanted. We are very pleased.

Cisco is polite, timely and fairly priced. Before he came to my home he researched my automatic gate, so he could better troubleshoot when he arrived, I really appreciated that. He also did not mind me watching and trying to help. When possible I like to learn, so I can do it next time. He also...
