How long does it take to build a driveway gate?

• <div><p>Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.</p></div>

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>

Are security doors difficult to install?

• <div><p>Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-security-door.htm">installing a security door</a>.</p><p>However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.</p></div>

By contrast, Trex fencing ranges in price from <b>$22 to $38 per linear foot,</b> so you may pay a lot or a little depending on just how much space you need to enclose in your yard. </p></div>

Woke up this morning to no heat. Called Joey at 6:30 and he said he and crew would be right over. When he got here, he found my ignitor had frozen. They fixed it by 11:00 and I was finally warm. You can't get better service than that.
