"Shepard fencing installed about two acres of board fencing around our new home. They thought ahead and made special â cut-outsâ on the gates for ease of opening, their work is beautiful- all boards lined up, their suggestions for black hardware were spot on and they arrived when they said they would and finished as planned. I even made two significant changes: they told me how much it would cost and did the changes with no issues. Weâ ll be using them again for livestock fencing. We would definitely recommend them!"

My names Cayden Shadoan, I’m 23 years old. I have a beautiful wife and daughter. I have a full time job as a pipe welder in Sumter South Carolina. I’m on here just looking to pick up a couple extra jobs here and there in hopes of starting my own business one day to be able to stay home with my family more. I can do pretty much anything that needs done in or around your house. Specializing in building fences or repairing fences, any kind of piping jobs, or any welding. Thank you for considering me to help you get what you need done. Hope to see you soon.

"Steven and his associates were nice enough and the fence looks good; however, they did not leave my property as they found it. They left the sod covered in red clay and when it rains or I run the irrigation system in that area of my yard, it is a muddy mess and when it dries, it gets almost as hard as cement. I thought I could clean it myself and I?m working on it, but it has been more difficult than I thought. Also, Steven said he would install a handle on the gate when he fenced my neighbor?s yard but he has not done it as yet. So, I will just do that myself too."

"He did an excellent job painting the inside and out side my house, installed a security front storm door and repaired my roof. I would recommend Kevin Wheeler highly to do any of your home repairs. He is just not only a handy man, but a handy man who gets the job done in an adequate time frame and to his customer satisfaction."

Driveway Gates FAQs, answered by experts

You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you’re hiring a local fencing contractor, they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

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.

Yes, most services include safety checks and anchoring to ensure stability. Confirm with your provider.
