"Aspen Financing did an excellent job. From the time I called for a quote until install it was an easy fix. When I called Brett, he came the next day to look at the job and give us a quote. Due to COVID and slow manufacturing of the fence/gate we had to wait for 3 1/2 months for install. This was no fault of Aspen Fencing. Vera kept us updated and was a delight to deal with. Always answered the phone, was courteous and professional. The installers were professional, did a great job and cleaned up the area very nicely. We would highly recommend this company."

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.

"I could not ask for better. Mr Simmons and his crew are true professional. His estimates was $410 below my neighbors (same size yard and fence). My neighbor and I both agree Global Fence did a much better and faster Job. Was happy I found them. If you're looking to save time and money definitely give them a try."

"I Previously wrote a review about Affordable Handyman and painting services that was unacceptable. I've recently been in touch with them and found out that things weren't as they seemed. I am man enough to admit that I was wrong and apologize for the earlier review. The quote I was given was very reasonable and actually the best I had received and can't wait to see how the work goes!"

"It went very well. I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin Simmons. We followed every stage of the complex, work requirements and Kevin proved to be informative and the ultimate professional. He arrived on time, cleaned up the area of all debris upon completion and his rates were the most competitive of all estimates. He provided us with all the information  in regard to the materials needed, schedule and construction requirements. We were very pleased with the outcome and will use  Kevin in our future projects.
His work was so good that one could not tell where the new shingles were added on the roof in relationship to the older shingle construction."

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.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders.
