"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 questions, answered by experts

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

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.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

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.

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.
