Do gate hinges wear out?

• <div><p>While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.</p></div>

When is replacing a wrought iron gate a better option than covering it for privacy purposes?

• <div><p>Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical. Professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-fence.htm">fence or gate repair costs</a> average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.</p></div>

Q: Can I attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate?

• <div><p>Whether you can attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate depends on the gate's construction. Some vinyl gates are sturdy enough to allow wood or vinyl boards to be attached. Many, however, have hollow frames that may not hold screws or heavy extensions securely. For these, consider alternative extension options such as a rubber flap or chicken wire.</p></div>

Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose a driveway gate?

• <div><p>When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/automatic-front-gate-options.htm">automatic gate</a> or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home&rsquo;s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.</p></div>
