How do you stop a gate from slamming in the wind?

• <div><p>Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-automatic-gate-opener-installation.htm">automatic gate openers</a>. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.</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>

Q: What is the most secure door for a garage?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.</p></div>

Q: Should I get an electric gate?

• <div><p>For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.</p></div>

Poured one section of driveway with concrete that was too wet, he should have sent it back. It has started to crack less than 6 months later. During prep work he cut a section of my sewer pipe and tried to hide it. Seriously. I found out the next day when my basement flooded after taking a...
