Gates Fencing

A gate is built to match whichever fence style it sits in — wood, aluminum or chain link — and hung so it swings, latches and holds up the way the rest of the fence line does.

What it's built from

Framed and braced the same way the adjoining fence panel is, in the same material, so a gate doesn't become the first thing on the fence line that sags or fails.

The trade-offs

A gate is a moving, load-bearing part in a fence that is otherwise fixed — hardware (hinges, latch) is what wears first on any gate, in any material, and matters more on a gate than anywhere else on the fence line.
