When you decide to have a new fence installed at your home, one thing that you will have to consider is your need for gates. When hiring a gate installation company there are many different factors to consider.
What is a gate?
Fence that swings, slides, or rolls
A gate is a moveable section of fence that swings, slides, or rolls to create an opening in the fence to allow for entry and exit. Gates can be installed with hinges to allow for the gate door to swing open inward or outward or can be attached to a track to allow for sliding. The different options for gate designs include decorative gates, driveway gates, security gates, and privacy gates. There are countless different options for gates and knowing what type of fence material you plan to use is a great starting point.
Driveway Gate Installation Company
Decorative Estate Gates and Arch Top Gate Designs
Aluminum or wrought iron estate gates are among the most common types of gates used for driveway entrances. With a continuous arch top or a swooping estate top style, it is easy to add curb appeal to the front of your home with a professional gate installation. You can get these gates made big enough to span the width of your driveway with either a single gate or double door gate.
Sliding Gate Installation Company
A sliding gate is mounted parallel to the inside of the fence and slides horizontally back and forth across the gate opening. The slide gate uses rollers or wheels on the bottom of the gate to support it. These rollers typically ride along a metal track, or v-track, that has been installed along the ground across the gate opening. V-tracks require a paved flat surface to function and often times can be blocked by debris such as rocks, branches, or snow causing problems with the gate functionality. Alternatively it is recommended to use a pneumatic wheel to guide the gate across uneven terrain.
V-Track Gate Installation Company
At Big Jerry’s Fencing, we specialize in durable and reliable V-track gate installations designed to enhance both security and convenience for residential and commercial properties. Our expertly installed V-track sliding gates are ideal for areas where space is limited or a traditional swing gate isn’t practical. Built for smooth operation and long-lasting performance, each gate is customized to fit your layout and aesthetic preferences. With our commitment to quality craftsmanship and exceptional service, you can trust Big Jerry’s Fencing to deliver a seamless V-track gate solution that stands the test of time.
Pneumatic Wheel Gate Installation Company
Big Jerry’s Fencing offers professional pneumatic wheel gate installations that provide a practical and efficient solution for uneven or sloped terrain. Designed with heavy-duty pneumatic wheels, these gates roll smoothly over gravel, grass, or irregular surfaces, making them ideal for driveways and wide entryways where a standard gate might struggle. Our team ensures each installation is built for stability, durability, and ease of use, with materials and finishes that complement your property. Whether for residential or commercial applications, Big Jerry’s delivers a smart, functional gate system that holds up to daily use and challenging conditions.
Cantilever Gate Installation Company
It is important to note that cantilever gates do not have a wheel that guides the bottom of the gate along the ground, therefor cantilever gates require a counterbalance to support the weight of the gate. The counterbalance should be approximately ½ the length of the gate opening. This means that you need even more clearance when going with a cantilever gate installation.
Wood Gate Installation Company
Wood fences are likely still the most common fence materials used for fence construction in residential areas. Due to the weight of wood, wooden privacy gates can tend to lean or sag over time. It is important to choose the proper gate style and materials to use for your application. If you opt to have a wooden swing gate installed it is highly recommended that you consider additional support to help prevent issues with your gate over time. Some things you can do to help increase the sturdiness of your swing gate are listed below.
Upgrade your gate posts
- Typically, 4×4 posts are used during the construction of your wood fence. Upgrading your gate posts to a 4×6, or even better a 6×6, will help support the weight of the wooden gate. As an experienced gate installation company, Big Jerry’s Fencing defaults to building our gates with 6×6 hinge side gate posts. Even when opting for a gate made of a different material such as aluminum, vinyl, or chain link your gate post should still be more heavy duty that the rest of the fence posts.
Use the right gate hinges
There are countless gate hinges available for purchase, so how do you know what is designed to last? We recommend using heavy duty strapping hinges when possible. The long leaves on a strapping hinge provide extra stability in heavy-duty applications.
Upgrade to a metal gate frame
When properly constructed, a wood gate with a will be able to support the weight of most gates. However, having your gate installation company upgrade the framing of the gate to a welded steel frame will create additional support. Going with a metal gate frame will also help combat common gate problems related to warping and twisting lumber. This is especially helpful when a gate installation company is building a gate door that is larger than the standard 4ft width.
Vinyl Gate Installation Company
Vinyl gates are a great choice for homeowners looking for a gate that offers durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Vinyl gates installations are available in a variety of styles and colors allowing residents to match their home’s design. Vinyl gates are a excellent alternative to wood gate installations because of their long lifespan due to their durability against pests and rot. In addition to the durability benefits, vinyl gates are a lightweight option to provide privacy to your yard ensuring you will enjoy the benefits of your professionally installed gate for years to come.
Vinyl gate installations are supported with either an internally welded metal frame or with an antisag brace added to the interior side of the gate. This keeps helps the gate remain square, while keeping the gate components like the rails and slats in place, and ultimately prevents sagging and gate problems over time.
Aluminum Gate Installation Company
Aluminum gate installation is a great option to add some design elements to your property. Beautiful and relatively light weight, aluminum gates can be used for just about every application and look good when installed with other styles of fences, such as wood privacy fences and vinyl privacy fences. Whether you are going for aesthetics or security, aluminum gates come in many grades, thicknesses, finishes, and styles to fit every taste or budget.
Arch top designs are available in single door walk gates as well. Opting for an arch top walk gate is a great way to make your fence stand out from the rest. If you have a paved walkway or strategically placed gardening, an arch top walk gate is a perfect way to complement your space.
Aluminum gate posts have thicker walls of metal to create a more substantial gate post that will keep the hinges intact through constant use.
