Gate & Automatic Gate Installation in Middle Tennessee

Every gate opening gets posts sized for the leaf weight, set deeper than line posts and set in concrete. Wood gates get diagonal bracing, vinyl and aluminum gates get reinforced frames, and hardware is chosen for the actual load rather than what came in the panel kit.

We also think about where the gate should be. Mower access, trash cans, trailer clearance and the path from the driveway to the back yard all influence placement, and it is much cheaper to get that right during layout.

An automatic entry gate is a construction project as much as a fence project. It needs a power source, a conduit path, an operator matched to the gate weight and swing arc, safety devices, and an entry method such as a keypad, remote or app control.

Because we plan it before the driveway and landscaping are finished, the trenching, gate post footings and operator pad go in without tearing up work that is already done.

A gate should read as part of the run, with the same picket profile, height and top line. On board on board and horizontal fences we carry the pattern across the gate so the opening is barely visible when it is closed.

Gate placement is the decision homeowners most often want to change after the fact, and it is the one that is hardest to change. Moving a gate means pulling and resetting posts, and on a concreted post that is real work.

Think about how the yard is actually used. A mower needs a wider opening than a person does. Trash cans have a route. Trailers, mulch deliveries and pool equipment all need a way in. A single four foot gate on the wrong side of the house turns every yard task into a longer one.
