Custom Gate Installation and Fabrication

Think about it: the gate is the only part of your fence that actually does something. It moves, it latches, it locks, and it’s usually the part of the fence you interact with every single day. So why do so many fences have saggy, dragging gates that you have to lift up just to get the latch to click?

At the Fence Squad, we treat gates like the “main event.” Whether it’s a simple garden gate for your backyard or a massive estate entrance, we build them to be smooth, secure, and—most importantly—sag-free.

Gate-post and hardware planning

The secret to a gate that stays straight isn’t actually in the gate itself—it’s in the posts. Most guys set gate posts just like they set regular fence posts. But a gate puts a lot of weight and leverage on a single point every time it swings.

We use reinforced, heavy-duty posts for every gate we install. We set them deeper and use more concrete to make sure they won’t lean over time. We also use high-quality hardware—heavy-duty hinges and latches that are built to take a beating and keep on swinging. When we finish a gate, it should close with a satisfying “clink” every time, with zero effort on your part.

Custom Built for Your Life

Since we build most of our fences (especially wood) “stick-by-stick,” we can make your gates any size you need.

Got a riding mower that needs a little extra clearance? We can do a 5-foot or 6-foot single gate. Need to get a truck into the backyard? We’ll install a double-drive gate that gives you all the room you need. We can also do custom “arch-top” or “scalloped” designs to add a bit of flair to your entrance. If you can dream up a design, we can probably fabricate it.

Safety First: Pool and Pet Gates

If you have a pool, your gates aren’t just a convenience—they’re a critical safety feature. We use specialized self-closing hinges and magnetic “top-pull” latches that are designed to keep kids out of the pool area. These latches are placed high enough that a toddler can’t reach them, and the hinges make sure the gate never gets left ajar.

For pet owners, we can do “puppy pickets” (extra pickets at the bottom) or solid panels to make sure even the smallest dogs stay exactly where they belong. We know your pets are family, and we build our gates to keep them safe.

Hardcore Hardware

We don’t use the cheap, flimsy hardware you find at the big-box stores. We use professional-grade, stainless steel or powder-coated components. We’re talking about hinges that can be adjusted if your ground shifts slightly, and latches that can be locked from both sides. We even offer electronic strikes and keypad access if you want to get high-tech with your security.

Why Choose the Fence Squad for Your Gates?

Precision is everything when it comes to gates. If a gate is off by even a quarter of an inch, it’s going to rattle, drag, or fail to latch. As a veteran-owned company, we’re big on the details. We spend the extra time to make sure that opening is perfectly square and the swing is perfectly smooth.

If you’re tired of fighting with a gate that won’t close, or you’re planning a new perimeter and want an entrance that makes a statement, give us a shout. We’ll help you design a gate that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
