Gate Construction

Gate construction covers the gate itself: the frame, infill, hinges or rollers and the hardware that lets it open and close. Gates are used for driveways, walkways, pool areas, farms, parking lots and commercial yards. The right style depends on the opening width, the slope of the drive, the space available beside the opening and whether the gate will be manual or automated. Material choice, such as steel, aluminum or chain link, affects weight, look and corrosion resistance.

This page covers walk, swing and driveway, cantilever slide, V-track and roll, and overhead gates, plus custom fabricated and commercial chain-link gates. Brands include ARMA Gate, Ameristar, Barrette, Catalyst, Monumental Iron Works, Feeney, Illusions, North State and Eastern, along with matching gates for Vista, Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators and Envision railing. Swing gates are simple and common, slide gates suit tight or sloped drives, and cantilever gates avoid a ground track. Custom fabricated gates cost more but fit unique openings.
