Everything You Need to Know About Gate Installation

When installing a new cedar wood, vinyl or aluminum fence, it is important to consider what will make your fence as functional as it is beautiful: a gate. When it comes to gate installation and repair, Certified Fencing offers quick and affordable fencing services. But first you'll need to decide which fence will best meet your yard's needs. There are several factors to consider when choosing the placement and type of gate in your new fencing, including: 


  1. Number: Typically, a home or business needs at least two gates to optimize functionality. This usually includes an entrance or exit gate for people as well as a utility gate to push things in and out of, like lawn mowers and landscaping supplies. If you have a front yard fence, consider where would be the best place would be for yourself, family and guests to enter into your front yard. As far as a utility fence goes, make sure it is in a spot that is easily accessible to gardening tools and other larger items that will frequently go in and out, like trashcans. Feel free to contact Certified Fencing at 208-449-2040 to talk over possible gate addition options. 
  2. Width and Height: The width of your gate will depend on what you would like the gate to function as. Is it a decorative aluminum front yard gate that only people will use? Then a thinner gate will suffice. It is meant to be more of a security or utility gate? A wider cedar wood gate or a taller aluminum gate could be a good pick for you. 
  3. Aesthetic: Depending on the look you are deciding on for your front or backyard landscape design, you might choose anything from a wrought iron to a vinyl gate. It all depends on the type of fence you already have or are thinking about installing. Depending on that fence material, you can choose a gate material or look that will compliment the style or material.
