Gate posts need to be stronger than the rest of the fence posts. The gate is usually the last part of a fence to go up, and proper installation depends on strong, straight gate posts; many gate malfunctions occur because the posts holding them start to sag. The gate usually isn't difficult to construct, and its design is usually the same as the rest of the fence. It needs space on either side to ensure that it will continue to swing freely and close properly when the fence gets wet and the wood expands...

The function of a side gate is to keep a side entryway to a property secure. Side gates generally connect the property to quiet roads or lanes or to public eco-friendly spaces. They are a lot more appealing to thieves compared to the major gates that connect commercial properties to a significant street. That is why there is a need for proper setup of the gate. Considering that many side entries are small sufficient to permit just pedestrians ahead through, they have pedestrian gates that are smaller. These devices have a swing design so that they could be run conveniently by hand. They have physical locks also. It is possible for an opener and a moving arm to be affixed to them for automation. The main products, which the side units could be made from, consist of wood, steel, iron and aluminum.

The overall cost of fence post replacement generally includes removal and replacement of concrete footing for posts that have been reinforced in this manner, but it is uncommon for barbed wire fences except where it is made necessary by environmental factors. The cost also includes the new, pressure-treated post, hardware and labor. Factors that influence the cost include the height of the fence, local labor costs and how many posts require replacement. Understandably, taller fences are more expensive to repair than shorter ones. Metal fence posts are common in some areas, and prices associated with these vary according to the source of the materials. Scrap metal sources tend to cheaper than home improvement stores. Additionally, labor costs can vary widely. Homeowners concerned about any of these factors, including material sources and labor costs, should request an itemized estimate from their contractor. Fixing Broken Wire Using a Fence Stretcher A fence stretcher can help mend a fence without the need of adding new wire; it results in a tighter, stronger fence. A stretcher works by gripping the wire, stretching it and holding it in place during repairs. Because working with barbed wire can present a mild hazard, potentially resulting in cuts to the hands or arms, holding the wire in place properly is crucial. Additionally, achieving the proper level of tension in the repaired wire is necessary to maximize the efficacy of the fence, especially if it is used to enclose livestock. A fence stretcher is an important tool for this. The cost of repairs using a fence stretcher is generally low, but a certain degree of technical expertise is required to ensure a quality, lasting repair using this method. The primary costs here are labor and use of the tools needed for the job. If the fence requires splicing, additional expenses will come into play. Replacing Missing Wire Using a Fence Stretcher and Splicing in New Wire For a large-scale fence repair job, the cost can vary considerably. The barbed wire required for splicing is the cheapest component. The number of points on the barbs can influence this as well; most homeowners choose a two- or four-point design. For small repairs, such as a single fence section or just a few strands, wire can be purchased by the linear foot. It is important to remember that extra wire will be needed to wrap around the posts to secure the wire. Other costs include use of the fence stretcher, any hardware and labor. To slice a new piece of barbed wire into an existing fence, generally a fence stretcher is required. The barbed wire can be hand-spliced together with pliers and some patience; however, many experienced fence-menders recommend using fencing sleeves. These are inexpensive pieces of metal through which the wire can be fed for a more secure splice. Heavy pliers and a crimping tool are useful implements to help with this process along with a quality pair of work gloves. The crimping tool squeezes the fence sleeve secure, after which the strands of wire should be separated and either twisted by hand or with the pliers. This type of fix should require less than an hour from start to finish, and it takes much less time with experience. Was this page helpful? Thank you for submitting your feedback.

If you must absolutely mount a gate on a stair/banister, then consider this product. The pictures don't give what is included with this product (see photos). You get TWO square clamps and 1 set of adapters in case you need to attach the top/bottom to a rounded vertical support. If you have a rounded vertical support at the top AND bottom, you may be stuck buying 2 of these.I suggest buying 1 first and seeing if you need the second. My immediate opinions upon opening the packaging: - All the screws and extras could have been placed in one bag, but I understand why they are separated (to prevent shortages) - The packaging was the smallest they could get it, the large piece of wood is what actually causes the package to be so large - Upon reading the instructions, Drilling IS REQUIRED, just not drilling into the banister - The wood is well.wood color.I am installing this with a WHITE gate, so having it come painted white would have been nice.it looks tacky - The long screws which anchor the wood into the plastic clamps are FLAT HEAD screws.it is positively frustratingwhen you try to use a drill and it keeps slipping -> the KidCo gates all have Phillips screws, why does this product have flat head? My guess? To drive you bonkers when trying to install a gate and having to use two different drivers. Installation Tips: - Install the clamps first by hand and use a small level (if you are absolutely OCD about that stuff). - You will most likely be adjusting the clamps up/down to get the gate to install correctly, I did, 3 times. - I suggest anchoring the gate directly into the clamp (unlike the product picture). The KidCo gate (2100) I installed had impossibly small wood screws and using an extension made me uneasy. I installed one part of the gate hinge directly into the clamp, this way the hinge and forces act directly on the clamp and you avoid any force multipliers (levers) if your kid pulls on it (see photo).

The purpose of recommending a gate hanging procedure is to ensure that your gate is stock proof, easy to open and shut, and looks good on the farm. Use these tips when installing your Franklin Systems farm gates or other similar gates. There is more than one way to hang a gate and most farmers and contractors have their own particular method and reasons for hanging gates the way they do. As a result, Franklin has interviewed farmers and contractors all over New Zealand and has used the information from this research to formulate a recommended gate hanging procedure – the idea being to ‘do it once, do it right’. Good gate installation is important but using well designed, quality gate hardware can make a significant difference to the long life and functionality of a gate. Franklin gudgeons have been designed to remain secure in the post over long periods of time, which ensures the gate remains upright and swinging freely.

Wrought iron fences are susceptible to damage caused by Mother Nature including wind, hail, rain and sun exposure. Rust is a common reason why wrought iron fences need repairs. Vandals and animals can also cause damage to wrought iron fencing. If the cement for mounting the fence posts was not properly mixed or not buried deeply enough, freeze and thaw cycles may cause upheaval, thereby toppling sections of the fencing. To preserve the integrity of the fence and protect the property, repairs must be made in a prompt manner. Types of Repairs for Wrought Iron Fencing When wrought iron fencing is showing signs of rust, upheaval or other damage prompt repairs can halt the damage and restore the fencing to its original condition. Proper repair techniques are necessary in order for the wrought iron fencing to retain its full functionality. Repairing Rust Problems Rust is the greatest enemy against outdoor wrought iron fencing. To remove rust from wrought iron fencing, the rust is first brushed off using a wire brush or 160-grit sandpaper. For areas of heavy rusting, coarser grit sandpaper such as 80-grit may be needed. The iron worker then progresses to finer and finer grit sandpaper. Rubbing steel wool across the entire area affected by rust helps to smooth the iron and prepare it for application of rust-preventing sealant and paint. Before proceeding, repair workers lay down newspapers or plastic sheeting to protect nearby bricks, concrete or plants. Rust inhibitor is applied to the wrought iron fencing. This sealant prevents moisture from penetrating into the iron and causing any further rusting. It also acts as a primer for the paint. Once the rust inhibitor has set, paint can be applied to the fencing. Outdoor enamel paint is the ideal type for use on a wrought iron fence. The paint adds another layer of protection against the elements of nature.

Before Post Buddy, your options were... Ignore the leaning fence post and wait for the chain reaction, as one broken post pulls down the next. Then helplessly watch as a storm blows your whole fence down. Pay a handyman to repair or replace the rotted fence post and at great expense watch them trample all over your beautiful plants. Replace the post yourself. Spend hours of back-breaking work digging, taking the fence apart, breaking up concrete. Then spend a few more hours installing the new fence post. Use another, inferior repair and, after hours of preparation, despair as the metal repair spur goes in at the wrong angle and then cannot be adjusted. Or spend ages digging to fit an ugly concrete spur. With Post Buddy, you can... Save money and do it yourself The Post Buddy system is so easy to use, anyone can do it. Much less expensive and disruptive than a contractor, the long, slim repair stakes can be fitted in the tightest of spaces, without damaging your much-loved plants. Save time and effort Quickly and effectively mend the broken post where it stands. Simply drive the repair stakes into the ground between the fence post and the concrete base, screw into place and your post is solid and straight once again, adding years to the life of your fence. Fix any size concreted-in fencepost Once inserted, the flexibility of the Post Buddy fence post repair system and its unique design allows you to pull the post fully straight, before finally securing it into place. Powder-coated in brown, it blends well into the surrounding environment.

Method Garage Doors and Gates personnel (project managers, welders, gate and fencing builders) were very professional in designing, fabricating, installing the wrought iron pedestrian gates, a vehicle sliding gate, and the gate operator track. On the scheduled date of installation the vehicle sliding gate did not have the required heavy duty brackets for the drive chain which is a necessity for the motor operator to open and close the vehicle sliding gate. I asked the project manager what is needed to fabricate and install the heavy duty brackets. The response from the project manager, is if I can provide the actual Lift Master CSL 24VDC Gate Operator, measurements would be taken to determine the optimum location on the sliding gate to weld each chain drive Provider name locked. . Upon moving the Lift Master CSL 24VDC Gate Operator from a storage area on the property to the actual front yard driveway work area, the new Lift Master CSL 24VDC Gate Operator was quickly uncrated from its' packing and the cover was removed so that dimensional chain drive sprocket multiple plane measurements could be made by the Method Garage Doors and Gates Project Manager. After taking measurements, within minutes, Method Garage Doors and Gates personnel installed and welded the drive chain brackets. The wrought iron pedestrian gates, and the vehicle sliding gate are a work of art. I'm very pleased with the high level of detail, precision, design, and quality of work Method Garage Doors and Gates personnel (project managers, welders, gate and fencing builders) used to make this possible and the installation a reality. Virtually everyday, one or more of my neighbors, visitors, and/or other real property owners, have nothing but praise to say about the results of this project. I'm very pleased.
