Gates are a large part of fence work in Scottsdale because the walls are already there. We build and hang side-yard gates, double RV gates, courtyard entry gates, and driveway gates that swing or slide, in steel, steel with wood or composite infill, and aluminum.
Most gates here hang from a block wall or a steel post beside one, and that connection is where they fail. We set dedicated steel hinge posts in concrete instead of trusting old masonry to carry the load. Infill is chosen with heat in mind, since wood boards on a west-facing gate shrink and loosen. On a long north Scottsdale driveway, the slope and the swing direction decide whether a swing or a slide gate will work.
For automatic gates we install operators, keypads, remotes and safety sensors, and we plan the power supply and emergency access with you. Electronics live a hard life in summer heat and monsoon dust, so placement and shade for the control box are part of the plan. Gated communities and associations usually review the design of anything facing the street.
Gates & gate operators in Scottsdale: common questions
Can you add an opener to my existing driveway gate?
Usually. The gate has to swing or roll freely first, the posts must be solid and power has to reach it. We check those on site.
Why does my side gate drag in summer?
The hinge post has usually moved or the frame has gone out of square as wood dried. Resetting the post and bracing the frame fixes most of them.
How wide should an RV gate be?
Wide enough for the vehicle and the turn into it. We measure the trailer, the side yard and the approach before we suggest a width.
