FAQs
Which gate type is best for my ranch?
Swing for wide approaches and classic looks; slide where space is limited or winds are strong. We’ll size the operator and safety.
Solar or electric automation?
If you have reliable sunlight and want to avoid trenching, solar works great. Otherwise, electric power is preferred.
Can you match my house stone or existing fence?
Yes—stone color/texture, mortar style, and fence profiles can be matched for a seamless look.
What pipe should I choose?
We’ll spec wall thickness, rail counts, and tie-ins based on livestock pressure, terrain, and budget.
Do you build pedestrian/walk gates to match?
Absolutely—coordinated walk-through gates improve daily access without opening the main drive.
How do I keep maintenance low?
Quality coatings, proper drainage/footings, and periodic wash-downs. We’ll share a simple care checklist at handoff.
