A Sagging Gate Is the First Thing Guests See
Gates fail because of posts, not hardware. Every gate post we set is deeper, heavier and braced — then the hinges just work.
Gates Hung to Match the Fence You Have
Adjustable hinges, drop rods on double gates, and gravity or magnetic latches sized to the gate. Opener installs include safety photo-eyes and battery backup.
Walk gates, 3–5 ft
Single gates matched to any fence style, framed with steel or cedar so they never sag.
Double drive gate, 10–16 ft
Manual double-swing gates with drop rod and center stop for driveways and acreage access.
Swing or slide with opener
Solar or hardwired operator, keypad pedestal at the drive, remotes, safety loops and battery backup.
Driveway gates on acreages pair with a full fence line — we'll design both together. Request a free estimate.
The Crew That Sets Gate Posts Deeper
Local fence builders who've set posts in every kind of central Iowa ground — Polk County clay, Dallas County fill, Warren County hills. We show up when we say we will, show you material samples side by side, and give you one fair written price. No upsell, no surprises, and the owner picks up the phone.
Three Steps to a Gate That Latches
We walk your property line
You tell us what you need — privacy, pets, curb appeal, security. We measure, check grades and utility locates, and explain your options with no pressure.
You get a clear plan and price
A written estimate with materials, layout and timeline spelled out. No hidden fees. You decide when — or if — you want to move forward.
We build it right and clean up
Posts below frost line, crowned concrete, straight lines. We haul away the old fence and debris, and walk the finished job with you before we leave.

What to Know Before You Order a Gate
How much does automatic driveway gate installation cost?
A manual double drive gate runs $1,500–$4,000 installed. Adding an operator, keypad, remotes and safety sensors typically brings the total to $5,000–$9,000; solar-powered systems cost a bit more up front.
Swing gate or slide gate?
Swing when you have room for the leaves to open and the drive is level. Slide when the drive slopes toward the gate, space is tight, or you want it out of the way in snow.
Can you fix a sagging gate without replacing the fence?
Usually yes. We reset or replace the gate post, re-square the frame and rehang on adjustable hinges. If the gate itself is rotted, we build a new one to match.
Do openers work in Iowa winters?
Yes, with the right unit. We install operators rated to -30°F with heaters where needed, and keep the gate's travel clear of snow buildup with correct ground clearance.
Workmanship warranty
If a post we set heaves or a gate we hung sags, we come back and fix it. Materials carry the manufacturer's warranty on top.
Why not wait?
Every winter a leaning fence leans more. Lumber and labor don't get cheaper, and the dog isn't getting slower. Build it now and have the yard this season.
A Sagging Gate Pulls the Whole Line Off
Leaning posts pull neighboring panels out of line until whole sections need replacing
Rotted rails and pickets turn a cheap repair into a full rebuild
Shallow-set posts heave more every winter — the fix costs more each year you wait
A failing fence means escaped pets, disputes with neighbors, and a hit to your home's value
