A gate is the part of a fence that does the most work. It opens and closes thousands of times a year, takes the load of its own weight at the hinges, and has to keep its shape across years of use. Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living installs custom swing gates and slide gates across Lyman and the surrounding Upstate, with the post sizing, hardware, and material on every gate specified for the gate’s actual dimensions and the way the household will use it.
As a gate installation company, we design and install both standalone gates and gates built into a full fence run. Gate installation services from a generalist often produce gates that sag, drag, or stick within the first year because the post is undersized for the gate weight or the hardware is rated for a lighter load than the panel actually puts on it. The fix is almost always replacing the post, which means demoing the adjacent fence panel.
Recent gate installations we’ve completed across the Upstate, organized by the gate styles and materials we install most often.
Gate installations across the Upstate.
Our gate installation services start with consultation and design and move through to a final cycle test on the installed gate. Our process includes site visit to confirm gate location and swing arc, post specification and installation, gate panel fabrication or specification in the chosen material, hardware installation sized for the gate weight, gate hung and aligned to close square through full travel, and latch hardware. Customization and upgrades, plus maintenance and repair, are available as separate or add-on items.
Gate installation looks straightforward but isn’t. The post has to be sized for the gate weight, the hardware has to be installed at the right height for the panel and the latch, and the gate has to swing or slide through full travel without sticking. A gate installation company that does this work routinely also handles maintenance and repair, customization, and upgrades on existing gates, which means the installer who sets the gate today is the same team that services it later.
