For a 4-foot tall gate, we recommend using a simple slam latch; for a 6-foot tall gate, we suggest installing an ornamental thumb latch. If you want a bit of extra security and want to provide for optimal protection for your loved ones, we recommend installing a latch with an added deadbolt.
Failure to hang your wood gate hinges perfectly in a straight line on the pivot point of the hinges means they may bind and creak when the gate opens and closes. When you hang your fence, make sure you measure twice and use a pencil to mark where your hinges should go on the post, and then put the gate down. Predrill where the screws will go and then prop up the gate and screw the hinges into the gate and attach the hinges to the post. This is where having another person helps with the installation.
When it comes to wood fence pool gates, make sure your pool gate is self-closing. A majority of counties require you to have self-closing gates as a major safety measure.

Wooden gates will need treating every few years to protect against rot and decay. We have a wide range of woodcare products to help with this, including external paints, stains and varnishes.

Although the gate sizes are average between feet, the types of vehicles passing through the gate should be considered. The approach to the drive is also of importance. If the drive is straight, a smaller gate is sufficient. In the case of angulation or a sharp curve, a double and wider gate would be needed.
One thing that must be kept in mind while choosing a gate is, the bigger the gate, the larger the budget, and the maintenance. Although gates can be custom made to fit your preferences, they also come in standard sizes that can be utilized in any home. The front and back gates are usually for pedestrians and are not meant for cars or larger vehicles. They are between 3 to 4 feet wide.
The manufactured gates are usually 4- 5 feet. Swing gates can be composed of one large gate or two gates that connect to open and close. They are apt for vehicles to come and go. As they involve the passage of vehicles, they are usually 14 feet or more in width.
They are also taller than the pedestrian gates. Answering these questions will make sure you will not have to alter the gates and, therefore, the fence in the future.
