What your fence gate needs to do
A gate is the one part of your fence that moves every day, so it’s built a little differently — reinforced frame, heavier hinges, a reliable latch. The right gate comes down to what you’re moving through it and how wide the opening is.
Walk gates — everyday access
A single walk gate, typically three to four feet wide, is the everyday way in and out of a yard. Built in the same material and style as your fence so the run looks seamless, with a self-closing hinge and a latch you can lock if you like.
Drive & double gates — vehicle access
For driveways, RVs, trailers, and equipment, a double-drive gate (two leaves) or a sliding gate spans a wider opening — usually eight to twelve feet. These carry more weight, so they use heavier posts, a reinforced frame, and stronger hardware, and can be fitted for an automatic opener.
Driveway gates
A driveway gate is a type of gate that is installed at the entrance to a driveway. It is typically used to provide security and control access to a property. Driveway gates can be made from a variety of materials and can be either manual entry or automatic.
Your gate matches your fence
Ergeon builds your gate from the same material and style as the fence it sits in, so it blends in instead of standing out. That means a gate in any of the materials we install.
Wood & vinyl gates
Wood and vinyl gates match a privacy or picket fence exactly — same boards, same color. They use a reinforced internal frame (often steel or a diagonal brace) so a tall, solid gate doesn’t sag over time.
Metal & aluminum gates
Ornamental aluminum and steel gates match a metal fence and are naturally rigid and rust-resistant — a popular choice for front-yard and pool gates, where a self-closing, self-latching gate is required by code.
Chain link gates
Galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link gates match a chain link fence in the same fabric and coating, framed in galvanized steel and hung on hardware rated for daily use — the lowest-cost gate option.
Cedar fences and gates
Japanese cedar fences will have many of the same beautiful tones as Western Red Cedar fences and will be a more economical option. Though this wood type is not as strong, it is still a good choice for residential fences.
Box wire fences and gates
A box wire fence is a type of fence made of heavy-gauge wire welded together in a grid pattern. Box wire fences can be paired with manual or automated gates for access. These fence and gate combinations can be used for security, boundary definition, and containment of animals.

Popular fence gate types
From a simple walk gate to a wide automated drive gate, these are the configurations Ergeon installs most often.
Single walk gate
A 3–4 ft gate for everyday foot access, matched to your fence, with a self-closing hinge and lockable latch.
Double-drive gate
Two leaves that swing open to span an 8–12 ft driveway opening for vehicles, RVs, and equipment, on reinforced posts and hardware.
Sliding gate
A gate that rolls sideways instead of swinging — ideal where there isn’t room for a gate to swing, or for very wide openings.
Pool & self-latching gate
A code-compliant gate that’s self-closing and self-latching with the latch out of a child’s reach — required around pools.
Arched & decorative gate
An arched top or ornamental detail makes the gate a focal point while matching the fence material.
Automated gate
A double-drive or sliding gate fitted for an automatic opener for hands-free vehicle access.
Flat top gates
A flat top gate is a type of gate that has a top that is level, rather than arched or peaked. Flat top gates are known for their simple and straightforward design, which can suit a wide range of architectural styles.
Dog ear gates
A dog ear gate is a type of gate with triangular shape at the top of each picket, giving it a distinctive appearance. The term "dog ear" refers to the shape of the picket, which resembles the ear of a dog when viewed from the side. They are known for their classic and rustic look.
Swing gates
Add a wooden gate for access or as a standalone structure. There are several frame options, including z-frames, box frames, or metal frames. The width and height are factors for how your gate will move and lock. Gates can mark off access to backyards or driveway areas.
Rolling gates
A rolling gate, also known as a sliding gate, is a type of fence gate that slides open and closed along a set of tracks. Rolling gates are a good choice for properties with limited space, as they do not swing open and therefore take up less space when open.
Metal frame gates
A metal frame gate is a type of gate where the structure is made from metal, typically steel or aluminum and is used to enclose or secure a property. The frame is designed to be strong and durable and may be painted or coated to protect it from the elements.

What is a fence gate?
A fence gate is the movable section of a fence that provides access through it, built from the same material and style as the fence so the run looks continuous. Because it swings or slides every day, a gate uses a reinforced frame, heavier hinges, and a dedicated latch, and is hung on its own posts set to carry the extra weight.
What types of fence gates are there?
The most common are a single walk gate (3–4 ft, for foot access), a double-drive gate (two leaves spanning 8–12 ft for vehicles), and a sliding gate (which rolls sideways where there’s no room to swing). Any of these can be built in wood, vinyl, metal, or chain link, and wider gates can be fitted for an automatic opener.
Fence gate costs
A gate is quoted as part of your fence project rather than by the foot. The panel itself costs about the same per foot as the fence it matches, plus a hardware premium for the reinforced frame, hinges, and latch — roughly $100–$250 for a standard walk gate, and $300–$600 or more for a wide double-drive gate. Sliding gates, automatic openers, and ornamental details add to the total.
| Gate type | Typical add to your fence quote | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single walk gate (3–4 ft) | Fence rate + ~$100–$250 hardware | Everyday foot access |
| Double-drive gate (8–12 ft) | Fence rate + ~$300–$600 hardware | Vehicles, RVs, equipment |
| Sliding gate | Fence rate + track & frame | Tight spaces or wide openings |
| Automatic opener | Quoted separately | Hands-free drive gates |
Gates are quoted as part of your fence project; cost depends on width, material, and hardware. Ranges are typical and directional.
Fence gate parts
A gate is built from a few parts engineered to handle daily movement and weight.
Gate posts
Heavier posts set deeper in concrete than line posts, because they carry the swinging or sliding weight of the gate.
Gate frame
The reinforced inner frame — often steel or a diagonal brace — that keeps a tall or wide gate from sagging.
Hinges
Heavy-duty hinges (often self-closing) sized to the gate’s weight; drive gates use multiple hinges per leaf.
Latch
The closing hardware — lockable on most gates, and self-latching on pool gates to meet code.
Opener (optional)
An automatic operator for drive and sliding gates, with a remote or keypad for hands-free access.
Swing vs. sliding gate: which is right for you?
For a driveway, the choice is usually swing vs. slide. A swing gate (single or double) is simpler and lower-cost but needs clear space to open. A sliding gate rolls along the fence line, so it’s ideal where a swing would hit a car, slope, or wall — at a higher cost for the track and frame.
| Swing gate | Sliding gate | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower | Higher (track & frame) |
| Space to open | Needs clear swing area | Rolls along the fence — no swing space |
| Best opening width | Up to ~12 ft | Wide openings |
| Works on a slope | Harder | Yes |
| Automation | Optional opener | Optional opener |
Fence Gate Installation FAQ
Gates are quoted with your fence, not by the foot. The panel costs about the same per foot as the matching fence, plus hardware — roughly $100–$250 for a standard walk gate and $300–$600+ for a wide double-drive gate. Sliding gates and automatic openers add more.
Single walk gates (3–4 ft) for foot access, double-drive gates (8–12 ft) for vehicles, and sliding gates that roll sideways where there’s no room to swing — all available in wood, vinyl, metal, or chain link.
Yes — double-drive and sliding gates can be fitted for an automatic opener for hands-free vehicle access. It’s quoted separately from the gate itself.
Tall or wide gates sag when the frame can’t carry the weight. Ergeon builds gates with a reinforced frame (often steel or a diagonal brace) and sets the gate posts deeper, so the gate stays square over time.
Yes. Financing is available for monthly payments, shown alongside your itemized quote.
