A gate is the only moving part of a fence, and it's where cheap fences confess. In Florida humidity an unbraced wood gate sags within a summer; a gate hung on undersized hinges tears its screws out of a soft post. We frame gates on welded steel or properly braced wood, hang them on heavy hinges sized for the width, and set gate posts deeper than line posts — because a gate post carries a load every single day.
Widths matter for North Brevard life: a standard 4-ft walk gate for people and mowers, 10–12 ft double-drive gates for the boat and travel trailer, up to 16–20 ft on Mims and Scottsmoor acreage for equipment. Tell us the widest thing that has to get through, with mirrors, and we'll size the opening to it.
Corner lots in Titusville have a gate trap: driveway gates near intersections sit inside the city's sight-line rules, and a solid 6-ft gate in the wrong spot is a code problem. We check the setback and sight triangle before placing a gate on a corner — moving a gate on paper is free; moving it after the posts cure is not.
