Why Gate Installation Requires an Expert
A gate needs to be perfectly square and hung on sturdy, well-set posts to prevent sagging over time.
- Prevents Sagging: A pro will build a gate with diagonal bracing and use heavy-duty hardware to ensure it doesn't sag.
- Secure Post Setting: The gate posts bear the most stress. Experts will set them deeper and with more concrete for maximum stability.
- Smooth Operation: A professionally installed gate will open and close smoothly without dragging on the ground.
Gate Repair FAQs
Why is my gate sagging and dragging on the ground?
Sagging is nearly always caused by the gate posts settling, or the lack of a proper diagonal brace within the gate frame itself. Professionals use a tension rod or diagonal board to keep the gate square.
Can I replace my old gate hinges with heavy-duty ones?
Yes, upgrading to heavy-duty, self-closing, or non-sagging gate hinges is highly recommended to improve the gate's longevity and stability.
