Does anybody know that can install fence gates ( one at the front and one at the back ). The fencing is done already, I just need somebody to install the gates.
Do you know any good company or contractor that can do this that is reliable and not too expensive ?
Please let me know thanks !
By the wording of your post it sounds like the gates are already made, hanging gates is nothing - a great DIY job. Odd though that whomever built the fence didn't install the gates., what is up with that?Quote:

The door is not ready and it requires post as well for the door.

Okay, now I'm more confused - if your fence is complete then there should be a post at the end of your fence where you'd attach your gate unless you're saying you need a post installed against an existing structure such as a garage or house.Quote:

@spikerS could probably bang that out.
Post some pics. Might be up for this as I have lots of vacation days and nowhere to go. I can provide pics of previous jobs I've done for fencing. Also did some chainlink as a university student.
If your your posts are already in then pickup a gate kit from amazon. Super simple to do and comes with instructions. Will save you some monies.
I could, but I have enough projects on the go, and the rain has delayed me a lot. I have to finish up Finboy's fence this week, and then I have to finish up like 4 custom furniture commissions.Quote:

Get a Peak gate kit from Home Depot, anyone can build a gate with that.
Hey Spiker, can you connect with me, I need couple gates done myself. Send me a PM.
I wouldn't hire spikerS, unless you want to wait 3 months and still not have a completed fence like was my experience with him. After 3 months I had to hire someone else to complete his job, and since he requested payments upfront and stopped showing up half way, it ended up costing me a lot more than hiring someone else from the start like I should have done. My neighbor had the same exact experience with him too.
spikerS has already declined. He is not looking for new work. He has a day job and a family that come before this type of work.
There is a beyond member who has offered in this thread to assist. He's a capable and hardworking guy.

Everyone's gone pretty quiet.
Well @apkking , what did you do about your gate situation?
I have nothing of value to add, just posting to show off the gates I built at my house.

^ Those are awesome. Great job
You should build gates on the side for people like the OP. Those are sweet.
Thanks for the compliments.
I don't have a ton of spare time to build gates on the side, and I have my doubts that most people would be willing to pay what I would want to charge, to make it worth my while. I'm sure there is a market for them though and if I was unemployed this could fill some spare time.
On that note, what would Beyond be willing to pay for gates like that? I do have a guy that I've worked with to build/install stuff like this, and he would typically use my tools and shop anyways...
