What sizes do these gates come in?
Ten in total. The single walk gate is 4' wide and the double swing gate is 12' wide, and each comes 4', 5', 6', 7' or 8' tall. Six feet is the most popular height.
Should I choose a 4' or 12' gate?
A 4' walk gate handles people, wheelbarrows, push mowers and trash bins. The 12' double swing opens wide enough for vehicles, trailers and most equipment. For farm machinery, measure your widest piece before you order.
Corrugated or ribbed: what's the difference?
7/8" corrugated steel has a rounded wave with a relaxed, farmhouse feel. Deep-groove ribbed steel has flat faces and sharp ribs that cast cleaner shadow lines, so it reads as more contemporary. Pick whichever matches the fence the gate hangs in.
Is the whole gate made of steel?
Yes: frame and infill. The frame is black steel on every gate, and there's no wood anywhere to stain, seal or rot, which is why it pairs with our black metal privacy fence kit.
Does the gate arrive assembled?
Yes. Each gate ships assembled and squared, so you don't have to build and true the frame on site, which is the step most likely to go wrong on a gate.
Which colors can I order?
The steel infill comes in Black, Gray, Brown or Corten Steel, set in a black frame. Black, Gray and Brown use the same fade-resistant, high-durability polyester (HDP) paint as our fence panels, on both faces, so a gate ordered with your fence matches it.
Is the Corten Steel gate painted?
No. It's real weathering steel that arrives bare and rusts to a protective, rust-orange patina outdoors over several weeks to months. Early runoff can stain a concrete driveway or pavers while the patina forms.
Are hinges and a latch included?
No. Hardware is sold separately in the universal black gate hardware kit.
What posts do I need?
Posts are sold separately. A single gate needs a hinge post and a latch post, and a double gate needs one post on each side of the opening. Black metal fence posts keep the gate all steel. Set gate posts deep, in concrete and below your frost line, since they carry the weight of the gate.
Do I need a wood-framed gate instead?
If your fence is cedar- or treated-wood-framed, choose our metal fence gate or ribbed metal fence gate, which use the same steel in a wood frame.
What warranty comes with the gate?
Every gate carries a 40-year warranty on the steel.
