It depends on your priorities. Aluminum is popular for its elegance and low maintenance. Wood offers a classic, warm look but requires periodic maintenance. Wrought iron is the most durable and traditional. Vinyl is the lowest maintenance but has limited design options for gates. We can help you choose the best material for your home.
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Some areas require a permit for automated gates, especially if electrical work is involved. HOA communities may have additional approval requirements. Dubya Fence handles the permitting process and ensures your gate meets all local codes. See our SC fence permit guide for more details.
Absolutely. We regularly add gates to existing fence lines. We will match the gate material and style to your current fence and install the appropriate posts and hardware. If your existing fence needs reinforcement at the gate location, we handle that too.
