Fence Gate Installation in Colorado
Forever Fencing CO provides professional fence gate installation in Colorado for homeowners who need durable, functional, and good-looking gates built to last. A well-built gate is one of the most important parts of any fence because it gets used constantly and takes more stress than most fence sections.
We install walk gates, double drive gates, custom wood gates, vinyl fence gates, ranch rail gates, and other residential gate styles throughout Northern Colorado and select Denver metro communities. Whether you need a gate for backyard access, a side yard entrance, or a wider opening for vehicles and trailers, we can help you choose the right gate design for your property.

Types of Fence Gates We Install
Every property is different, so the right gate depends on the fence type, width of the opening, frequency of use, and how much strength is needed. We install several types of residential fence gates depending on the project.
Walk Gates
Walk gates are one of the most common gate types for residential fencing. They are often installed for backyard access, side yard entry, or pedestrian pathways. A properly built walk gate should open smoothly, latch securely, and stay aligned over time.
Double Drive Gates
Double drive gates are used for wider openings where homeowners need access for vehicles, trailers, equipment, or larger backyard entry points. These gates need strong posts, proper framing, and quality hardware to perform well over time.
Cedar Fence Gates
Cedar gates are a popular choice for wood privacy fences because they match the natural appearance of the fence and provide strong curb appeal. We often build cedar gates for privacy fences, cedar fence projects, and horizontal cedar fencing.
Vinyl Fence Gates
Vinyl gates are commonly installed with vinyl fence projects and offer a clean, low-maintenance look. Proper gate support is especially important with vinyl so the gate continues to open and close correctly.
Ranch Rail and Split Rail Gates
For more open-style fencing, we also install gates that match ranch rail fences and split rail fences. These are common for acreage properties, larger lots, and side access points.
Why Gate Quality Matters
A gate is usually the hardest-working part of a fence. It gets opened and closed constantly, carries its own weight, and is more likely to sag or fail if it is not built correctly. That is why gate framing, hinge placement, latch hardware, and post stability matter so much.
A well-built gate should:
- Open and close smoothly
- Latch securely
- Stay level over time
- Resist sagging and dragging
- Match the style of the fence
Colorado wind can also put extra stress on gates, especially wider gates and privacy fence gates. For more on strong fence construction, visit our Colorado wind fence guide and our fence post depth guide.

Common Fence Gate Problems
Homeowners often call about gates because gates tend to fail before the rest of the fence. Common gate problems include:
- Sagging gates
- Dragging on the ground
- Broken hinges
- Misaligned latch hardware
- Posts that shift or loosen over time
If your gate is failing but the rest of the fence is still in good shape, you may not need full replacement. Visit our Fence Repair page or our Fence Replacement page to compare options.
Fence Gate Cost in Colorado
The cost of a gate depends on the gate width, fence material, type of hardware, framing requirements, and whether it is a single walk gate or a wider drive gate. Custom gates and double gates usually cost more than smaller standard gates because they require more materials and stronger support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fence gates do you install?
We install walk gates, double drive gates, cedar gates, vinyl gates, ranch rail gates, and other custom residential gate styles.
Why do fence gates sag over time?
Fence gates often sag when the framing is weak, the hinges are not properly supported, or the posts shift over time.

Yes. In many cases a gate can be replaced without replacing the rest of the fence.
Do you install double drive gates?
Yes. We install wider double drive gates for vehicle access, trailers, and larger openings.

Gate cost depends on the width, material, framing, hardware, and whether it is a walk gate or drive gate.
Can you build a cedar gate to match my fence?
Yes. We can build cedar gates to match many cedar privacy fence styles.
