I have a wooden fence but both gates are falling apart. Thinking about putting up the black aluminum ones. Anyone have these? Seems like they would hold up and function better than the wooden ones.

What are the prices like for a standard double/single gate compared to wood?

So you are going to put a black gate on a wood fence?

I see it a lot. If done well it doesn't look bad (looks better than a sagging wooden gate) and it works a lot better.

I'm in the same boat as you. Who is a good contact for an estimate?

Never really noticed a set up like that. But if you like it, I would just pay the extra as long as it isn't too exorbitant. Can't offer prices . frick a saggy gate though.

Tiger Fences

Owner Billy Bozarth is a good guy and works out some pretty good deals.

Kind of looking at this myself. I hate wooden fences. Would rather something else with privacy shrubs.

Is the aluminum gate see-through whereas the wood gate is not? That would be my only hesitation if so (besides it probably being more expensive).
