About This Service
A great fence deserves a great gate — and Bedford Fence builds gates that are every bit as impressive as the fences they complement. Whether you need a simple pedestrian side gate for backyard access, a wide double-swing gate for equipment or trailer entry, a rolling cantilever gate for your driveway, or a grand estate entrance gate with automatic operation, our experienced gate builders deliver custom solutions that combine flawless operation with beautiful craftsmanship. Gates are the most functionally demanding component of any fence system — they must open and close smoothly thousands of times, withstand daily use without sagging or dragging, and maintain secure latching in all weather conditions. Bedford Fence's gate construction techniques ensure your Bedford gate performs reliably for years, not months.
The number one complaint homeowners have about fence gates is sagging — that frustrating condition where the gate drags on the ground, won't latch properly, or swings open on its own. Gate sagging is almost always the result of poor construction: undersized posts, inadequate concrete footings, flimsy hinges, and missing structural reinforcement. Bedford Fence eliminates these issues through over-engineered gate construction that addresses every failure point. Our gate posts are heavy-duty 4x6 or 6x6 lumber (or steel for iron gates) set 36-42 inches deep in oversized concrete footings. We use commercial-grade, self-closing spring hinges rated for 2-3 times the gate weight. Every wood gate includes a steel anti-sag bracket or tension cable that prevents the cross-bracing from loosening over time. The result is a gate that opens and closes effortlessly, latches securely, and stays true and level for the life of your Bedford fence.
For Bedford homeowners wanting the ultimate in convenience and security, we offer automatic gate systems with remote control, keypad, and smartphone app operation. Our automatic driveway gates include slide gates for properties with limited space, swing gates for wide driveways, and barrier arm systems for commercial applications. We install UL-listed gate operators with safety features including auto-reverse sensors, manual release mechanisms, and battery backup for operation during power outages. Automatic gates significantly enhance property security by controlling vehicle access while adding a prestigious entrance feature that impresses visitors and increases property value. Whether your Bedford property needs a simple manual gate or a fully automated entry system, Bedford Fence designs, builds, and installs gate solutions that work flawlessly and look outstanding.
Bedford Fence builds gates in every style and material to match your existing fence and your Bedford home's architecture. Our wood gates are constructed from the same premium cedar as our privacy fences, with full-frame construction and steel reinforcement. Our iron gates feature the same powder-coated ornamental iron as our iron fence panels, with decorative elements that tie the design together. We build single-swing gates, double-swing gates, sliding gates, and custom arched-top or shaped gates for unique applications. Gate hardware options include gravity latches, thumb latches, keyed deadbolts, magnetic latches, cane bolts for double gates, and heavy-duty spring hinges. We also repair and replace existing gates — if your current gate is sagging, dragging, or not latching properly, call 903-420-3765 for a quick assessment and repair estimate.
Why Choose Us
Here's why Bedford homeowners trust Bedford Fence for their Gates needs.
Every gate we build includes steel anti-sag kits, heavy-duty hinges, and oversized post footings that eliminate the sagging, dragging, and alignment problems that plague poorly built gates. Your Bedford gate stays true and level for years.
We use commercial-grade hinges, latches, and hardware rated for thousands of cycles. Self-closing spring hinges, secure latches, and cane bolts for double gates ensure smooth, reliable operation in all weather conditions.
Standard pre-made gates rarely fit properly. We build every gate to the exact width and height of your opening, ensuring a perfect fit with proper clearance. From 3-foot pedestrian gates to 20-foot driveway entrances, we build to spec.
Upgrade to automatic gate operation with remote controls, keypads, smartphone apps, and intercom integration. Our Bedford automatic gate installations include safety sensors, battery backup, and manual release mechanisms.
Your gate matches your fence perfectly — same materials, same style, same finish. Whether it is cedar board-on-board, ornamental iron, or a combination of wood and iron, the gate is a seamless extension of your Bedford fence.
Pool access gates must meet Texas safety codes including self-closing hinges and self-latching mechanisms that cannot be reached by children. We build pool-compliant gates that keep your family safe while looking great.
Our Work
How It Works
We assess your Bedford property's access needs, measure the opening precisely, and discuss gate style, material, hardware, and any automation requirements. We present options with detailed pricing.
Your gate is built to exact specifications using premium materials and anti-sag construction techniques. Wood gates receive full-frame construction with steel reinforcement. Iron gates are welded and powder-coated to match your fence.
We install the gate with oversized posts (if not existing), commercial hinges, and selected hardware. For automatic gates, we install the operator, safety sensors, controls, and program your remotes and keypads.
We test every gate for smooth operation, proper latching, and correct swing clearance. Automatic gates are tested through multiple cycles and safety sensor checks. We adjust spring tension, latch alignment, and clearances to perfection.
Gate costs in Bedford vary by size and type. Standard cedar pedestrian gates (3-4 feet wide) run $300-$600 installed. Double-swing cedar gates (6-10 feet wide) cost $600-$1,200. Iron gates range $500-$2,000+. Automatic driveway gate systems including operator, controls, and installation start at $3,000-$8,000 depending on size and features. Call 903-420-3765 for accurate pricing.
Gates sag because of undersized posts, shallow footings, weak hinges, and missing structural support. We prevent sagging with oversized gate posts (4x6 or 6x6) set 36-42 inches deep in concrete, commercial-grade hinges rated for 2-3x the gate weight, steel anti-sag bracket kits, and proper cross-bracing. This over-engineered approach eliminates sagging for the life of the gate.
In many cases, yes — we can retrofit automatic operators onto existing gates if the posts, gate frame, and hardware are in good condition. We assess your existing gate's structure and hardware to determine if it can support an operator or if modifications are needed. If your gate needs replacement anyway, we recommend combining the new gate with automation for the best results.
Yes — all automatic gate systems we install include battery backup that provides operation during power outages. They also include a manual release mechanism (key-operated) that allows you to open and close the gate manually if the battery is depleted. You are never locked in or locked out.
Yes — we regularly modify fence lines to widen gate openings. Whether you need a wider opening for a boat, RV, trailer, or simply want a more grand entrance, we can relocate posts and adjust the fence to accommodate the exact gate width you need on your Bedford property.
