Gate Installation & Repair in Shreveport & Bossier City, LA

Custom fence gates built and installed in Shreveport & Bossier City

Your gate gets used more than any other part of your fence. It swings open every morning, gets slammed by the wind, and carries the weight of the whole opening on two or three hinges. When a gate sags, drags or won't latch, it's usually because it was built or hung the wrong way. Superior Fence & Decks builds and installs gates that are made to stay square and swing easy for years, in Shreveport, Bossier City and the towns around them.

Gates we build and install

Walk gates

Single walk gates for side yards, front yards and backyards. We set them wide enough for mowers, wheelbarrows and trash cans, and we match them to your fence so they look like they belong.

Double drive gates

Double gates open wide for trucks, trailers, boats and equipment. We use heavy posts, a center drop rod and the right hardware so both sides close flush and stay that way.

Ameristar wrought iron gates

Ameristar ornamental steel and aluminum gates look sharp at the front of a home or the entrance to a property. They're strong, they don't rot, and they can be matched to an Ameristar fence line. See our wrought iron fence page.

Wood gates

Western red cedar and redwood gates built on a steel frame or a braced wood frame so they don't sag. We match the boards and style of your wood privacy fence. See our cedar and redwood fence page.

Bufftech vinyl gates

Bufftech PVC vinyl gates with aluminum-reinforced frames, matched to your vinyl fence. No painting, no staining. See our vinyl fence page.

Chain link gates

Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link walk gates and drive gates for homes, businesses and job sites. See our chain link fence page.

Why most gates sag, and how we stop it

A gate sags when the post moves or the frame racks out of square. We prevent both:

• Gate posts are set deeper and heavier than line posts, in concrete.
• Wood gates get a steel frame or a proper diagonal brace running the right direction.
• We use heavy-duty hinges and latches sized for the weight of the gate.
• Every gate is checked for a clean swing and a solid latch before we leave.

Gate repair and replacement

If your gate already drags on the ground, won't latch or has a broken hinge, we can usually fix it without replacing the whole fence. We re-set leaning gate posts, re-square frames, add anti-sag kits and replace worn hardware. If the gate is too far gone, we'll build a new one to match. Learn more on our fence repair page.

Pool gates and safety

Gates around a pool should be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch set high enough that small children can't reach it. We install pool-safe gate hardware and can help you meet the requirements your city or insurance company asks for. See our pool fence page.

Gate FAQs

How wide should my gate be?

Most walk gates are 4 to 5 feet wide so a mower fits through. Drive gates are usually 10 to 16 feet total. We'll measure and recommend the right size.

Can you add a gate to my existing fence?

Yes. We can cut in a new gate opening, set new gate posts and build a gate that matches your fence.

Can you fix a gate you didn't build?

Yes. We repair gates no matter who installed them.

How long does a gate install take?

Most single gates are done in a day. Concrete needs time to cure, so we may come back to hang heavy drive gates.
