Custom Fence Gates in Bothell, WA
ANB PROBUILD builds custom fence gates in Bothell, WA that are designed for daily use rather than treated as a short fence panel. We plan the opening, gate swing, post support, bracing, and hardware together to keep access smooth and the gate line stable.
Local context
A gate places concentrated load on its posts and hardware, especially after seasonal moisture changes. We account for terrain, driveway or walkway clearance, latch placement, and the weight of cedar or horizontal slat assemblies before fabrication.
Reinforced Gate Frames
Use bracing and framing layouts selected to resist sagging and hold alignment over time.
Gate Replacement
Replace a failing gate and assess surrounding posts or fence sections when movement has affected the opening.
Why Gate Construction Is Different
A fence gate moves every day, so the surrounding structure has to manage a different kind of load than a fixed panel. The opening must be square, the hinge post needs adequate support, and the gate frame needs a bracing strategy that resists sagging without compromising the fence design.
We size the gate around the actual use: pedestrian access, garden equipment, waste bins, or a wider side-yard opening. This informs the gate width, swing direction, latch position, clearance above grade, and the choice of hardware.
Replacement and Hardware Options
A sticking or sagging gate may be caused by worn hinges, shifted posts, or a frame that was never designed for the load. We inspect the full opening before recommending an adjustment, reinforcement, or replacement.
Hardware can be selected for privacy, security, and everyday convenience. Options include self-closing hinges, keyed latches, drop rods, handles, and hardware finishes that visually match the fence or adjacent exterior fixtures.
