Swing Gates in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Gates, Openers and Access Control

Swing Gates

Single and double swing gates for farms, estates and homes, hung on strong posts and hinges that open smoothly and stay square season after season.

Swing gates are the classic way to close an opening. A single gate covers a walk or a narrow drive, and a double gate spans a wider entry. They open on hinges like a door and can be built from steel pipe, ornamental steel, aluminum or wood. Owners in Nashville and around Middle Tennessee choose swing gates for farms, estates, backyards and neighborhood entries.

We start with a Free Estimate and look at how the gate will swing, which side needs clearance and how slope affects the arc. We plan posts and footings that can carry a hanging gate for years, choose hinges and latches suited to the weight and set a gate stop or drop bolt for double gates. We explain how to prevent sag with proper bracing and why heavy gates benefit from adjustable hinges. A swing gate looks simple, but it carries a lot of weight on two points. The hinge post, the hinges and the frame all work together, and a small shortcut shows up as sag within a season. We build with oversized posts, strong hardware and braces, and we adjust the gate before we leave so it swings freely.

Swing clearance

Gates need room to open, and slopes can make them drag, so we plan the arc and adjust hinges or install a gate that rises.

Post strength

The hinge post carries all the weight, so it is larger and set deeper than line posts.

Hinges and latches

Heavy-duty hinges and positive latches keep the gate swinging easily and holding closed.

Bracing and adjustment

Diagonal bracing, tension rods and adjustable hinges help the gate stay square.

Questions

Swing Gates FAQ

Why does my gate sag?

Weak posts, light hinges or missing braces are common causes. Heavy gates need proper support.

Which way should a gate swing?

It depends on the site and use. Pool gates swing away from the pool, and drives swing into the property if there is room.

Can swing gates work on slopes?

Yes, with rising hinges, longer clearance or a different design.

How wide can a double gate be?

Double gates can span wide openings, and we size them for your vehicles and the site.

Do I need a drop rod?

Double gates often need a drop rod or ground stop to hold one leaf closed.
