What Our Fence Gates Includes
We never take shortcuts with post depth or fasteners. Every project includes complete professional execution from utility locate coordination through final cleanup.
Why Standard Fences Fail in Colorado Springs
Property owners across Colorado Springs, Fountain, and Falcon face unique climatic stresses: sudden 70-80 mph downslope Chinook winds, severe frost heave in winter, and bentonite clay that heaves unanchored posts out of plumb. Our specialized fence gates prevents leaning sections, loose pickets, and sagging gates through engineered depth and superior fastening.
Footing Depth: Minimum 24 inches (below 20" frost line).
Fasteners: Ceramic exterior screws (no nails to work loose).
Concrete: ~100 lbs per post for lateral wind resistance.
Our Step-by-Step Craftsmanship Process
1. Gate Opening & Clearance Survey
Laser-checking post plumbness, walkway ground slope, and desired swing direction.
2. Heavy Hinge Post Excavation
Boring 30- to 36-inch deep holes for heavy 6x6 timber or steel hinge posts.
3. High-Mass Concrete Pour
Pouring 150 to 200 lbs of commercial concrete with a wide bell-shaped base to resist cantilever sag.
4. On-Site Frame Fabrication
Building custom wooden or steel gate frames on-site with compression diagonal 2x4 cross-braces.
5. Through-Bolted Hinge Mounting
Installing heavy-duty adjustable J-bolt strap hinges bolted completely through the timber post.
6. Positive-Latch Hardware Tuning
Mounting gravity latches, anti-sag turnbuckle cable kits, and exterior safety gate pulls.
Cost Factors
The cost of fence gates in Colorado Springs depends on overall linear footage, ground slope, soil rockiness (especially on the granite west side near Manitou Springs), post material choices, and custom gate widths. Standard wood privacy fences generally range between $26 and $42 per linear foot installed, while specialty ranch rails, metal posts, or custom shadowbox styles reflect lumber grade and post depth specifications.
PPRBD & Local Permits
Standard pedestrian and driveway gates on residential fences do not require building permits unless enclosing a swimming pool barrier (requiring PPRBD pool code compliance: 54-inch latch height, outward swing, self-closing). Gates across driveway rights-of-way must not swing outward into public sidewalks or municipal streets. Fully licensed under CO SOS #20191360619.
The Veteran Standard
Gates are the only moving mechanical part of your fence, and where 90% of failures occur. Jeremy's Fences refuses to use cheap hardware store T-hinges that sag in six months. We build custom heavy frames with compression bracing, 6x6 hinge posts, and through-bolted adjustable J-bolt hinges that swing smoothly for decades.

“I was very pleased with Jeremy and his team! I had called several other companies and they were all booked out 1-2 months. I found Jeremy’s Fences online and he picked up right away and then showed up within a few hours. I recently had some teenage boys who stole their moms car and took a joyride right into my fence! I did not want to wait 1-2 months with a huge opening to the backyard. Jeremy’ Team got right to work the same day I called them and then finished the very next day. It looks great!!! I would highly recommend them. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value Services General repairs & maintenance, Wood fence installation 1”

“In a word, AWESOME work by Jeremy's Fencing. I wish I had more cash on hand for the tip, but I will make up for it when it's time to replace the other side of the fence. Not only was Jeremy and his guys friendly and professional, my fence turned out amazing. You won't go wrong if you hire them for all your fencing needs!! This is one of the reasons I always try to use small businesses. Thank you again!”
