Fence Gate Installation Boise | 5-Year Warranty

Fence gate installation in Boise typically costs $300-$800 per gate and takes 1-2 days to complete. At Equinox Fence, we specialize in custom fence gate installation throughout Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and Kuna using our unique steel post foundation system that prevents the most common gate failure points.

Unlike traditional wood post installations that often fail within 3-5 years, our steel post system ensures your gate will operate smoothly for decades. We use premium select-grade cedar construction with galvanized steel posts set below the frost line, backed by our comprehensive 5-year craftsmanship warranty. Our metal fabrication expertise allows us to create both functional and aesthetically pleasing gates that enhance your property’s value and provide superior access control.

Why it Matters

Steel Post Foundation System

The Problem with Traditional Wood Posts: Most gate failures occur at the post level. Wood posts rot at ground level, become loose in concrete footings, and shift due to Boise’s clay soil conditions and freeze-thaw cycles. Traditional iron or wrought iron installations also suffer from corrosion without proper treatment.

Our Steel Post Solution: We use galvanized steel posts set in concrete footings that extend below Idaho’s frost line. This eliminates rot, prevents shifting, and provides the structural integrity needed for long-term gate operation. Our powder coating process adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and extends the investment value of your gate.

Local Climate Considerations: Boise’s temperature extremes, from winter freezes to summer heat, require posts that won’t expand, contract, or deteriorate. Our manufacturing process ensures steel posts maintain stability through all weather conditions while preserving the visual aesthetics of your yard.

Materials & Design Options

Wood Gate Construction: Premium cedar construction offers natural beauty and durability. Our wood gates feature steel reinforcement and are designed to complement your landscape while withstanding Idaho's climate variations.
Metal & Steel Options: For enhanced durability and security, we offer metal gate construction using galvanized steel with powder coating protection. These gates provide superior corrosion resistance and long-term performance.
Wrought Iron Integration: Custom wrought iron elements can be incorporated into gate designs for enhanced aesthetics and traditional appeal. Our metal fabrication capabilities allow for unique design solutions.
Commercial Grade Materials: For commercial fencing applications, we use heavy-duty materials designed for high-frequency use and enhanced security. These installations prioritize durability and access control functionality.

[ Questions / Answers ]

FAQ

How much does gate installation cost in Boise?

Gate installation typically ranges from $300-$800 per gate, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Custom decorative gates with wrought iron or specialized metal work may require a higher investment. Our estimator provides transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We offer flexible payment options to fit your budget.

How long does gate installation take?

Most residential gate installations take 1-2 days. Steel posts require concrete curing time, so we typically schedule over two visits: post setting on day one, gate installation on day two. Commercial fencing projects may require additional time based on access control complexity.

Why use steel posts instead of wood posts?

Steel posts eliminate the primary failure point in gate installations. Wood posts often rot or become loose within 3-5 years, especially in Boise’s clay soil and climate conditions. Our steel construction with powder coating provides decades of stability and superior corrosion resistance.
