Walk, Driveway & Automatic Gate Installation in Austin & Georgetown
Gates Designed and Built Around How You Use Your Property
A gate is the part of a fence you use every day, so it has to look right, swing or slide smoothly and latch every time. Whether you need a simple walk gate to the backyard, a double driveway gate or a fully automatic entry with access control, the gate should be planned with the fence, not added as an afterthought.
Sagamore Fence & Deck designs and builds gates for homes, ranches, HOAs and commercial properties across Austin, Georgetown and Central Texas from our base at 6550 FM 1105 in Georgetown. We know automatic gate components and technology inside and out, so we can design a complete system, from the gate itself to the operator, safety devices and access control.

Our Gate Services
We build gates in wood, iron and steel, chain link and wire panel to match the fence around them, as part of our full fence installation service or as a stand-alone project.

Walk gates for side yards, backyards, pool areas and garden paths, built to match your fence and fitted with hinges and latches that suit how often the gate gets used.

Access control
Decide who gets in and how. We plan the access control along with the gate, so the keypad, remotes and other devices fit the way your home, community or business works.

Why a Well-Built Gate Matters
A gate gets more wear than any other part of a fence. Building it right the first time saves you from sagging, dragging and latches that won’t catch.
Security and privacy
A solid gate with the right latch or lock finishes off the fence line, so the whole perimeter does its job.
Everyday convenience
An automatic driveway gate opens from your car, and a keypad lets family, guests and deliveries in without a key.
Built to stay square
Steel frames, strong posts and the right hinges keep gates from sagging and dragging over time.
Safety around pools and kids
Self-closing, self-latching gates help keep pool areas and yards closed when they should be.
A finished look
A gate designed with the fence matches its style, height and material, from cedar to iron.

Sagamore Fence & Deck: Gates Designed as a Complete System
From a backyard walk gate to an automatic entry for a community, we plan the gate, hardware and access together, then manage the job from start to finish.
We design the system
We size the gate, choose the frame and hardware and specify the operator and access control so every part works together.
Trusted installation partners
Our automatic-gate installation partners have worked with us for years and install to our standards.
Built for local conditions
We set gate posts for Central Texas clay and limestone so heavy gates stay put.
Hardware that fits the use
Hinges, latches, drop rods and locks are chosen for the gate's size, weight and how often it opens.
Clear, written estimates
You get a written estimate that spells out the gate, hardware, operator and access control before any work starts.
Gates Built for Your Property
The right gate depends on the opening, the slope of the driveway, the fence around it and how you want to use it.
Swing or slide
• Swing gates
A good fit when there’s room for the gate to open and the driveway is fairly level.
• Slide gates
Cantilever and track gates save space and work well on tight or sloped driveways.
Homes, Ranches, HOAs and Businesses
We build gates for backyards and driveways, ranch entrances, HOA common areas and amenities, and commercial and municipal properties.
Matched to your fence
Cedar, iron, steel, chain link or wire panel, built to the same style and height as the fence around it.
Gate Installation FAQs
Do you install automatic gates?
Yes. Sagamore designs the system and manages the job, including the gate, the operator, safety devices and access control. Our automatic-gate installation partners have worked with us for years and install to our standards.
Should I choose a swing gate or a slide gate?
A swing gate works well when there’s room for it to open and the driveway is fairly level. A slide gate, either cantilever or on a track, is often the better choice for tight spaces, sloped driveways or wide openings. We look at your opening and recommend the option that fits.
What kind of access control can you add?
We can plan keypads, keypad locks, remotes and other entry devices, along with free-exit options so vehicles can leave without a code. We design the access control with the gate, so it fits the way your home, community or business works.
Can a wood driveway gate stay straight over time?
Yes, when it’s built right. We typically build wood and cedar driveway gates on steel frames and hang them on strong posts with the right hinges, which helps them stay square instead of sagging and dragging.
Can you build a gate to match my existing fence?
Usually, yes. We build gates in wood, iron and steel, chain link and wire panel, and we match the style and height of the fence around them as closely as the materials allow.
How much does a driveway gate cost?
It depends on the width of the opening, the material, whether it swings or slides and whether you add an operator and access control. We give you a written estimate after looking at your property, and our instant quote tool can give you a ballpark first.
