Overview
Fences & Firepits builds and hangs walk gates, double gates, driveway gates and custom arched gates as part of new wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link fence installations in the Charlotte area. A gate is the part of a fence you use every day, so we size it, frame it and hang it to swing and latch reliably.

Styles & options
Gates options we install
Single walk gate
Typically 4–5 feet wide for people, mowers and wheelbarrows.
Double gate
Two leaves that open wide for trailers, boats or equipment.
Driveway gate
Wide openings across a driveway, sized on site.
Arched and custom gates
Arched tops and custom framing, like the two arched gates on our Ballantyne split rail project.
Where should gates go?
Think about how you move through the yard: from the driveway to the backyard, to trash cans, to a shed, and where a mower or trailer needs to get in. Many backyards need one walk gate and one wider gate.
Latches and hardware
Gravity latches are simple and common. Lockable latches add security. Pool gates may need self-closing, self-latching hardware to meet barrier rules.
Materials we install
Every project is built in one of the four fence materials we install. Each one has its own page with styles, heights and colors.
Permits, HOA rules and utilities
Under our Terms & Conditions, permits required by municipalities or counties are handled by Fences & Firepits. HOA approval is the homeowner's responsibility, and we help you prepare the details for your application. Utility locates are requested before posts are set. Private lines such as irrigation, invisible pet fences and low-voltage lighting are not marked by 811, so please tell us about them.
Backed in writing
Installations include a 2-year limited workmanship warranty covering defects in installation workmanship, such as improperly set posts or structural instability caused by installation error. Materials are covered by their manufacturers' warranties. See our Warranty page for the full terms and exclusions.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Still have a question?
Talk with Ron directly. He can answer questions about materials, HOA rules and your property.
CALL (980) 339-2182How wide should my gate be?
Four feet works for people and most push mowers; five feet is more comfortable for riding mowers and wheelbarrows. Double gates of 8–12 feet allow trailers and vehicles.
Are estimates free?
Yes. We visit the property, measure and provide a written estimate at no cost.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Charlotte and surrounding communities in Mecklenburg, Union and Cabarrus counties, including Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Waxhaw, Weddington, Marvin, Wesley Chapel, Indian Trail, Stallings, Monroe, Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis and Mount Pleasant.
Who is responsible for property lines?
The property owner is responsible for identifying property lines. A survey is the most reliable way to confirm them. Our planner and measurements are approximate and do not establish legal boundaries.
