Custom Walk, Driveway & Ranch Gates in Elko, NV
Babb's Fence and Landscape builds and hangs custom gates in Elko, Nevada, from single cedar walk gates to sixteen-foot double driveway gates and tube ranch gates on rock pillars. Every gate is framed, braced, and hung on hardware sized for its weight so it doesn't sag or drag.
A gate is the one part of a fence you use every single day, and it's the first thing that fails on a bad fence job. Sagging, dragging, a latch that won't catch. We build custom gates in the Elko area like they're a separate project, because they are.
We build gates to match any fence we install, and we also replace gates on fences somebody else built.
Custom gates we build in Elko
Cedar walk gates
Framed and braced, matched to the fence, with a latch you can work with one hand.
Double driveway gates
Ten to sixteen feet wide in cedar, vinyl, or steel. Drop rod in the middle, hinges rated for the weight.
Ranch and tube gates
Steel tube or welded wire on pipe posts or gabion rock pillars. Truck and trailer wide.
Round moon gates
A round cedar gate set into a horizontal fence, with custom overhead beams if you want them. Small touch, big difference.

Details that make the difference.
Frame
Diagonal brace running from the bottom hinge side up to the latch side. That's what keeps a gate square.
Posts
Gate posts are the biggest posts on the job, set deepest and often in more concrete.
Hardware
Heavy strap or adjustable hinges, latches that actually close, drop rods on doubles.
Fit
Hung with the right ground clearance for snow and gravel, then adjusted before we leave.
Custom gate questions
Answers for your project in Elko.
Why do gates sag?
Usually an unbraced frame or a gate post that's too small or too shallow. We brace every gate and set gate posts deeper than line posts.
Can you replace just my gate?
Yes. We match the fence style and hang it on new hardware.
Do you install automatic gate openers?
Ask us. We'll tell you what we can do and, if it's outside our scope, who in Elko to call.
How wide should a driveway gate be?
Twelve feet works for most trucks. Go wider if you back a trailer or equipment through it.
What do you have in mind?
A new fence. A better backyard. A project you've been putting off. Let's talk about it.
