If fences are about boundaries, gates are about trust.

Gates are the most used and most stressed part of any fencing system. In Utah, they are also the first place problems show up.

Why gates fail first

Gates move. Movement introduces wear. Temperature changes affect alignment. Snow buildup adds weight. Wind catches wide surfaces.

Poorly designed gates sag, drag, and stop latching properly. This creates frustration and security issues.

How Western Fence Company builds reliable gates

At Western Fence Company, gates are treated as engineered components, not accessories.

We focus on:
• Reinforced frames
• Heavy duty hinges
• Proper post anchoring
• Weight distribution
• Adjustability over time

Under CEO Jason McLaughlan, gate performance is a priority because a fence is only as strong as its gate.

When a gate works, everything works

A well built gate opens smoothly, closes securely, and stays aligned year after year. That is how you know a fence was built with care.
