Custom Gate Installation and Fabrication FAQs for Roxborough Homeowners
Can you match my new gate to my existing fence?
Yes. We custom order or fabricate gates to match most standard fence profiles.
Do you install automatic openers?
Yes. See our Automatic Driveway Gates page for motor and access control details.
How wide should my gate be?
For standard foot traffic, 4ft is ideal. For riding mowers, we recommend a 5ft or double-drive gate.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Roxborough?
Yes, the City of Philadelphia (L and I) requires a zoning permit for all new fence installations. We assist our clients in the application process to ensure your fence is legally compliant.
What is the best fencing for Roxborough's hilly terrain?
For the steep grades common in Roxborough and Manayunk, we recommend our ornamental aluminum or stick-built wood fencing, as they can be precisely racked or contoured to match your yard's unique slope.
