Which type of gate best suits your needs? Today we break down the different gate types and the differences of each. I've got a clear favorite, but I'll rank them for you and talk about why one is better than another. Let's settle it once and for all: single gate vs double-drive gate vs rolling gate vs cantilever gate vs slide gate vs pivot gate.

Well I know I'm about a year late but I would like to answer your question in the video about the welded diagonals in the gate. You said you wanted credentials, so I guess I can go ahead and give you mine, since the age of 15 I've been in construction. I was a field guy that worked my way up. All the way to project management, and became a quality control manager for Army Corps of Engineers special and medical command projects. While I am not an engineer, I have extensive experience working with engineers, negotiating variances creating my own drawings through shop and RFI process approvals and arguing with them at the federal level. That said, while the rigidity of the metal may be enough to compensate for the downward force should you flip the gate over it may not be ideal. You have to consider where the majority of the doward force rest in the gate. In the gate that you pictured that would be from the very top where you close that gate. Those diagonals and their direction might not appear to be significant, but those few extra feet to support far top corners can make a huge difference, that is why that same pattern is repeated throughout the gate as it's cantilevered. I'm sure you already know, especially when it comes to a wooden gate.... But in that metal gated instance, would it work? Yes. The rigidity of the metal could compensate for it. Is it ideal for weight distribution and to bring down the center of gravity toward the lower part of the fastened side? No. The direction the diagonal supports face is something considered all the time in engineering and I'm surprised that there is a debate about it in the fencing world. Each diagonal serves its own purpose, like an upside down V for loads that go directly above... In fact, you can think of it this way if you had to stand on the top corner of that fence where it latches , which way would you want the diagonal to be facing? Anyway good video, I was actually watching you guys's channel because I'm trying to decide on what fence I'm going to install in my house. I was looking for some good options for a wooden privacy fence. You guys are pretty far away from me though. I really enjoyed that no dig fence video and thought that that was an absolutely ingenious idea. I must admit though, I am a little skeptical about the gate areas, just a little...lol... Part of me would still want to put concrete down in those areas. I also love how you guys get those young men out there and teach them, that is so important and there is such a shortage of that today. Anyway, great work, great channel. I've made this comment long enough, any longer and I'd have to write you an email.
As always, wonderful lot of great information, as others have said. Your knowledge of the field and especially gates is enormous. You are truly Florida's Master Gater.
(I apologize, Mark. It was just too easy.)
Great video!
Thanks!
Mark, Mark, Mark… that’s a whole passel of gates. Were I not so interested in gates, I might even have considered it an Exhaustive list of gates.
However, I soldiered through your whole spiel with only two cups of coffee to keep my attention. I timed it so my last sip would be when you revealed your number 1 most favoritest gate.
Imagine, if you will, how surprised I was to find that your Exhaustive list was Incomplete! I almost spewed my mouthful of cold caffeine when you revealed that you favored a “Can’t-Leave-It” Karate Chop contraption as the object of your gate lust!
We’ve had this discussion before… so, I won’t describe a proper Ozark Beauty gate in too much detail. However, I contend that you’d be hard pressed to find anything prettier than a five strand Bob-whar gate. Especially when one end is tied directly to an Osage Orange post & ta-nuther end is tied through holes drilled into a chunk of old well pipe. Pair that with a length of chain, salvaged from an old porch swing, at the Osage Orange post on the latch end… and there ain’t a Charolais heifer in the world that won’t respect it as a thing of beauty!
As to the esthetics… all farm fencers know that you space the wires to align perfectly with the wires on either side. Because, iffen you don’t… you’ll earn the scorn of your well heeled neighbors every time they drive by on their tractors while headin’ for the crick bottom.
And, I’ll let you in on a nuther secret… they ain’t no squabbles about diagonal braces on a five whar fence! Not since they invented those twisty Bob-whar stays. You put one of those every four feet, straight up and down with care to space the whars the same as they is at the fence. No triangles, requiring the advice of Pythagoras, to have one that don’t sag!
So Mark, I’ll cut it off here and let you go… because if you are as Exhausted as I am for talking about gates… you’re likely heading in to perk another cup of caffeinated “GO Juice” so you have the energy to wrestle your favorite gate closed behind you.
PS: a proven advantage of the Ozark Beauty gate is that it won’t hit you in the backside as you leave!!!
Ah! How did we miss that! You're so right! We almost used one of those instead of our pivot gate, but we went with the pivot for some reason. Don't know why. 🤷♂️😆
As always a lot of great information presented very well, I also hate the manual roller gates and people always confuse them for cantilever slide gates. I’m a big fan of the vertical pivot gates those look awesome 💪 have a great dang day

It's actually Mark in this one--but hey!
I always remove the covers from the rollers for cantilever gate rollers.
Freind of mine has a tiltaway gate its pretty nice. I biult the approach pipe...
Seems really excessive to be attached to barb wire tho
I agree with The angle brace in the gate. Shouldn't matter which way they run. However the guy fabbing our gates swears they have to go the way you have it installed
Would you say that a rolling gate with a single wheel and v-track is just as bad as the rolling gate that you mentioned in this video?
No, I'd say a V Track is a decent gate if you live where there isn't snow. 👍🏻
The first Gate can be called a PA Gate , Personal Access Gate ! 🇦🇺
I build my cantilever gates the same way as the aluminum one, the braces go down towards the dividing pipe, in normal circumstances it doesn't matter, but that's how I do it.
Do you guys offer customers financing?
