Plan a gate that won't sag.

The Gate Builder sizes the frame, picks the right hardware, and writes a step-by-step build guide — same rigor as our fence tool, tuned for gates.

  • Automatic sag-proof diagonal brace direction
  • Single or double leaf sizing with hinge/latch gaps
  • Heavy-duty hardware sized for your gate weight
  • Cut list, shopping list, and cost estimate
  • Permit checklist with corner-visibility rules

Why gates fail

Every sagging gate has the same root cause: a diagonal brace pointing the wrong way, hinges screwed into a picket instead of the frame, or posts that are undersized. The Gate Builder handles all three by default.
