Fence Gate Installation in Roanoke, VA
Magnolia Fencing builds and installs gates for homes and businesses across Roanoke and Southwest Virginia — from everyday walk gates to wide double drive gates, custom wood and aluminum entries, and powered operators with keypad access for driveways and commercial sites.
Gates that swing true and latch every time — sized for the way you actually use your yard.
Professional Gates Installation
A gate is the part of your fence you touch every single day, so it has to do more than match — it has to work. We build walk gates for the backyard, wider single gates for the side yard, and double drive gates that open up for vehicles. The detail most people forget is width: a gate has to clear whatever you actually move through it. We ask about your mower, your trailer, and any equipment up front and size the opening so you’re not squeezing through a gap that’s an inch too tight every spring.
Hardware is where a gate lives or dies. We set heavy gates on the right hinges and posts so they don’t sag, drop, or drag after the first season, and we match latches to the job — including self-closing, self-latching hardware for pool gates that has to close and lock on its own every time. We build gates in wood, aluminum, vinyl, and chain-link to tie into whatever fence you have, and we’ve installed custom work like the black aluminum fence with matching custom gates in Montgomery County. For driveways and commercial entrances, we install powered gate operators with keypads, remotes, and access control so you can let people in without leaving the house — and rules on gates near pools or in the right-of-way can vary, so we’ll confirm what your local office expects before we build.

Gates questions, answered
- How wide should my driveway gate be?
- It depends on what’s coming through it. A standard car needs less room than a truck pulling a trailer or a wide mower deck, so we ask what you actually move through the opening before we set the posts. For double drive gates we size each leaf to clear your widest vehicle with room to spare, so you’re never threading the needle.
- Can you add an automatic opener to a new or existing gate?
- Yes. We install powered gate operators with keypads, remotes, and access control for driveways and commercial sites, and we can spec the right operator for the gate’s size and weight. If you already have a gate, we’ll look at the posts and hardware to confirm it can carry an operator before we add one.
- Do pool gates need special hardware?
- They do. Pool barriers generally require gates that close and latch on their own every time, so we install self-closing, self-latching hardware built for that. The exact requirements vary by city, county, and HOA, so we confirm what your local office expects before we build — that way the gate passes inspection the first time.
