THE WAY IN.
THOUGHT
THROUGH.

Picture the path from the driveway, side yard, patio or garden. Note where people naturally enter and which direction a gate could move without obstructing the route.

List the equipment that needs access: a mower, wheelbarrow or larger service equipment. Let actual dimensions guide the opening discussion rather than relying on a standard label.

Flag slopes, landscaping, paving and nearby objects. Ask about clearances and what supports, hardware or site work the proposed gate needs.

Compare latch position, hinges, operation and maintenance. If a pool or other regulated use is involved, ask for a specific review; a matching gate is not automatically a compliant barrier.
