Fence Companies Detroit installs fences across Mount Clemens, the Macomb County seat, with a historic Victorian downtown. You get a local crew, honest up-front pricing, and a fence built for Michigan: posts set below the 42-inch frost line in concrete, so it stands straight through every freeze-thaw winter instead of leaning by spring.
The part of the fence you touch every day
A fence is only as good as its gate. We build and hang walk gates, double drive gates and custom entries with proper posts, adjustable hardware and bracing that keeps them square. A gate we hang closes with one hand and latches every time, year after year.
Every fence we build is set for Michigan. The frost line here runs about 42 inches deep, so we set posts below it in proper concrete footings. Posts set shallower get gripped by the freeze-thaw cycle in our clay-heavy soil and jacked out of plumb a little more every winter, which is why so many older fences lean. Ours do not.
Gates we build
- Walk gates in wood, vinyl, chain link and aluminum.
- Double drive gates for trailers, boats and backyard access.
- Rolling and cantilever gates for commercial drives.
Gate types and what each is for
Walk gates at 36 to 48 inches handle people, mowers and trash day; go 48 if a wheelbarrow or snowblower lives in the yard. Double drive gates at 8 to 12 feet open the yard to trailers, boats and the occasional concrete truck, and on Detroit's alley-access lots they turn the back of the parcel into real storage. Rolling and cantilever gates serve commercial drives where a swing gate would block the lane or drag through snow. Self-closing hardware is the difference-maker on pool and pet gates: the gate you forgot to latch closes itself.
Whatever the type, the engineering is the same: heavier posts set deeper than the fence line, diagonal bracing that fights the sag, and adjustable hinges so the gate can be trued up for years to come.

Common questions
Why do gates sag?
Weight and leverage. A gate hangs its whole weight on one post, so an undersized post or missing bracing lets it drop out of square. We size gate posts heavier, set them deeper and brace the frame so it stays true.
Can you add a gate to my existing fence?
Yes. We can cut in a new walk gate or drive gate on most existing wood, vinyl, chain link and aluminum fences and match the look of what you have.
