We know Reedley’s gates. The east side subdivisions off Manning Avenue with stucco homes and vinyl gates, the historic Craftsman bungalows near downtown with original ironwork, the orchard properties along East Olson and South Buttonwillow with pipe-and-chain-link entries that take a beating during peach and plum harvest. This page covers what a gate installation actually costs here, what makes Reedley soil different, and what our crew does differently when they set foot on your property.

Styles & brands we work with
Automatic Gate Installation in Reedley
Automatic Gate Installation in Reedley means pairing a gate with an operator that will survive San Joaquin Valley summers and orchard dust. The operator is the brain; the gate is the muscle. We set both up so they work together when the temperature hits 102° and when harvest traffic opens and closes the gate forty times a day.
A typical automated single swing gate in Reedley runs $3,800 to $6,400 including operator, safety photocells, and two remotes. A slide gate adds track work and typically lands between $4,900 and $9,500 depending on gate length. If you’re wiring into an existing keypad or adding a loop detector for exiting vehicles, we quote that as a line item, not a surprise later.
Operators Matched to Reedley Conditions
We stock and install Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls operators, and our technicians are factory-trained on all three. For orchard entries with constant dust and heavy use, we lean toward Viking or Linear models with sealed gearboxes. For residential swing gates on solar power, Ghost Controls offers the low draw that matters on a cloudy winter week.
Safety Systems We Won’t Skip
Every automated gate gets safety photocells. On a shared driveway or any gate that could close on a kid, a dog, or a slow-moving tractor, this is not optional. We also add a manual release so you can open the gate by hand during a power outage, which happens often enough in Reedley’s wind season that we mention it upfront.
Gate Installation Services in Reedley
Gate Installation Services in Reedley cover everything from a new pedestrian gate beside a downtown bungalow to a 16-foot automated slide gate at a ranch entry. The job starts with your driveway, your soil, and how you actually use the gate, not with a catalog photo.
We frame and hang the gate, set the posts, mount the operator if you’re adding one, and wire any keypad or intercom. We also haul away the old gate and post concrete. For a standard single swing gate on an existing solid post, expect $2,800 to $4,200. A double gate for a wider driveway lands between $4,600 and $8,200 because two leaves, two post sets, and two hinge systems all need to meet in the middle.
Slide Gates for Tight Reedley Driveways
Downtown Reedley lots and older homes along G Street and F Street often have narrow drives with no room for a swinging gate’s backswing. In those cases we install a cantilever slide gate that travels parallel to the fence line instead of arcing into the driveway. The track spec matters: we use steel track with hardened rollers because clay soil shifting can ruin a cheap aluminum rail within two seasons.
Double Gates and Orchard Entries
Double gates on farm roads around Reedley take more abuse than almost any other gate in the county. We reinforce hinge posts with concrete below the clay line and add gate wheels on wide leaves so the hinge isn’t carrying the entire weight every time a flatbed truck pulls through. If you’re replacing a pipe-and-chain orchard gate, we carry tension bars and wheels on the truck because harvest season doesn’t wait.

Trusted Brands We Service in Reedley
Our Reedley customers own gates and openers from a handful of brands, and we’re factory-trained on the ones that matter here: Linear, BFT, Viking, and Ghost Controls. We keep common parts for these brands stocked locally so a blown control board or a failed limit switch doesn’t mean waiting a week for a part to ship. When you call for a repair on a Linear swing gate operator or a Viking slide gate motor, the odds are good we have the part on the truck that same visit.

AfterCommon Gate Installation Problems We See in Reedley Homes
- Post lean from expansive clay. Reedley’s clay soil drinks winter rain and shrinks in summer heat. Shallow footings let hinge posts tilt, and within a season the gate drags on the driveway. We dig below the clay line and set posts in reinforced concrete so this doesn’t happen.
- Shared driveway conflicts. Two homes on one gate off East Olson Avenue or South Buttonwillow often end up with mismatched openers or no keypad. We install keypad entry and loop detectors so both households get in and out without backing up into the road.
- Restricted working space. Historic downtown lots leave no room for a backswing. Contractors who force a swing gate anyway, or skip a proper slide track, leave the rack and pinion wearing out early. We measure the actual space and build what fits.
- Warped wooden gates. Reedley’s hot, dry summers pull moisture out of wood gates, then foggy winters push it back in. The gate warps and the latch no longer lines up. We source cedar and redwood that handle these swings better than pine boards from a box store.

FAQs About Gate Installation in Reedley
The problem is almost always the footing, not the gate. Reedley’s expansive clay soil swells when winter rain saturates it and shrinks during the dry months. If your installer set hinge posts in shallow concrete above the clay line, the posts heave and tilt, and the gate starts dragging. We set post footings below the clay line, typically 36 to 42 inches deep, and we reinforce with wider concrete at the base. That’s the fix. Call (559) 785-2501 and we’ll look at your existing posts and tell you straight whether a footing repair saves your gate or whether you need a new install.
Usually not, and that’s true for most shared driveways along G Street, F Street, and the narrow lots near Reedley High. A swing gate needs backswing room that shared rights-of-way simply don’t have. The better move is a slide gate that travels parallel to the fence line. On a shared driveway off East Olson Avenue, we installed a slide gate with a LiftMaster operator because a swing gate would have blocked the narrow right-of-way. We set the footings below the clay line, added a loop detector for exiting ranch traffic, and wired a safety photocell so the gate wouldn’t close on slow-moving farm equipment. If you’re in that situation, call (559) 785-2501 and we’ll measure the actual right-of-way before recommending anything.
A sealed-gearbox operator from Viking or Linear handles both better than cheaper open-gear units. Orchard dust gets into everything that’s exposed; sealed units keep it out. For heat, look for an operator with a thermal shutoff rating above 140°F and a continuous-duty motor if the gate cycles more than 20 times a day. We stock both brands and install them on Reedley orchard entries regularly. Call (559) 785-2501 and we’ll match the operator to your gate’s weight, length, and daily cycle count.
For most orchard property line gates on private farm roads, no permit is required to replace an existing gate with one of the same type. If you’re adding a new gate where none existed, changing a driveway’s width, or installing an automated gate along a county road, Fresno County may require a right-of-way review. We can tell you what applies to your specific parcel and we never install a gate that needs a permit without one. Call (559) 785-2501 and describe what you’re replacing and where; we’ll give you a straight answer.
Yes. Solar-powered operators are common on Reedley orchard and ranch entries where running conduit to the gate would cost more than the gate itself. We install Ghost Controls and Viking solar packages with battery backup, sized for your gate’s weight and how many cycles it makes on a harvest day. A solar slide gate setup typically runs $5,600 to $9,800 depending on gate length and battery capacity. Call (559) 785-2501 and we’ll calculate your panel and battery needs from your actual usage, not a guess.
