Wet-Mixed Concrete vs. Dry-Set Concrete – Wet mixing concrete ensures proper hardening and is used most often while dry set is is normally poured in the post-hole dry, tamped down, and watered down with a hose.

Gate Construction – To ensure strength, all gates should have a 6” x 6” posts to hinge from. To ensure stability, all gates need 3 hinges to swing from, not just 2 hinges. We also use 4 inch screws to connect our hinges to the 6" x 6" gate posts instead of the standard 2 inch screws which come with the gate kits.
