Scope of Work & What's Included

Our approach to gates & gate openers in Gridley and surrounding counties covers every detail from initial property measurement and underground utility clearance through laser alignment and site cleanup:

Precision driveway and walkway opening measurements, grade clearance checks, and Kansas 811 utility markings
Setting oversized 6x6 timber posts or heavy Schedule 40 steel hinge posts 36 to 42 inches deep in bell-bottom concrete
Welding rigid galvanized steel internal anti-sag gate frames with diagonal turnbuckle truss rods
Mounting premium heavy-duty adjustable multi-directional hinges and greaseable barrel hinges
Installing commercial drop rods, gravity latches, keyed locking deadbolts, and self-closing spring sweeps
Complete swing arc testing, latch tolerance adjustments, and full magnetic job site cleanup

Kansas Ground & Weather Considerations

A sagging, dragging gate is the most common frustration for homeowners and rural property managers across Coffey County. Light 4x4 hinge posts set shallow heave in Kansas freeze-thaw cycles, throwing latches completely out of alignment. Furthermore, unbraced wood frames quickly rack under their own weight or warp in summer humidity, scraping the ground and tearing up sod or gravel. High prairie winds also catch wide double-drive gates, ripping flimsy stamped hinges right out of wood posts. We solve every gate failure with oversized hinge posts, heavy-gauge steel frame kits, diagonal cable turnbuckles, and industrial commercial-grade hardware.

Cost Factors & Pricing

Gate installation costs in Gridley and Burlington depend on clear opening width (single 4-ft walk gate vs. 12-to-20-ft double driveway gate), chosen frame construction (all-wood framed vs. steel anti-sag truss frame), and post requirements (oversized 6x6 timber or Schedule 40 steel). Sloped terrain requiring custom rising hinges, automated opener conduit wiring, and premium locksets also affect final pricing. We provide clear, itemized quotes.

Permits & Utility Locates

Gate installations comply with local municipal setback codes in Burlington, Gridley, and Emporia, ensuring driveway gates open inward onto private property without obstructing public street right-of-ways. Pool safety gate installations strictly adhere to BOCA and ICC standards requiring self-closing, self-latching mechanisms located at least 54 inches above grade. Kansas 811 locates are verified before post boring. Kraft Fencing carries full commercial liability insurance.

Kansas Communities Served for Gates & Gate Openers

Our Gridley-based crews provide on-site consultations, underground Kansas 811 utility mark coordination, and complete gates & gate openers across East-Central Kansas:

Coffey County, KS: Our home county: John Redmond Reservoir, Coffey County Lake (Wolf Creek's cooling lake) and Neosho River bottoms mean many fence lines sit on wet, flood-prone ground.
Burlington, KS: Coffey County seat on the Neosho River just below John Redmond Dam; older homes on low ground near the river need posts set for wet soils.
Yates Center, KS: Woodson County seat with a historic courthouse square; aging homes in town and surrounding cattle pasture mean wood privacy repairs inside town and barbed-wire rebuilds outside.
Lebo, KS: Lebo, just off I-35 in northern Coffey County near Melvern Lake, has commuter homes plus farmsteads where split-rail and chain-link line the highway frontage.
Madison, KS: Madison, at the Greenwood County line west of Gridley, is gateway Flint Hills ranch country where pipe fence, barbed wire and corral work dominate.
Olpe, KS: Olpe, south of Emporia on K-99, is surrounded by row-crop and cattle ground; farmstead pens and livestock lots drive woven-wire and pipe fence work.
LeRoy, KS: LeRoy sits in a Neosho River bend southeast of Gridley; small-town lots back onto cropland, so chain-link and woven-wire pet and garden fences are common.
New Strawn, KS: New Strawn was built after the old Strawn townsite was flooded for John Redmond Reservoir; its newer homes sit near Coffey County Lake and Wolf Creek.
Hartford, KS: Hartford borders the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge at John Redmond's upper end; refuge-edge farms need deer-resistant garden fence and flood-ready posts.
Neosho Rapids, KS: Neosho Rapids sits on the Neosho River between Emporia and Hartford; river-bottom farms see flood debris load fences, so H-braces and steel posts hold up best.

Gates & Gate Openers Questions Answered

For standard pickup trucks and passenger vehicles, a 12-to-14-foot double swing gate provides ample clearance. For large agricultural equipment, combines, dual-wheel trailers, or commercial delivery trucks, we recommend a 16-to-20-foot clear opening with heavy center drop rods to prevent post scraping during wide turns.

“Casey and Roman Kraft did a cedar fence rebuild for my wife and I in December of '25. Our original fence was over 20 years old and in bad need of replacement. Casey came to my house on a Sunday to measure the property and discuss our plans. He got us the bid that evening. His price was extremely competitive and his reviews online were stellar. The days Kraft Fencing committed to build were the 2 rainiest days in December. There were flash flood warnings posted on both of those days and still, Casey and Roman showed up and went to work. I felt bad but they had top notch rain gear and smiles on their faces. They and their crew showed up at 7:30am both days and just got after the job. The craftsmanship is very impressive. They use screws instead of nails, the posts are beefier than the standard 4x4 post, and they use clear cedar in all the wood work except for the posts. The most impressive thing we experiened with Casey and his company was how he and his crew responded to a mistake that was made. He listened to our concern, gave us a few options to rectify the mistake, made sure both my wife and I would be happy with the work around, and then went about his business and made it right (without any additional charge). What a fantastic business he runs and what an ethical guy he is. I give him a 10/10 recommendation if you are looking to get a new fence installed. Brendan H. Great price”
