Scope of Work & What's Included

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

Driveway entrance survey, turning radius calculation, slope measurement, and Kansas 811 utility clearance
Heavy-wall 6x6 square steel or 4-inch Schedule 40 pipe hinge posts set 42 to 48 inches deep in concrete
Custom single or dual swing gates and cantilever sliding gate systems built with internal diagonal trussing
Heavy-duty greaseable ball-bearing barrel hinges or industrial sealed cantilever roller assemblies
Operator mounting brackets pre-welded for seamless LiftMaster or USAutomatic opener integration
Complete post-installation alignment, latch clearance calibration, and magnetic hardware sweep

Kansas Ground & Weather Considerations

Rural property owners across Coffey County frequently suffer gate failures when heavy single-swing gates sag into driveway gravel, scraping rocks and jamming latches. Light posts set in shallow footings lean inward under gate weight after Kansas winter freeze-thaw cycles. Our driveway gates utilize massive rebar-reinforced concrete footings and adjustable hinges that never sag.

Our Proven Installation & Build Process

1
1. Entrance & Approach Survey: We calculate turning radiuses for farm trucks, delivery vans, and trailers, evaluating grade slope to choose swing vs. slide.
2
2. Deep Structural Footing Boring: Sinking 18-inch diameter holes 42 to 48 inches deep, anchoring heavy steel posts below the frost line.
3
3. Rebar-Reinforced Post Pouring: Setting 6x6 steel posts in high-strength concrete with internal rebar cages, verified plumb with laser levels.
4
4. Gate Fabrication & Hinge Welding: Welding heavy structural gate leaves with anti-sag diagonal trusses and attaching industrial greaseable hinges.
5
5. Latch & Automation Hardware Setup: Installing heavy cane bolts, center stops, magnetic lock brackets, and operator push-pull attachment bars.
6
6. Swing Calibration & Owner Inspection: Balancing gate travel, verifying smooth manual operation, clearing job site, and completing final walkthrough.

Cost Factors & Pricing

Driveway gate investments in East-Central Kansas are determined by entrance width (single 14-foot vs. dual 20-foot spans), gate design (ornamental steel vs. cedar tongue-and-groove infill), swing vs. slide track mechanism, and automated solar operator equipment.

Permits & Utility Locates

Installations adhere to Coffey County road right-of-way setback mandates—ensuring gate entrances are recessed far enough from county roads for vehicles to pull entirely off traffic lanes while opening—and local municipal building codes.

Kansas Communities Served for Driveway Gates

Our Gridley-based crews provide on-site consultations, underground Kansas 811 utility mark coordination, and complete driveway gates 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.

Driveway Gates Questions Answered

Swing gates are cost-effective and provide elegant curb appeal if your driveway has level terrain and ample inward opening clearance. Sliding cantilever gates are superior for uphill driveways, tight turns, or properties exposed to heavy winter snowdrifts where swing gates would push snow.

“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”
