When people think about vinyl fencing, they usually picture straight expanses of shiny white panels. But vinyl can be a lot of things beyond that. From finishes that mimic wood grain to styles like ranch rail, your clients’ next vinyl fence can tick all of their practical and aesthetic boxes.
Gates are the most looked at part of your fence, as they are simultaneously the entry point and security barrier of the property. Being able to sell your customers a custom vinyl gate will set you apart from other fence contractors. Vinyl Craft can build you custom made gates that not only fill the size of the opening, but can fit your customers’ security and visual needs.
Vinyl gate customization = attention
Fence panels are one thing. Gates are another. Panels tend to fade into one another and the background. But the gate is something the home or business owner will touch each time they enter and leave the perimeter. Customizing this component gives you a way to take their vinyl fence to the next level.
To identify the right level of customization, start by understanding the client’s practical needs. Maybe they want a gate to make their pool or pets safer. Maybe it’s important to them that the gate works for their privacy concerns or agricultural uses. These guidelines will help you determine the type and size of gate that works best for the project.
Then, you can collaborate with our team. With custom fabrication capabilities in-house, we can help you create the right gate for your client.
Additional ways to customize your client’s gates
When ordering a gate-in-a-box from their local home improvement store, homeowners have no other option but to buy that premade gate in that one style and one size. But when ordering custom gates from Vinyl Craft, the gate can be whatever the customer needs it to be. Beyond the size, shape, and style of the gate, you can add additional accessories for added flair and function.
Customers can make their custom gate more sturdy by adding thicker uprights, an exterior or interior frame for reinforcement, and upgraded hardware that includes everything from mini hinges to heavy duty self-closing hinges, and latches with key locks or color options.
Customers can add a picket accent or a lattice accent to their vinyl gates to show off their style or even be creative and design a gate that uses different colored vinyl fence profiles for a unique gate that no one else has… if they want their neighbors to be jealous.
