Project Overview

This cedar gate installation project in Arlington, TX covered a focused 20 linear feet of new fencing at a 6-foot
height, built in a side-by-side board style to match the existing fence line. The scope called for removing the old
section, reusing existing posts wherever possible, and adding only one new post where needed. A new
wood-framed gate was installed as the centerpiece of the project, giving the property a reliable new access point.
Because most of the existing posts were still sound, this project avoided the cost and disruption of a full-perimeter
fence replacement while still delivering a new gate and matching fence section. Free haul-away of the removed
materials and job-site debris was included.

Materials and Construction Process Behind This Cedar Gate Installation

This project used 1x6, 6-foot cedar pickets arranged side by side, supported by 2x4 pressure-treated rails and a
2x6 pressure-treated baseboard along the new section. The one new post required was a heavy-gauge metal post
set in concrete, matched to the existing post spacing along the fence line. The new gate was built with a wood
frame, a 3 to 4-foot width, and new hardware for smooth, reliable operation.
This approach — reusing sound existing posts and replacing only what's needed — is a practical, cost-effective
option for homeowners who need a new gate or a short fence-run repair without rebuilding an entire fence line.

Why Arlington, TX Homeowners Choose A&O Texas Solutions for Gate and Fence Repairs

Arlington's hot summers, heavy clay soils, and occasional storms put real demands on any wood fence, and gates
in particular tend to see the most wear from daily use. A new cedar gate installed with a properly framed,
pressure-treated structure is designed to stand up to those conditions far better than an aging, worn gate.
Homeowners across Arlington and the surrounding DFW communities choose a focused cedar gate installation
like this one when they want to:
• Add or replace a gate without rebuilding the entire fence
• Save on cost by reusing existing posts that are still sound
• Match a new fence section seamlessly to the existing fence line
• Get long-term stability from a properly set new post where needed
• Complete a focused gate and fence-section project on a short timeline
Because cedar is a natural material, some variation in grain and tone is normal, but the combination of
pressure-treated framing, a matched baseboard, and a properly hung gate gives this fence section a strong,
cohesive look alongside the existing fence.

Project Timeline and Results

By the end of this cedar gate installation, the homeowner in Arlington, TX had a brand-new gate and a matching
20-foot, 6-foot-tall cedar fence section, backed by A&O Texas Solutions' 2-year labor warranty. The project reused
the existing posts wherever possible, with free debris haul-away included, leaving the property clean and the new
gate ready to use.
This project is a great example of what a focused cedar gate installation can deliver: a functional new access point
and a matching fence section, completed without the cost of a full-perimeter rebuild.
