DIY clients aren’t restricted to certain styles or options – everything we build, source, and incorporate in a full service project can be provided in a DIY order. We still help you determine what you need and how to successfully complete your project.

This is the primary component of any project and can be ordered to the size and style you desire. We will work with you to create a design that works for your space.

Also common referred to as the posts, mounting jambs are the components that are mounted to your house, wall, or other structure. The gate slab hangs between your mounting jambs. Hinges are attached to both the mounting jambs and the gate slab. Latches, locks, and other functional hardware typically interacts with the mounting jambs as well.

Hinges and copper or stainless steel flashing (protection for the top edge of the gate) are the most common functional hardware ordered with DIY gates. We can also supply a wide range of handles and locks including coded and electronic options. Please note that cutting holes in the gate slab for handles and locks is handled by whoever installs the gate at your home.

Often considered part of the gate slab, decorative hardware typically includes speakeasy grills, door knockers, decorative pulls, and clavos (the little black rivets you see on many Mediterranean style gates). Most clients order these direct from Garden Passages, but if you have your own we are happy to help incorporate them into your gate.

Staining and Painting is the least common addition to a DIY order, but we do offer it for clients who are looking for the most complete kit possible. Colors have a way of looking very different depending on the surroundings and the medium (on wood vs on a screen) so we strongly recommend meeting with us at our factory to review color samples if possible. Please note that we cannot stain or paint gates that will be crated for shipping.
