Use this page to sort the common questions before choosing a fence material or requesting an estimate. The best answer usually depends on the property, but the basics below will help you avoid guessing.
Most common fence questions
How much does a fence cost in Savannah GA?
Fence cost depends on linear footage, material, height, gates, site access, grade, and removal needs. The calculator gives a planning range, but the real number comes from an on-site estimate.
What fence materials do you install?
Savannah Gate and Fence Company installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, pool fencing, wrought iron-style fencing, driveway gates, and automatic gate systems.
Do you install automatic driveway gates?
Yes. We install driveway gates, automatic gates, swing gates, sliding gates, operators, keypads, and access-control-ready gate systems.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Savannah?
Permit and HOA requirements depend on the property, fence height, location, pool rules, and neighborhood. We can talk through the likely requirements during the estimate.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Call or use the estimate form to request a free fence or gate estimate around Savannah and the surrounding service areas.
Do you focus on small fence repairs?
No. The site is focused on fence installation, gates, access control, and meaningful replacement projects rather than low-value repair work.
Estimate and pricing questions
What information should I include in a fence estimate request?
Include the service address, fence type if you know it, approximate length, gate needs, whether there is an old fence, and the reason for the project.
Can the fence cost calculator replace an on-site estimate?
No. The calculator is a planning tool. A real estimate needs property details, measurements, material choices, gates, access, grade, and removal needs.
Why do gates change the price so much?
Gates require posts, hardware, alignment, clear openings, and sometimes operators or access control. A fence with several gates can price very differently than a straight run.
Material and layout questions
What is the lowest-maintenance fence material?
Vinyl and aluminum are usually lower-maintenance than wood. Chain link is practical for security and pets, especially when appearance is less important than function.
Can I mix privacy fencing with aluminum or chain link?
Sometimes. A property may use privacy fence near neighbors and aluminum near a pool or view area. The transitions should be planned so the layout looks intentional.
Should I choose a swing gate or sliding gate?
Swing gates work when there is enough room for the gate to open. Sliding gates can be better when swing clearance is limited or the driveway layout calls for it.
