Commercial Fencing and Gates

Harrowgate installs project-specified chain link, welded wire, ornamental metal, solid panel, privacy-screened, high-security, equipment-compound, and temporary systems, with pedestrian and vehicle gates. We perform foundations, posts, panels, hardware, operators, protective bollards, electrical and control interfaces, grading, and restoration as one coordinated site package.

Post foundations are sized from fence height and type, post spacing, gate loads, wind exposure, soil, frost action, impact risk, and the engineer’s details. Harrowgate does not apply one generic hole size to every site. We excavate to the issued dimensions, remove loose material, place specified concrete, and hold alignment during cure.

Yes. Harrowgate stages work to preserve required security, emergency routes, deliveries, and worker access. Temporary barriers and controlled openings are coordinated before existing fencing is removed. We sequence locates, foundations, fence erection, gate work, controls, and final tie-ins so the operating boundary remains managed throughout the project.

Gate sag results from inadequate frames, hinges, posts, foundations, supports, or adjustment, and from leaves that are too large for the selected system. Harrowgate verifies the engineered gate assembly, installs reinforced gate posts and foundations, aligns hinges and rollers, sets stops, and tests travel after adjacent pavement and grades are complete.

Yes. Automated gates require coordinated power, controls, access devices, vehicle detection, safety devices, grounding, conduit, drainage, and emergency operation. Harrowgate coordinates the full field interface, confirms approved equipment and Ontario Electrical Safety Code requirements, protects controls from impact, and documents testing before the gate is placed into service.

We review records, obtain valid locates, survey the proposed line, and daylight critical crossings where required before post excavation. When a conflict exists, Harrowgate coordinates an approved offset, foundation change, bridging detail, or route revision with the owner and designer. No field shift is hidden from the final record.

Provide the survey, site plan, fence schedule and details, gate sizes, hardware, security requirements, operator and access-control design, footing details, utility information, finishes, phasing, temporary-security needs, and restoration limits. Harrowgate uses these documents to price the full installation, including civil, concrete, electrical, and commissioning interfaces.

A cantilever gate spans the opening without a ground track, which can suit snow, debris, uneven pavement, and heavy traffic where enough side storage exists. Its posts, rollers, frame, foundation, operator, and deflection require a coordinated design.

Yes. Solid or fabric screening increases wind load and can overload posts, footings, rails, ties, and gates that were designed for open mesh. The existing structure and exposure are reviewed before screening is added.
