CEDAR GATE INSTALLATION IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs cedar gates for homeowners across Oregon & Washington. Cedar gates create durable access points within a fence line while maintaining the natural appearance of wood fencing.
Cedar is often selected for gates because it pairs naturally with cedar fence systems used for backyard privacy, property boundaries, and garden spaces. When properly framed and installed, a cedar gate operates smoothly while fitting seamlessly into the surrounding fence.
These gates are commonly used for side yard entrances, backyard access points, garden gates, and other areas where controlled entry is needed.

What Makes Cedar Gates Different
Cedar gates are built using the same materials and construction approach as the surrounding fence, allowing them to blend in visually while maintaining reliable function.
Natural Wood Appearance
Cedar provides a warm tone and visible grain that matches the look of cedar fencing and complements outdoor spaces.
Built to Match the Fence System
Using the same boards and framing style helps the gate align with the layout and appearance of the fence.
Durable Outdoor Performance
Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects, which supports long-term performance in outdoor environments like Oregon & Washington.
Common for Residential Access Points
These gates are typically used for pedestrian access, including side yards, backyard entry points, and garden pathways.
Rick’s installs cedar gates with attention to framing support, hinge placement, and latch alignment so the gate operates smoothly over time
Cedar Gate Design Considerations
Several factors influence how a cedar gate is sized, built, and installed within a fence system. These details play an important role in how the gate functions day to day.
Gate Width and Access
Gate width is based on how the opening will be used, with most cedar gates designed for pedestrian access such as walkways and side yards.
Structural Framing
Proper framing helps prevent sagging and supports the long-term stability of the gate.
Hardware and Operation
Hinges, latches, and support posts determine how the gate opens, closes, and aligns within the fence.
Planning Cedar Gate Installation
Planning a cedar gate installation begins with reviewing the fence layout and determining where an access point is needed. During planning, several factors are typically considered:
- Width of the gate opening
- Location within the fence line
- Structural support for the gate posts
- Hardware placement and operation
Careful planning helps make certain the cedar gate integrates naturally with the surrounding fence.
