Describe who and what must pass through
A garden entrance used by residents has different demands from a shared walk-through serving staff, carts, or maintenance equipment. Begin by identifying the route and its users. Then compare EONE's Pedestrian Access Gates against that brief rather than choosing solely by the width of the existing fence gap.
Measure the finished opening at several heights and record any out-of-square condition. Distinguish masonry opening, post spacing, leaf size, and usable clear passage. A handle, stop, or hinge arrangement can change the finished result even when the nominal leaf dimension looks correct.
Show the paving and swing together
Provide photographs and a plan of both approaches, with finished ground levels and the proposed swing arc. Sloping paving can interfere with the bottom of a swinging leaf. A stepped fence line does not mean the gate can be stepped in the same way, and a rigid decorative panel should not be forced into a new shape onsite.
Ask the designer and installer to resolve conflicts through approved gate geometry, a different opening arrangement, or appropriate site work. Include drainage, adjacent steps, wall returns, and planting. Check the support posts and foundations for the actual assembly; an existing decorative fence post is not automatically a suitable gate support.
Select hardware for the intended use
- Label hinge side and opening direction from an agreed viewpoint.
- Identify latch and handle models, fixing details, and the space needed for operation.
- Confirm whether a closer, self-closing hinge, lock, or access-control interface is required.
- Show the latch receiver and its relationship to the post or wall.
- Provide a plan for service access and replacement components.
Where accessible passage is required, review the whole approach and hardware arrangement against applicable requirements with the project professional. The Access Board guide covers more than gate width; an attractive handle or a wide opening alone is not evidence of accessibility.
For a pool-barrier application, call it out explicitly at the start. CPSC's guidance recommends gates that open away from the pool and close and latch themselves. The barrier pattern, gaps, hardware, and installation still need local review. Do not retrofit an ordinary garden-gate order into a pool-safety claim after purchase.
Coordinate finish and adjoining work
Request the proposed metal specification and finish system, then compare a physical finish sample with nearby fence panels or a driveway gate. Record color and sheen instead of relying on a screen image. Keep pattern edges and hardware zones visible in the approval drawing.
Define the matched supply package: leaf, posts, hinges, latch, handles, caps, and any approved accessories. Confirm which anchors or mounting items are selected for the actual substrate by the installer. EONE can review custom opening dimensions and interfaces, subject to fabrication and project approval.
Plan arrival and release
Door-to-door or site delivery can be quoted with the agreed scope. State access restrictions, receiving hours, and unloading resources. Installation, crane work, import duties, and all accessories are not automatically included.
Send the opening survey and hardware brief through Request a Quote. Arrange finish, pattern, or hardware checks through Order Samples before approving production.
