WALK GATES · ENNIS
Walk & Pedestrian Gates in Ennis, TX
Walk and pedestrian gates for side yards, front walks and fence lines — hung on posts that stay plumb so the latch still lines up years later. We work across Ennis — Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms, Christian Meadows and the surrounding area.
SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
Side-yard and back-yard gates
The everyday gate between the drive and the back yard, wide enough for the mower and the trash cans.
Front-walk entry gates
Iron or steel gates at the front walk, built to match the fence or the drive gate.
Pedestrian gates beside a drive gate
A walk gate next to an automatic gate so people on foot do not have to run the opener.
Latches and locks that line up
Gravity latches, keyed locks and padlock tabs set where you can reach them from both sides.

Why people call about this.
The latch will not catch
Almost always a leaning post. It needs resetting, not a new latch.
The gate drags on the ground
A walk gate that sags has a frame or a post problem, and it only gets worse.
There is no way through on foot
Opening a 16-foot drive gate to walk to the mailbox wears out the opener.
ENNIS, TX
Walk & Pedestrian Gates in Ennis: what’s different here.
Ennis is a railroad town of about 20,000 people (2020 census) in eastern Ellis County, 35 miles south of Dallas on I-45, founded by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871 and settled heavily by Czech and Slovak families. It is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas and is growing, with new subdivisions on the edge of town and acre-plus homesites out in the county. The City of Ennis code FAQ says fences under 8 feet do not need a permit, but asks owners to call the Inspections Department (972-875-6442) first to confirm setbacks; HOA guidelines still apply in the newer subdivisions, and Texas811 locates are needed before any post holes.
Gates & Operators in Ennis
Out on Ennis acreage the drive gate usually sits at the road with the power up at the house, so it is often a wide double-swing or slide gate sized for a stock trailer or equipment and run by a solar operator, while gates in the newer subdivisions are closer to the house and simpler to wire.
The ground
Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay (the Kachina Prairie preserve in town protects a remnant of it), which swells in a wet spring and cracks open in August, so post depth and concrete matter more than the boards on top.
Homes and lots
Older frame houses on the streets around downtown, newer HOA subdivisions such as Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms and Christian Meadows, and acre-plus homesites off SH-34, US-287 and the county roads toward Lake Bardwell.
