The company accels in fence installation. Perfectly straight and well built. Highly recommended for fences. Driveway gates are another subject all together. Superior does NOT build their gates, they use a third-party fabricator that IMO, as an engineer, does not understand overhung loads. They say fences under 12' use 1/8" thick poles for support! This is wrong, maybe a 100 lb. 12' fence but NEVER a 350 lb. 10' fence. These fabricators have NO engineering sense what-so-ever. They built the gate supports flimsy. The poles holding the 10' 350 lb. gates are made of 1/8" aluminum. A 40 MPH gust ripped the self-tapped screws out of the hinges. These poles should have been made out of 1/4" stainless and put in the ground a MIN of 3'. Instead, they put the poles a measly 2 ft. down and only used 6" dia. of cement. A MIN of 12" dia. cement should have been used. They said the wind was an "act of God" and would not warranty the damage. So as an engineer that hand built my own house, I fixed what they should have done under warranty. I installed cross cable ties with turn buckles to hold the weight and eventually will add cement to the bases. See attached pics. A new bolt and nut replaced the ripped-out the self-tap flimsy bolt. The cross ties are made of 1/4" stainless. Do it right or don't do it. That is my motto. I just wish more companies would use this motto instead of do it as fast and cheap as possible to make more profit.
