Gate installation in Combee Settlement usually means one thing: a new driveway, livestock, or privacy gate on a long rural-style lot where the ground shifts and the old posts have given up. Tampa Gate Company installs and services gates across 33801, working on tube-frame, chain-link, and field-style wood gates on post sizes and soil conditions we see all over this part of Polk County. Chain-link and tube-frame gates out here fail differently than ornamental iron does in Lakeland proper: the sandy soil heaves posts after heavy rain, welds rust fast in the wet summers, and gates drag on gravel drives. We quote every job before work starts and we serve the area from our Tampa base. Call (866) 976-0095 for a free estimate on gate installation or repair.
Why Combee Settlement Homes Are Different
Combee Settlement is an unincorporated, low-lying enclave east of Lakeland. Most properties are older detached single-family homes and mobile or manufactured homes dating to the mid-20th century, sitting on larger, partially fenced lots along rural-residential roads. The gates out here aren’t the ornamental iron or HOA-standard gates you’d see inside Lakeland city limits. They’re chain-link, tube-frame, and field-style wood on round or square posts. That changes the repair and installation work. Central Florida’s wet summers, intense sun, and occasional tropical systems rust steel gates at the welds and hinge points quickly. Wood gates swell and sag. The sandy, well-drained soil lets posts loosen or heel after heavy rain, and the unpaved or gravel driveways here cause posts to heave and gates to drag over time. We routinely re-set posts and re-hang gates in Combee Settlement rather than just swapping out hardware. That’s the job: working with the soil and the weather, not against them.

Gate Repair in Combee Settlement
A gate that drags, sags, or won’t latch in Combee Settlement usually has a problem at the post or the hinge, not the panel itself. We work on chain-link, tube-frame, and wood gates across 33801, re-setting posts that have heeled in sandy soil, re-welding rusted joints, and re-hanging panels that have pulled out of square. We diagnose the actual cause rather than just treating the symptom, which means the repair holds longer. Read the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in Combee Settlement page, including what common failures cost.
Electric Gate Repair in Combee Settlement
Electric gates in Combee Settlement take a beating from the same conditions: moisture getting into control boards, sensors misaligned by post movement, operators burned out from dragging gates that keep fighting themselves. We diagnose the motor, board, and safety loop, not just the obvious symptom. LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Mighty Mule systems are the ones we see most often out here. Visit our Electric Gate Repair in Combee Settlement page for a full list of what we fix and what it typically costs.

Gate Installation in Combee Settlement
Most gate installations in Combee Settlement are replacements for aging chain-link or tube-frame gates on posts that have been in the ground since the mid-20th century, and the first thing we do is check whether the posts are still sound. If they’re rusted through at ground level or heeling in the sandy soil, a new gate alone won’t fix the problem. We install the gate and set the posts correctly for this soil and this climate, so it doesn’t drag after the first heavy rain. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll spec a field-style wood or tube-frame gate that matches the rural-residential character of your property. Tampa Gate Company handles the full Gate Installation job from measure to hang, with the price agreed before we start.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate drags on the gravel or grass, won’t close square, or has posts so rotted or rusted that re-hanging isn’t worth the labor.
What it costs in Combee Settlement
Driveway gate installation in Combee Settlement typically runs $1,200 to $4,800 depending on width, material, and whether the posts need to be re-set.
How we do it
We pull the old gate, auger and concrete-set new posts below the frost line for this soil, hang the new gate square, and weld or bolt the hardware so it closes clean.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing a heavy gate by hand multiple times a day, or you want restricted access at the road without leaving the house.
What it costs in Combee Settlement
Automatic gate installation in Combee Settlement typically starts around $2,800 and runs up to $7,500 for the operator, safety sensors, and keypad or remote entry.
How we do it
We mount the operator on a properly set post, wire the control board and safety loop, program the remotes and keypad, and test the full cycle so the gate opens, stops, and reverses correctly.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes too much for a swinging gate, or you don’t have room for the gate to arc open without hitting a fence line or vehicle.
What it costs in Combee Settlement
Sliding gate installation in Combee Settlement typically costs $1,800 to $5,200 for a single-track slide on posts set in sandy soil with proper concrete footers.
How we do it
We set the track and posts level on compacted base, hang the sliding panel, install the rollers and stops, and adjust the travel so it never binds.

Do I need a permit for a gate in Combee Settlement?
In most cases, a new gate on an existing fence line doesn’t require a permit in unincorporated Polk County, but an automatic gate that crosses a county road easement may need verification. We’ll check your specific property before quoting.
How long does a gate installation take in Combee Settlement?
Most residential gate installations here finish in one day if the posts are sound, and two days when posts need to be dug and concrete-set. We’ll give you a written schedule with your estimate.

What Combee Settlement Customers Say
"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
— Adam Lawson"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
— Travis Bennett"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
— Jessica Yang
