Yes. You can mount a gate to a vinyl arbor. You can find gates here that can be used with our
New England Arbors. They fit the arbors perfectly and are available in two widths.
We also sell vinyl gate kits. These kits can be made to fit the opening size of any arbor. You will want the gate to be 1-3/4" smaller than the inside opening of your arbor to allow the space needed for the hinges and latch included with the gate kit. You also will want to install your arbor in a way that it can hold up to the slamming of a gate. The kits consist of the gate uprights, diagonal brace, hinges and latch. A fence section will have to be ordered to complete the gate. You can find these kits by choosing a fence style you want to match, follow links to prices and choose "gate kit" from the price list. While you're there, don't forget the fence section. Our vinyl fence section can be found here: http://www.hooverfence.com/vinyl_fence/index.htm .
