Overview
About the Cedar Dog-Ear Double Swing Gate
A cedar dog-ear double swing driveway gate uses cedar pickets with the traditional dog-ear top cut — a diagonal cut at both top corners creating a distinctive notched profile — set in a double-panel swing gate frame. Dog-ear is the most common residential fence picket style in Texas, and matching it to driveway gate panels creates perfect visual continuity across the property boundary.
The double swing configuration provides maximum driveway opening width from two panels hinged on opposite posts. Cedar dog-ear driveway gates are the standard configuration for matching cedar privacy fences on Houston residential properties — the gate uses identical pickets to the fence, creating an integrated appearance where the gate disappears into the fence line rather than standing out as a separate structure.
Materials & Construction
Gate frames are 2×4 cedar rails with 4×4 cedar post sleeves. Dog-ear cedar pickets (1×6 standard) are face-screwed to the frame with stainless screws. Cross-brace on each panel prevents sag. Posts are 4-inch or 6-inch pressure-treated pine set in concrete footings. Heavy-duty galvanized hinges. Cane bolt or drop rod between panels when closed.
All Mustang Fencing wood gates are built in our Houston shop using kiln-dried lumber. Posts are 4×4 or 4×6 pressure-treated pine set in concrete footings. Heavy-duty galvanized or stainless hinges prevent rust in Houston's humid climate. We apply a penetrating oil or exterior-grade paint finish standard, with staining and clear-coat available.

Classic Texas Style
The dog-ear profile is the defining picket cut for Texas residential fencing. A cedar dog-ear gate is the most architecturally native gate choice for Houston suburban properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use dog-ear or flat-top pickets for my cedar driveway gate?
Match whatever your fence uses. If your fence has dog-ear pickets, your gate should too. Dog-ear provides a slightly more traditional and informal appearance; flat-top reads as more contemporary and formal.
Can cedar dog-ear gates be stained to match my fence?
Yes — we can pre-stain the gate to match your existing fence stain color, or install unfinished so you can apply matching stain after installation.
What does a cedar dog-ear double swing driveway gate cost in Houston?
Cedar dog-ear double swing driveway gates in Houston typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 installed, depending on width, height, and automation.
