Anyway, they won't be able to tell you what lumber to purchase. That depends on the size of gate you want to build, so that's something you need to figure out yourself. They will cut dimensional lumber for you, but they charge for the service. They have cedar fence panels that are only 36"(iirc) that are meant to be used as gates, you just need to add a cross brace and hardware. That's likely your best option if the size works.
