Design Considerations and Process
Site Assessment and Measurement
We visit the site to measure, confirm clearances, assess ground slope, and identify installation constraints like driveways or utility lines.
Material Selection and Structural Design
For swing and sliding gates, we calculate hinge loads and track supports. We use appropriate steel sections or aluminum for balance and reduce sag.
Shop Fabrication and Fitment
Gates are often pre-assembled in the shop for accurate welds and alignment. This reduces onsite labor and ensures precise fit.
Installation and Setting
Proper anchoring of posts and setting of concrete footings or piers according to size and local frost or soil conditions.
Why Custom Gates and Fences Matter
Gates and fences serve multiple roles: security, privacy, aesthetics, and property delineation. A well-designed gate improves convenience and security while reflecting property style. Conversely, poorly constructed or inadequately installed fencing can fail prematurely, sag under load, or provide inadequate protection. Professional design and fabrication ensure structural durability, proper mounting, and long-term performance.
Common Gate and Fence Project Examples
- Residence with a decorative driveway gate and matching pedestrian gate: custom scrollwork, powder-coated black finish, and reinforced hinges.
- Ranch property fence: hybrid metal posts and rails with wooden pickets for a traditional look with increased longevity.
- Commercial property perimeter security: high-strength steel fencing with secure sliding gate for vehicle access.
Durability and Finishing
- Priming and powder-coating or primer and paint options protect against rust and weathering.
- Hot-dip galvanizing available for applications requiring maximal corrosion resistance.
- Routine post-installation maintenance recommendations to preserve finish and hardware.
Maintenance and Repair Services
- Gate lubrication, hinge and roller replacement, and realignment.
- Welding repairs for impact damage and reinforcement for high-traffic areas.
- Replace worn hardware and recoat surfaces to extend lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you automate my existing gate?
In many cases, yes. We evaluate gate condition, structure, and clearances to determine automation feasibility. For some setups, reinforcement or retrofitting is required before safe automation.
How do you prevent gate sag?
Proper design includes adequate section sizes, balanced framing, and heavy-duty hinges. For long spans, trusses or torsion elements are included in the gate frame to reduce sag tendency.
What finishes do you offer?
Powder coat is a common durable finish we provide or recommend. We also coordinate hot-dip galvanizing where long-term corrosion protection is required. Paint and primer are also options for budget-conscious projects.
How long does installation take?
Typical residential gate or fence installations can take a few days depending on length and complexity. Larger commercial or custom gates may take longer for fabrication and installation.
