Steel-framed gates with cedar infill — the frame is why they still close. in McAllen and across the Rio Grande Valley.
The gate is the part of a fence that fails. Everything else stands still; the gate moves several times a day, carries its own weight on two hinges, and is the one piece a customer touches. When people tell us their old fence "went bad", nine times out of ten what they mean is the gate stopped closing.
Ours are built on a welded steel frame with cedar fixed to the outside. From the street it looks like a wood gate, because it is one. Inside it is a square steel frame that cannot rack out of shape, which is what wood frames do the first summer they swell and the first winter they dry out.
A gate post carries a load the rest of the fence never sees, so it does not get the same hole. Ours go deeper and take more concrete, because the fastest way to ruin a good gate is to hang it on a post that was set like a fence post.
Wide driveway openings get the same treatment scaled up: a double gate rather than one enormous leaf, or a rolling gate where a swing would foul the slope. If your opening is wide enough that a single gate would be a problem, we will say so at the estimate rather than build it and let you find out.
Width, slope and how much room the gate has to swing — that decides single, double or rolling.
Square steel frame with cross-bracing, sized to the opening rather than cut down from stock.
Deeper posts, more concrete, and hinges rated above the weight they will actually carry.
We hang it, swing it, adjust it and hand it to you closing the way it should.
Every part of the Valley has its own soil, its own wind and its own kind of house.
We come out, measure the line and put the price in writing. No obligation.
