Cut list, jig, weld, dress, finish, hang. Keeping all six steps in one place is why a one-off is possible at all — nothing has to be ordered to a standard size, and the people who fabricated it are the people who hang it.

Ornamental work this close to the water is a materials conversation first. What gets drawn has to survive the exposure, which rules some sections and some finishes out before the design starts.

Spray carries further inland than people expect, which is why a finish specified here is not the one specified well away from the water.

Ask before the steel is ordered

Broward is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating is settled by code rather than by preference. What is not settled by code is the local review — Lighthouse Point handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.

I have a sketch, not a drawing.
A sketch is enough to start. We draw it properly and show you the gate on your entrance.
Can you match something that already exists?
Yes — an existing panel, a neighbouring property's detail, or a piece of the house itself.
Structural repair, not a new gate?
We weld on site. Posts, frames, hinges and rails get repaired where they stand.
Can you work from a photograph?
Yes. A photograph of the detail you want matched is usually more useful than a description of it.
