Material and finish get specified for where the gate has to stand.

Steel takes ornamental work and welds hard. Aluminum will not rust and suits long runs. Wrought iron is the traditional answer where the detail matters most. Sun and salt are the design brief in South Florida, so the finish is chosen with the same care as the frame.

Where the driveway meets the sidewalk there is no arc for a swing leaf to travel through. That usually points at a slide or a cantilever, and it is far better to find that out at the measure than on install day.

Older inland streets mix construction from several decades, so two openings on the same block are not necessarily the same problem.

Wind load first, paperwork second

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade in full, which is what decides the frame and the fixings long before anyone picks a finish. Approval is a separate, local question: in Miami it runs through whichever authority has jurisdiction, and where a homeowners' association governs the street its architectural review usually runs alongside it.

Before you call

  • Drawn before it's cut
  • Shop-fabricated
  • Coastal finish
  • On-site measure
  • Slide & cantilever options
Will it actually fit my driveway?
We measure on site and draw the gate on your entrance before anything is cut.
Swing or slide — which one?
Slope, curb space and where you park decide it. We tell you what the driveway allows.
How does it hold up here?
Salt and sun are the design brief in South Florida, so material and finish are specified for the coast.
Can I see it before it's built?
Yes. It gets drawn onto a photograph of your entrance, and the changes happen there rather than in the shop.

Next step

Send a photograph of the entrance and roughly what you want it to do. That is enough to start a real conversation.
