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.

One code, many counters

The wind-load requirement in Wilton Manors is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard that governs the whole of Broward. The review that sits on top of it is local, and in a county this dense with planned communities an association's architectural approval is frequently the longer of the two.

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

Nothing is quoted off a photograph alone. The opening gets measured first, and the drawing follows from the measurements.
