About
Custom and Automated Gates for Tacoma Homes
Tacoma pairs fine historic houses with new construction and salt-tinged air off Commencement Bay, so a gate here has to suit the architecture and outlast the coast. From an ornamental driveway gate on a North End home to a modern walk gate, we build for both.
We fabricate custom and ornamental gates in our Kent shop, build prefab horizontal slat gates, and offer vertical gates custom or prefab, in steel, aluminum, or a metal frame with wood infill, with swing or slide automation finished for the marine air.
We build our Tacoma gates in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their gate and access expertise with our fabrication, automation, and period-appropriate finishing.
What We Build
Gate Designs: Custom, Prefab Horizontal Slat, and Vertical
From period ornamental to modern slat, three builds cover Tacoma’s entrances, all automatable.
Custom Fabricated Gates
Custom fabricated gates reproduce period ornamental detail for a craftsman or Victorian entrance, or build a modern driveway gate, matched exactly to the home.
Prefab Horizontal Slat Gates
Prefab horizontal slat gates serve remodels and new builds with a clean, modern entrance that will not corrode near the water.
Vertical Gates, Custom or Prefab
Vertical gates give the traditional upright line, custom fabricated for an exact period match or set as a quality prefab panel for a simpler opening.
Slat Materials
Gate Materials: Aluminum, Steel, or Wood Infill
Salt air makes the gate material a real decision in Tacoma.
Aluminum and Steel Gates
Close to the bay, aluminum’s immunity to rust keeps an automated gate moving; steel, properly finished, carries ornamental detail and strength further inland. Both take coastal powder-coats.
Metal Frame with Wood Infill
A metal frame with real wood infill pairs a true-running frame with natural boards, giving a period entrance genuine wood warmth on a gate that stays square in the coastal damp.
Privacy Levels
Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open Gates
Infill spacing decides whether a gate reads as a wall or a period-appropriate line.
Privacy
Solid or tight infill gives a North End driveway or garden gate full seclusion from the sidewalk.
Semi Privacy
A fine gap keeps a corner-lot entrance private without turning the gate into a wall on a historic street.
Open & Architectural
Open, ornamental spacing frames the entrance in a rhythm that suits the neighborhood’s period character.
Automation
Automated Swing and Slide Gates in Tacoma
Both driveway gate types can be automated, finished for the marine air. We build and install the automation, then set it to open by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a sensor that reads your vehicle.
Swing Gates
Swing gates hinge open like a door for the classic, period-appropriate look, best on a level drive with room to arc.
Slide Gates
Slide gates roll to the side along the fence line, the answer for a short Tacoma lot or a sloped approach.
Every automated gate includes safety sensors that stop and reverse it if something is in the path, and we can add a keypad, intercom, or remote so guests and deliveries get in without leaving the porch.
Laser Cut Panels
Custom Laser Cut Panels for Tacoma Gates
We laser cut custom metal panels into gates, so a Tacoma entrance can carry a period pattern or a house number. The panels build into both custom and prefab gates, and this work is done in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro.

Working With Tacoma HOAs and New Construction
Tacoma’s newer townhome rows and communities toward the West End and University Place often carry HOA gate standards. We package drawings and samples so the association’s review moves quickly.
On a new build or major remodel we coordinate the gate and its automation with your contractor, matched in tone to the house and ready with the rest of the exterior.
