Which material suits a high-end Bellevue gate?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-05T13:52:10-07:00Aluminum is light and rust-free, ideal for a smooth automated swing gate; steel gives strength and presence for a wide or security entrance; a wood-infill frame adds warmth without the upkeep of solid wood. We match the material to the design and the daily use of your gate.
Can the gate match my modern fence and the house?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-05T13:51:38-07:00Yes. Because we fabricate the gate and the fence together, we match the profile, proportion, and powder-coat color to your fence and your home, so a modern Bellevue entrance reads as one designed piece rather than separate parts.
Can you fully automate the gate?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-05T13:51:00-07:00Yes. Both swing and slide gates can be automated, and we build and install the automation as part of the job. You can open the gate by remote, keypad code, intercom, a wall button, or a sensor that detects your car. Every automated gate also includes safety sensors that stop it if something is in the way, so it operates safely around family and guests.
Swing or slide gate for a Bellevue driveway?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-05T13:50:19-07:00It depends on the driveway. A swing gate suits a level drive with room for the gate to open in an arc and gives the classic look many Bellevue homes want. A slide gate rolls along the fence line, which is better for a short driveway, a sloped Eastside approach, or a tight lot. We assess your entrance and recommend the option that will operate cleanly for years.
