Custom Automated Gates for Cle Elum and Suncadia
A gate in the Cle Elum area often marks a long mountain driveway or a ranch entrance, and it has to survive deep frost, spring melt, and cold that a lowland gate never sees. We fabricate on the west side, bring the work over the Pass, and set it to run through all four seasons.
The range covers custom gates, prefab horizontal slat gates, and vertical gates custom or prefab, in steel, aluminum, or a metal frame with wood infill, with swing or slide automation built for a mountain property.
We carry out our Cle Elum gate work in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their gate and access expertise with the custom fabrication and automation we handle for the mountains.
What We Build
Gate Designs: Custom, Prefab Horizontal Slat, and Vertical
Three builds for a mountain entrance, and all can be automated for a long driveway.
Custom Fabricated Gates
Custom fabricated gates suit a lodge-style or ranch entrance, welded to any design in blackened or rustic steel that ties into the timber and stone.
Prefab Horizontal Slat Gates
Prefab horizontal slat gates bring a clean, modern line to a Suncadia home in an efficient build that balances the surrounding timber.
Vertical Gates, Custom or Prefab
Vertical gates give a sturdy, traditional upright line, custom fabricated for the terrain or set as a quality prefab panel for a simpler opening.
Slat Materials
Gate Materials: Aluminum, Steel, or Wood Infill
At elevation the gate material has to earn its winters as well as its looks.
Aluminum and Steel Gates
Aluminum rides out the snow season without rust and keeps a long gate light for automation; steel brings the muscle a ranch or driveway gate wants. Both are finished for hard winters.
Metal Frame with Wood Infill
A metal frame with real wood infill unites a strong frame with natural timber, the classic mountain gate look, on a frame that stays true through freeze and thaw.
Privacy Levels
Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open Gates
Even in the mountains, infill spacing is a choice between shelter and scenery.
Privacy
Solid or tight infill makes a courtyard or entry gate fully private, even on an open resort lot.
Semi Privacy
A modest gap screens the neighboring cabin while keeping the forest visible through the gate.
Open & Architectural
Open spacing marks a drive or meadow entrance without interrupting the mountain view the property was sited for.
Automation
Automated Swing and Slide Gates for Mountain Driveways
A long mountain driveway is exactly where automation earns its keep, and both swing and slide gates can be automated. We build and install it to open by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a sensor that reads an approaching vehicle.
Swing Gates
Swing gates hinge open with a classic ranch-entrance look, suited to a level stretch of drive with room for the gate to arc.
Slide Gates
Slide gates roll aside along the fence line, a strong choice where a mountain driveway is short, sloped, or drifts with snow at the swing path.
Every automated gate includes safety sensors that stop and reverse it for anything in the path, and we can add a keypad, intercom, or remote so you open the gate from the truck in any weather.
Laser Cut Panels
Custom Laser Cut Panels for Cle Elum Gates
We laser cut custom metal panels into gates, so a Cle Elum entrance can carry a ranch brand, trees, or a mountain scene. The panels build into both custom and prefab gates, and this work is done in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro.

Communities and New Builds
Working With Cle Elum HOAs and New Construction
Suncadia and the resort communities maintain design guidelines for exterior work, and gates are reviewed like everything else. We supply drawings and material samples that fit the resort’s standards and make approval quick.
On new mountain construction we plan the gate and its automation with your builder around site access and season, so installation lands when the ground and the schedule allow.

Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Could not be more thrilled with the work Custom Railings did. Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel to Suncadia and the surrounding area?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T11:32:02-07:00Yes. We serve Cle Elum, Roslyn, South Cle Elum, Suncadia, and the wider Kittitas County area, and we are based in Kent on the west side. We make the trip over the Pass for mountain gate projects, and we assess the ground and access on site before building.
How do gates hold up to Cle Elum winters and freeze-thaw?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T11:31:30-07:00Well, when built for it. Deep frost and freeze-thaw can heave a poorly set post, so we set the gate posts to handle the frost depth, finish the metal for the cold, and protect the automation so it keeps working. Built this way, a gate stays true and operating season after season, including on a home that sits empty through winter.
Can you automate a gate on a long mountain driveway?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T11:31:01-07:00Yes, and it is one of the best places for it. Both swing and slide gates can be automated, and we build and install the automation to run through mountain winters. It opens by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a vehicle sensor, and includes safety sensors that stop the gate if something is in the way.
What kind of gate suits a mountain property in Cle Elum?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T11:30:33-07:00It depends on the entrance. A custom fabricated gate in blackened or rustic steel suits a lodge or ranch look; a slat gate gives a clean modern line at a Suncadia home. For a long driveway, automation is well worth it. We design to the property and the terrain and build all three types, so the recommendation fits your entrance.
