Custom and Automated Metal Gates in Seattle
A gate is the first thing a Seattle property presents to the street, and it has to do two jobs at once: set the tone of the home and control who comes in. From a driveway gate on a steep West Seattle lot to a walk gate on a Capitol Hill townhome, we design and build each one to the property.
From our Kent shop we fabricate fully custom gates, build prefab horizontal slat gates, and set vertical gates in custom or prefab form, in steel, aluminum, or a metal frame with wood infill, and we automate swing or slide gates so they open on their own.
We build our Seattle gates in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, pairing their gate and access experience with the in-house metal fabrication and automation we handle ourselves.
What We Build
Gate Designs: Custom, Prefab Horizontal Slat, and Vertical
Whatever the entrance calls for, one of these three builds fits it, and all can be automated.
Custom Fabricated Gates
Custom fabricated gates are welded to any style you want, ornamental, modern, or a match to an existing fence, for a driveway or a walk gate that is truly one of a kind.
Prefab Horizontal Slat Gates
Prefab horizontal slat gates carry the clean, modern look of a slat fence in an efficient prefab build, a fast route to a contemporary Seattle entrance.
Vertical Gates, Custom or Prefab
Vertical gates run pickets top to bottom in the classic upright line, offered custom fabricated for an exact match or as a quality prefab panel for a straightforward opening.
Slat Materials
Gate Materials: Aluminum, Steel, or Wood Infill
A gate takes more stress than a fence, so the material is chosen for both looks and daily duty.
Aluminum and Steel Gates
Aluminum keeps a gate light and rust-free for easy swing and low upkeep in the Seattle wet, while steel brings the strength a wide driveway gate or a security entrance needs. Both take a durable powder-coat.
Metal Frame with Wood Infill
A metal frame with real wood infill pairs a strong, true-swinging steel or aluminum frame with natural cedar or hardwood boards, the choice when you want genuine wood warmth on a gate that still holds its shape.
Privacy Levels
Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open and Architectural Gates
A gate can screen the entrance completely or simply mark it, set by how the infill is spaced.
Privacy
Solid or tightly spaced infill gives a driveway or courtyard gate full privacy, blocking the view in from the sidewalk or street.
Semi Privacy
A measured gap keeps sightlines mostly screened while letting light through, a balanced look for a front walk gate.
Open & Architectural
Open, ornamental spacing makes the gate an architectural statement that defines the entrance without hiding the home behind it.
Automation
Automated Swing and Slide Gates in Seattle
Both driveway gate types can be fully automated so you never leave the car. We build and install the automation, then set it up to open the way you prefer, by remote, keypad code, intercom, a wall button, or a sensor that reads your vehicle.
Swing Gates
Swing gates hinge open like a door, the classic driveway look, ideal where the drive is fairly level and there is room for the gate to arc open.
Slide Gates
Slide gates roll to the side along the fence line, the answer for a short driveway, a sloped approach, or anywhere a swing gate would not have room to open.
Every automated gate includes safety sensors that stop and reverse it if something is in the way, and we can add entry options like a keypad, intercom, or remote so guests and deliveries get in without trouble.
Laser Cut Panels
Custom Laser Cut Panels for Seattle Gates
We also laser cut custom metal panels into gates, so a Seattle entrance can carry a house number, a monogram, or a one-off pattern. The panels build into both custom fabricated and prefab gates, and this work is done in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro.

Communities and New Builds
Working With Seattle HOAs and New Construction
Many Seattle townhome developments and gated communities have rules on gate height, style, and automation. We provide drawings and finish samples so your gate clears the association’s review without a second round.
On a new build we coordinate the gate and its automation with your builder, running any needed conduit before the driveway is finished so the entrance works from day one.
