Custom Gates - Arlington, TX
Custom Gates
Driveway and pedestrian gates sized to your entrance. We review the opening, style, swing or slide layout and installation before fabricating your steel gate.

We design each gate around your opening and slope. Swing gates suit lots with room to open; sliding gates fit narrow, steep or shared drives. Horizontal-slat, ornamental steel or wood-and-metal, single or double.
Steel and Finishes
We build in steel, then finish for Texas: matte black, bronze, raw sealed steel or powder coat. Galvanizing before powder coat adds the most rust protection. We will recommend what fits your gate and budget.
Built for Texas weather
DFW sun, heat and high winds are hard on a gate. We size the steel, weld it solid and choose finishes that resist fading and rust, so it swings or slides true for years.
Build and Install
We start with a site visit and measurements, then design, weld and install the gate ourselves. Want it automated? We plan for it from the start, with UL 325 safety devices and a licensed electrician for the hookup.

Common questions
What do custom gates run in the DFW area?
It depends on size, material, style and automation. Manual driveway gates in DFW often run roughly $1,500 to $5,000; motorized gates with an operator commonly run $7,000 to $15,000 or more. These are market ranges, not a CJM price. Contact us for an exact quote.Full answer →
Should I choose a swing gate or a sliding gate?
It depends on your driveway. Swing gates need clear room for the panels to open. Sliding gates run along the fence line and suit narrow lots, steep drives or shared driveways. We will look at your site and recommend the right one.
Does a gate or fence need a permit in Arlington?
Often yes. Arlington regulates fences and gates, and many projects need a permit, with height limits and stricter front-yard rules. Motorized work can add requirements. Confirm with the City of Arlington Planning and Development Services before you build.Full answer →
