Driveway Gates

At Red Deer Welding, one of our favorite items to design and fabricate are custom metal driveway gates. These gates have multiple functions – privacy, security, protection are probably the most important benefits provided. We can also match styles of any metal fence you may currently have, or want to install in the future.

Many of our customers live rurally and want that extra layer of security these days. It’s easier to sleep with at night, knowing that a stranger can’t just drive up to your house when you and your family are the most vulnerable.

When you’ve made the decision to invest in a driveway gate, the next step is to give us a call and let us begin the process of providing you with the best possible solution for your specific location and requirements.

The first step is to send out our estimator who will survey the entrance to your property, take some photos and measurements, ask you a series of questions to clearly understand what it is you want versus what you need and what is required in order to achieve your vision.

Certainly, one of the key questions is whether your interest is in automatic driveway gates or manual driveway gates. Space can be a big determiner here. If you’re clear with your vision of what you want, we can talk about various driveway gates ideas that may be suitable for you. One thing to be aware of that we don’t manufacture wooden driveway gates.

Once back at the fab shop, our team reviews all the details and information collected. The design team goes to work and produces a rendering of the gate. We’ll submit that drawing to you for your approval. If required, we’ll make tweaks to the design based on your feedback. Once you’ve given us the go ahead to manufacture the design, then our metal fabrication team goes to work and begins the process of turning the drawing into a 3D object.

Another consideration is for electric driveway gates is the mechanism for opening and closing of the gate. This can add weight and stress to the metal, and must be a consideration when fabricating.

The length of time it takes to complete the work will be dependant on the size and scope the gate, as well as the finish chosen for the metal. For example, powder coating can take up to a couple of weeks to be effective as a finish.

Once all is said and done, the mobile welders and installers deliver the finished product to the location, install and test it, get your final approval and then are on their way.
