FAQs
How can I prevent ice damage to my metal fence or gate during winter?
Ice damage often occurs when water seeps into joints and expands. We recommend using galvanized or stainless steel hardware, applying a protective sealant, and ensuring proper drainage around the gate posts. Additionally, automated gates should be checked for ice buildup on tracks or moving parts; we can install heating elements or adjust clearances to minimize freezing.
Do you offer free design assistance for a custom gate?
Yes, in most cases we provide free design advice and assistance. Whether you're automating an existing gate or building a new one, our nearly 30 years of experience allow us to offer tailored solutions—including solar-powered options—without upfront cost for the design consultation.
What types of gate automation do you install for residential properties?
