Magic Metal: Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Denver, CO 80214

In Denver’s winter weather, automatic gates often fail due to frozen moisture in the operator’s gearbox or a tripped limit switch from ice buildup. We first inspect the opener, then clear any ice, reset the switch, and test the motor. If internal parts are damaged, we can repair or replace the operator on-site. For long-term prevention, we recommend weatherproofing the gate components and scheduling seasonal maintenance.

Yes, rust on wrought-iron fences is common in Denver’s dry climate where snow-melt moisture gets trapped in crevices. The solution is to sand or grind the rust back to bare metal, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and then repaint with a high-quality exterior paint we carry. For deeper corrosion, we may weld in a patch section. After repair, we can powder coat the entire fence for a durable, rust-resistant finish that lasts years.

Absolutely. For manual gates in Denver’s urban yards, we recommend either powder-coated steel or aluminum. Steel is stronger but heavier, while aluminum is lighter and won’t rust. We’ll custom-build the gate to your opening size and can match the style of your existing fence. Our installation includes heavy-duty hinges, a latch, and proper grounding at the posts to prevent sagging.
