Driveway and Entry Gates

Driveway and Entry Gates in Mount Pleasant

A driveway gate has to do two jobs at once, look right at the front of the house and swing true for years. Richiebranson fabricates single-swing, double-swing, and cantilever slide gates in wrought iron, mild steel, and aluminum, each one cut and welded to the exact opening rather than trimmed from a stock panel. We size the leaf to the span, set the posts, and match the finish to your fence and home.

Why the Fabrication Matters

The most common driveway gate failure is a leaf that starts to drag within a season. That is almost never a metal problem; it is a footing and hinge problem. We set structural steel posts in concrete footings below the frost line and hang the gate on ball-bearing hinges rated for the real weight, so a heavy double gate along Coleman Boulevard swings as easily in year ten as on day one.

Our Process

We measure the opening, the slope of the approach, and the way you use the entrance, then recommend a swing or a cantilever slide based on the site. On a short or sloped driveway a slide gate often wins because it moves along the fence line instead of into the yard. We fabricate the frame, galvanize or prime and powder-coat it, set the posts, and hang and adjust the gate clean, protecting your driveway in the 29464 area while we work.
