Gate Fabrication & Installation in Fort Worth

Your entry gate sets the tone for every visitor and defines property boundaries with clarity. Whether you prioritize curb appeal, controlled access, or both, a custom gate in wrought iron, steel, or aluminum delivers function that off-the-shelf products can't match. Fort Worth's blend of ranch-style estates and modern developments calls for gate designs as varied as the properties they protect.

Shen Co Metal Works fabricates driveway, entry, and security gates from initial design through final installation, offering manual swing, sliding, and automated operation. Decorative scrollwork complements traditional architecture, while clean geometric lines suit contemporary builds. Automated gates reduce unauthorized access incidents by 60 percent compared to manual-only systems.

The shop also handles gate repairs, realignment for sagging frames, and hardware replacement when hinges, latches, or operators fail. Each installation accounts for Fort Worth soil movement and wind loading to ensure gates operate smoothly year-round.

Fort Worth's expansive clay soils contract during dry spells and swell with rain, shifting post footings and causing gates to bind or drag. Proper footing depth—typically 36 inches or more—and reinforced post sleeves counteract ground movement, keeping gates aligned through seasonal cycles.

Wind gusts exceeding 40 miles per hour during spring storms place lateral stress on gate panels, especially tall privacy designs. Wind load calculations determine required frame thickness and hinge count to prevent warping and hinge failure. You avoid callbacks and re-hangs when fabrication incorporates local weather data from the start.

For properties near the Cultural District or along White Settlement Road, the team coordinates installation around existing fencing, utility lines, and HOA design guidelines. Automated systems receive weatherproof enclosures and surge protection to handle Texas electrical storms.
