What a Ranch Driveway Gate Does for Your Property

• Security: a ranch gate deters intruders and prevents unauthorized access, which matters on ranches with valuable equipment or livestock.
• Privacy: a gate lets you control who enters your property.
• Curb appeal: a custom gate is built to fit the style of your property, in the material, design, and finish you choose.
• Convenience: an automated gate lets you control who enters and exits without being there in person.
• Safety: a gate keeps livestock, children, and pets from wandering off the property.

Ranch Driveway Gate Questions

What sizes do you build ranch driveway gates in?

Any size, down to the inch. The gates on this page range from 12 feet to 24 feet wide, as single or dual swing gates.

Is steel or aluminum better for a ranch gate?

Steel is strong, durable, and less expensive than aluminum, but it is more prone to rust, so our steel gates get a zinc rich primer under two layers of powder coat. Aluminum is lighter, easier to install, and more resistant to corrosion, but it costs more.

Can you put my ranch brand, logo, or name on the gate?

Yes. We plasma cut or laser cut ranch brands, logos, initials, lettering, and silhouettes and build them into the gate or an overhead arch.

Can a ranch driveway gate be automated?

Yes. Several gates on this page run on LA 500 dual swing gate openers, including a solar powered installation in Louisville, Kentucky. Heavier gates such as wrought iron need a larger gate opener.

Do you build ranch gates for customers anywhere in the US?

Yes. Since 2004 we have built gates for hundreds of clients from all across the US. Gates on this page were built for properties in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee. We work with you or your driveway gate contractor.
