Custom Aluminum Driveway Gates in West Palm Beach, FL
Handcrafted Metal Art Gates for Palm Beach Estates
JDR Metal Art has specialized in custom designed aluminum gates that serve as a signature pieces for Palm Beach properties since 2012.
Our custom gates aren’t just boring barriers; they feature bespoke silhouettes of Florida’s majestic oak and palm trees, horses, deer and other animals, even including family pets.
On the other hand, many local providers offer “cookie-cutter” fence gate panels that do little to increase the security and curb appeal of high-end luxury properties.
Why Choose Marine-Grade Aluminum for Coastal Florida Properties?
In West Palm Beach, the salt air is a constant threat to metalwork. Unlike standard steel which is prone to rusting within weeks, or PVC which can become brittle in the Florida sun, we utilize marine-grade aluminum.
- Corrosion Resistance: Our aluminum contains specific magnesium alloys that prevent “white rust” (oxidation) common in coastal environments.
- Structural Integrity: We use a 3/16″ wall thickness for our heavy duty frame material, ensuring your gate can withstand high-velocity wind zones without warping.
- Weight Advantages: Aluminum is significantly lighter than wrought iron, reducing the wear and tear on your automated gate openers and hinges over time.
The Art of the Silhouette: Custom Wildlife Designs
Our West Palm Beach clients often request designs that reflect the natural beauty of the Everglades and South Florida.
- Detailed Craftsmanship: Each gate features intricate plasma-cut designs including deer, palms, and wetland scenes.
- Precision Engineering: We maintain a professional 1″ center gap between dual swing gates, achieved through our heavy-duty sealed bearing hinges.
- Powder-Coated Longevity: Every gate undergoes a multi-stage cleaning and in-house powder-coating process to ensure a finish that is far tougher than conventional paints could ever hope to be.
Secure and Automated Driveway Solutions
A gate is only as good as its functionality. Our custom designs are fully compatible with modern automated driveway gate systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does a custom aluminum driveway gate cost in West Palm Beach? For 2026, high-end custom aluminum gates typically range from $10,000 to over $25,000 depending on the complexity of the artwork, the width of the driveway, and the automation features selected.
Is aluminum better than steel for Florida coastal homes? Absolutely. While steel is 3x stronger, it is also three times heavier and will quickly rust in the Palm Beach salt air. Marine-grade aluminum provides the perfect balance of strength and natural corrosion resistance.
What is the standard gap between double swing gates? We typically design for a 1″ gap at the center. This provides a clean, professional look while allowing for the natural thermal expansion and contraction of the metal.
Do you provide the gate openers? While we specialize in the fabrication of the gate panels and posts, our designs are engineered to be “automation-ready” for all major brands of swing and sliding gate operators.
Can I customize the wildlife scene on my gate? Yes. Every gate we build is a “draft-to-delivery” project. You can choose from our existing library of Florida wildlife or work with us to create a completely new silhouette.
