Why Go Custom?
Off-the-shelf gates get the job done, sure, but they rarely make a statement. A custom gate is your chance to create an entryway that feels intentional — one that complements your fence, home, and personality. From size and shape to finish and hardware, every element can be tailored to fit your space and your vision.
Think of it as the difference between wearing a suit off the rack and one that’s been perfectly tailored. Both cover the basics, but only one looks like it was made for you.
Pro Tip
Before finalizing your gate design, consider how it’ll function daily. Do you need space for vehicles? Will kids or pets be using it regularly? A great design balances form and practicality.
Style Options That Stand Out
Custom gates come in endless styles, from modern minimalist to rustic ranch. Some popular directions include:
- Modern Metal: Clean lines and durable finishes for a bold, contemporary look.
- Classic Wood: Warm, timeless, and ideal for traditional or rural settings.
- Hybrid Designs: A mix of materials like steel and wood for both visual contrast and added strength.
- Decorative Details: Add personality with scrollwork, laser-cut panels, or custom paint colors.
Material Matters
Choosing the right material is key to a gate that lasts. Steel offers unmatched strength and weather resistance, while aluminum provides a lightweight, rust-resistant alternative. Wood brings warmth and texture, especially when combined with protective coatings or hybrid framing for longevity. BarrierBoss® gates are engineered for both durability and design flexibility, so you don’t have to sacrifice looks for performance.
Did You Know?
BarrierBoss® gates are handcrafted and made to order, meaning you can match any fence line, slope, or style without compromise. Each gate is precision-built and quality checked before it leaves our shop.
Design Details That Make a Difference
It’s the little things that set a great gate apart. Custom hinges, hidden fasteners, matching posts, and integrated latch systems all add polish and performance. And don’t overlook the finish — whether you prefer matte black, galvanized silver, or a pop of color, a high-quality coating protects your investment from rust and wear.
The right custom gate not only enhances your fence but also gives your property a defined sense of entry — a subtle nod that says, “Yes, this space was designed with intention.”
