Our home base

Custom Iron Gates in Baton Rouge, LA

Baton Rouge homeowners and business owners can get custom iron gates, automatic openers and iron fencing from a company built on three generations of fence building across South Louisiana. Living beside the Mississippi River means damp air, and damp air keeps ironwork wet long enough for rust to start wherever the paint wears thin. Hurricane and tropical storm winds are the second worry, because a solid swing gate catches a gust like a sail. That is why we size hinges, posts and opener arms for a storm and not just a calm afternoon. The work also has to suit the streets you know. Around LSU and the Garden District, 1920s to 1940s homes look right behind a walk gate and a fence with traditional character. Along the I-10 and I-12 corridors, 1960s to 1980s brick ranch homes often pair a driveway gate with an automatic opener. Gated estate communities call for a custom entrance where the opener, safety sensors and finish are planned as one system. Every gate we install follows UL325 safety standards and the Louisiana State Fire Marshal gate system requirements, and every custom gate is eligible for the Magnolia Service Membership.

Local threats to your gate and ironwork

What Baton Rouge gates and ironwork are up against

  • High humidity and rust on ironwork

    Baton Rouge air stays humid for much of the year, and moisture on iron is all it takes for rust to begin once paint wears through. Latches, hinges and the bottoms of pickets go first. We build with protection in mind, and the Magnolia Service Membership includes an annual paint touch-up.

  • Hurricane and tropical storm winds

    When a tropical system moves toward Baton Rouge, its wind pushes hard on swing gates, hinges, posts and opener arms. A gate that looks fine on a calm day can twist in a gust. We size posts, hinges and gate weight to hold up when the storm arrives.

  • Heavy rain and flooding

    Heavy rain can leave Baton Rouge yards with standing water and fast runoff. That water soaks gate footings, reaches opener electronics and attacks exposed iron. We think about footing, control placement and finish so your gate has a better chance of getting through the wet season.

  • Power outages that affect gate openers

    A storm that knocks out power in Baton Rouge can leave an automatic gate stuck open or closed, which is a real problem when you need to get out or keep your property secure. We plan how your opener will respond to a power loss before we install it.

  • Shifting clay soil

    Clay around Baton Rouge swells when it is wet and shrinks when it is dry. Over time, that movement can lean a post and make a gate sag, drag or refuse to latch. We account for the ground when we set posts and check them during repairs.
