Proudly serving New Orleans, LA
New Orleans asks a lot of its ironwork, from the French Quarter iron balconies to the fenced lots of Uptown and Lakeview. Iron Gates of Louisiana designs custom gates, installs automatic openers and supplies iron fencing across the metro area, working from Baton Rouge with three generations of South Louisiana fence building behind us. Hurricane-force wind loads every hinge, post and operator arm here, and humid air carrying a salt influence from the Gulf and Lake Pontchartrain rusts iron wherever paint runs thin. A Creole cottage with a courtyard wants an ornamental walk gate that belongs on its street. A Greek Revival mansion, the kind you picture in the Garden District, wants fencing and an entrance gate that suit the house. Properties along I-10 and near the Mississippi River often need an opener that keeps working through storm season. We have installed automatic gate openers since 1994, and every custom gate is eligible for our Magnolia Service Membership, which gives you 2 years of preventative maintenance. Ask for a free estimate and we will come assess your gate, fence or opener, then explain what it needs in plain words.
Local threats to your gate and ironwork
Hurricane-force wind puts heavy load on gates, hinges, posts and operator arms across the New Orleans metro area. A swinging gate leaf acts like a sail. We build frames, hinges and posts to carry that force, and we match each operator to the gate it must move.

See Gate Opener Repair in New OrleansHumid air with a salt influence from the Gulf and Lake Pontchartrain speeds up rust on New Orleans iron wherever paint is thin or chipped. Rust begins when moisture reaches bare metal. We stress sound finishes, sealed joints and the annual touch-up that Magnolia care includes.

Narrow lots and street-front fences on historic shotgun homes suit iron walk gates and traditional iron fencing that fits the block. We measure the opening you actually have and design gates that look right from the sidewalk.

Courtyard and street entrances on Creole cottages suit ornamental iron gates, and original ironwork is often worth restoring. We assess what you have, explain what can be saved, and design new pieces that echo the French Quarter style.

Large Greek Revival properties call for iron fencing and entrance gates in keeping with the house, such as those you see around the Garden District. We design matching pieces and restore original ironwork with care.
