Driveway Gates in Baton Rouge, LA
Custom iron driveway gates designed for security, curb appeal and daily use.
Driveways in Baton Rouge range from the long, curving drives near the Country Club of Louisiana to short brick-edged lots a few blocks from LSU, and a custom driveway gate has to fit yours. Wind is the first test. When a tropical storm pushes through, a swing gate takes the full gust, so we plan the hinges, posts and gate weight to hold up under it. Shifting clay soil is the second test. Clay swells when the rain stays and shrinks when the sun comes back, and a post that leans makes a gate drag across the pavement. We set posts with that movement in mind. Many 1960s to 1980s brick ranch homes already have a wide, settled driveway, which makes them a natural match for a gate with an automatic opener. We prefer LiftMaster and Viking operators, and each system is installed to UL325 safety standards and the Louisiana State Fire Marshal gate system requirements. Your new gate is also eligible for the Magnolia Service Membership, which adds 2 years of preventative maintenance. Dial (225) 396-9316 any Monday through Friday during office hours, and we will set a time to look at your driveway in person.

Our process
How Your Driveway Gates Project Gets Built, Step by Step
Consult on your drive

Swing driveway gates or slide driveway gates
The right style depends on your drive, not on a trend. Here is how we help you think it through during your estimate.
Swing gates open like a door and show off the ironwork well. They need clear room for the leaves to travel, so a sloped or short drive can rule them out.
Slide gates move along the fence line and work where space in front of the gate is tight. They need room beside the opening for the gate to roll back.
A single leaf suits a narrow opening. A double leaf splits the weight between two posts and gives a more classic look on a wide drive.
A ready-made gate is sized for an average opening. A custom gate is built for yours, with the opener and finish planned in from the start.
Local conditions in Baton Rouge
How Baton Rouge Weather and Soil Shape Your Driveway Gates
These are the conditions around Baton Rouge that affect driveway gates, and how we build for them.
High humidity and rust on ironwork
Humid air keeps moisture on iron, so bubbling paint and rust start wherever the finish wears through.
How we build for it: Iron rusts when the finish wears through and moisture reaches the metal. We plan the finish with the design, and your yearly Magnolia paint touch-up helps keep it sealed.
Hurricane and tropical storm winds
Tropical systems push hard wind against swing gates, hinges, posts and opener arms.
How we build for it: A solid gate catches wind like a sail. We design the ironwork, hinges and posts with wind loads in mind.
Shifting clay soil
Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which can lean posts and make a gate sag or drag.

The age and style of a Baton Rouge home change which gate, fence or opener fits the property.

Established driveways and yards suit a driveway gate with an automatic opener or a wrought iron fence along the boundary.
Driveway Gates is a good fit for this style.
