Driveway Gates in Metairie, LA
Custom iron driveway gates designed for security, curb appeal and daily use.
A driveway gate in Metairie has to handle a lot of weight and a lot of weather. Hurricane-force wind turns a solid swing gate into a sail, so we size the posts, hinges and frame to carry that load before we pick a design. Mid-century ranch homes on the older streets near Lakeside Shopping Center look sharp with a simple arched or flat-top iron gate that frames the front yard. We build and install your gate and pair it with a LiftMaster or Viking operator set up to UL325 safety standards. Ask for a free estimate and we will walk the driveway with you, explain what it needs, and send a clear quote.
What's included
What Your Driveway Gates Estimate Covers
We assess your property on site and give you a clear quote, so you know the work before we start.
Gate design for your drive
We plan the width, the swing or slide, and the look of the ironwork around your drive and your home.
Custom iron fabrication
Your gate is built to your design in iron, not pulled from a catalog and trimmed to size.
Opener planned with the gate
We choose a LiftMaster or Viking operator that suits the weight and style of your gate, then plan the posts and wiring to match.
Safe, code-minded installation
Your gate system is installed to UL325 safety standards and Louisiana State Fire Marshal gate system requirements.
Finish chosen with the design
The finish is part of the plan from the start, so the ironwork is protected as well as good looking.
Magnolia Service Membership
2 years of preventative maintenance, LiftMaster opener protection, an annual paint touch-up and front-of-the-line scheduling.
Our process
How Your Driveway Gates Project Gets Built, Step by Step
Consult on your drive
We visit your property, look at the drive, the posts and the approach, and listen to how you use the entrance.
Design the gate and opener together
We lay out the ironwork, choose the operator and plan the finish as one system, then give you a fair, transparent quote.
Build and install
We fabricate your gate in iron, set it, wire the opener and test the safety sensors. You get an installation schedule before work starts.
Magnolia Care begins
Your Magnolia Service Membership starts once the gate is running, with scheduled maintenance and a touch-up each year.

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 Metairie
How Metairie Weather and Soil Shape Your Driveway Gates
These are the conditions around Metairie that affect driveway gates, and how we build for them.
Hurricanes
Hurricane-force wind puts heavy load on gates, hinges, posts and operator arms across the metro area.
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.
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.
