Estate Entrance Gates in New Orleans, LA
Grand entrance gates that set the tone for an estate, a long drive or a gated property.
In New Orleans, large historic properties in the Garden District deserve an entrance that matches the house, and a plain gate rarely does that job. For a Greek Revival mansion, we design estate entrance gates and matching iron fencing that respect the lines of the building instead of fighting them. We sit down with you, sketch the design, then build and install it. Flooding is a real planning point in a city built on low ground, so we think about where the gate footings and any opener electronics will sit when heavy rain collects. Hurricane season matters just as much. Tall, wide gates catch wind, so the posts, hinges and operators must be sized for that load. Out toward Lake Pontchartrain and the suburbs around Metairie and Covington, longer drives and wooded grounds also call for a dependable opener. We install LiftMaster and Viking operators to UL325 and State Fire Marshal requirements. Your custom entrance is eligible for the Magnolia Service Membership, giving you 2 years of preventative maintenance. When you are ready, call (225) 396-9316 or request a free estimate, and we will walk the property with you.

Choosing the right entrance for a large property
Estate entrances come in many shapes. These are the choices we walk through with you.
A pair of tall gates gives the grand, classic look many estates want. They need strong posts and a well-matched operator to carry the weight.
A slide gate can suit a long, level fence line and keeps the swing area clear. It needs open room beside the entrance.
Masonry pillars add mass and a stately look. Iron posts keep the entrance lighter and open. Either way, the posts carry the gate, so they get close attention.
A standard gate is built to common sizes. A custom estate gate is drawn for your opening and your property, so the whole entrance feels planned.

These are the conditions around New Orleans that affect estate entrance 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 tall gate has a lot of surface for wind to push on. We design the ironwork, hinges and posts to handle those loads.
