Custom Iron Gates
A well-built gate does more than mark your property line. It welcomes people home, keeps your family safe, and adds a level of craftsmanship you notice every time you pull into the driveway.
Custom Iron Gates Built With Skilled Wrought Iron Fabrication
Bare Ornamental Iron LLC has been designing and building custom iron gates for homes and businesses across the South Puget Sound. Every gate starts as a conversation about how you use your entry, what look fits your property, and how much security you need.
From there, our team handles the wrought iron fabrication in our own shop, shaping and welding each panel by hand rather than pulling from a generic catalog. That means your gate is sized to your opening, styled to your taste, and built to hold up through wet Pacific Northwest winters and dry summer heat alike.
Whether you want a simple swing gate for a garden path or a heavier design for a gated driveway, we bring the same attention to detail to every project, matching your gate to existing railings, fences, or architectural details already on your property.
Gate Styles and Security Features to Choose From
No two properties call for the same gate. Some homeowners want a decorative accent piece for a courtyard entry, while others need a serious barrier to keep an active driveway secure. We build for both ends of that spectrum and everything in between.
Options we regularly work into custom iron gates include:
Residential iron gates for driveways, side yards, and garden entries
Commercial iron gates sized for loading areas, parking lots, and business entrances
Security gates with reinforced hinges, locking hardware, and access control compatibility
Scrollwork, finials, and other ornamental details matched to your home's style
Powder-coated or hand-painted finishes built to resist rust and fading
Dual-swing or slide-gate configurations for wider driveways
Why homeowners trust us
What Sets Our Iron Gate Installation Apart
Local, Hands-On Craftsmanship
We fabricate every gate in-house, so you're working directly with the people who design, weld, and finish your project rather than a middleman ordering from a warehouse.
Built for Puget Sound Weather
Our finishes and materials are chosen to stand up to the rain, salt air, and temperature swings common from Tacoma out to the Key Peninsula, so your gate keeps its look for years.
Custom Fit, Not Off-the-Shelf
Every opening is measured on-site and every gate is built to that exact space, which means smoother operation, better security, and a finished look that off-the-shelf kits can't match.
How it works
Our Custom Iron Gate Process
Getting a new gate shouldn't feel complicated. Here's how a typical project moves from first call to finished installation.
- 01
Consultation and Site Visit
We start by visiting your property to measure the opening, look at surrounding structures, and talk through how you'll use the gate day to day. Bring us a photo of a design you like or an idea sketched on a napkin; either works.
- 02
Design and Drawing
Our team develops a drawing that reflects your style preferences, security needs, and budget, adjusting details until the plan matches what you have in mind.
- 03
Wrought Iron Fabrication
Once the design is approved, we fabricate the gate in our shop, welding each piece by hand and finishing it to resist Pacific Northwest weather.
- 04
Installation and Walkthrough
Our crew installs the gate, tests the hinges, latches, and any hardware, and walks you through how everything operates before we consider the job done.

Common Questions
Custom Iron Gate Questions Answered
01 How much does a custom iron gate cost?
Cost depends on the size of the opening, the complexity of the design, and any hardware or automation you add. We provide a detailed quote after visiting your property so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
02 How long does iron gate installation take?
Most residential projects, from design approval to installation, take a few weeks. Fabrication time varies based on the design's detail and our current shop schedule, which we'll walk you through during your consultation.
03 Can you match a gate to my existing fence or railings?
Yes. We regularly design gates to match existing wrought iron fencing, railings, or other ironwork already on a property, so the finished look feels intentional rather than mismatched.
04 Do you build gates for both homes and businesses?
We build residential iron gates for driveways and entries as well as commercial iron gates for businesses that need durable, secure access points. Each project is designed around its specific use and traffic.
