How to Build FenceProfessional DIY & Kits

Modern Horizontal Slat Gates

Horizontal boards with a consistent gap are the modern privacy look, and the one most likely to fail without a steel frame. Ours are built on a welded black steel tube frame so the lines stay dead straight at any width.

How we build it

Horizontal cedar, ipe or composite boards with a consistent gap, mounted to a welded steel frame. The modern-privacy look, and one that genuinely needs a steel frame to stay straight at driveway width.

Matches your custom hybrid fence. Semi-privacy. A heavy infill — we size posts, hinges and any operator for it.

Available as

  • Galvanized Steel Tube Single Swing Gate, Double Swing Gate, Roller Cantilever Slide Gate(quoted)
  • Black Steel Tube Single Swing Gate, Double Swing Gate, Roller Cantilever Slide Gate(quoted)

Swing it or slide it

Single Swing Gate

One leaf on hinges — the simplest gate to build, hang and automate.

Double Swing Gate

Two leaves meeting in the middle — the classic estate driveway entrance.

Roller Cantilever Slide Gate

A steel-tube frame that rolls sideways on nylon rollers mounted to ground posts — nothing on the driveway.

Questions we get about modern horizontal slat gates

Wood or composite?
Cedar and ipe weather to silver unless sealed; composite keeps its colour with no maintenance and is heavier. Both mount the same way to the frame.
Will the gaps stay even?
Yes — the boards are fixed to a rigid steel frame, not to each other, so seasonal movement shows up as tiny changes in each gap rather than a racked gate.
Do you install custom gates near me?
We professionally install in the Wilmington NC area and in Zebulon and the surrounding Raleigh / Triangle region. Outside our install area we deliver the finished gate for your own installer, or hold it for branch pickup.
How do I get a price?
Welded aluminum gates price instantly online. Fabricated steel-frame gates are quoted after we review your opening, height, infill and site details — start the quote builder, and we come back with a firm written estimate you can accept from your customer portal.
