Driveway Gate Rebuilt and Redesigned After Vehicle Impact
A custom wood-accented steel driveway gate was damaged by a vehicle approximately one year after installation. The owner asked us to rebuild it with a cleaner, all-metal design without wood.

The first gate was fabricated as a black arched steel swing gate with vertical pickets, a custom center emblem, and wood-style lower accent panels. It was fitted to the existing masonry columns and automatic gate system.
Why the gate needed to be rebuilt
After roughly a year of use, the customer accidentally struck the gate with a vehicle. The impact knocked the gate down and bent the structure. Because a damaged frame can affect alignment, hinge loading, operator travel, and safe movement, the correct solution was more than a cosmetic patch.
From damaged gate to redesigned entrance
Inspect and measure
We evaluated the impact damage, opening dimensions, support points, automatic operator setup, and the alignment required for smooth travel.
Fabricate the new design
The replacement kept the arched steel character while removing the wood panels and using a clean vertical-picket layout with a star centerpiece.
Install and test
The new gate was installed, aligned, connected to the operating system, and tested through its travel for reliable opening and closing.
All-metal gate without wood
The finished gate has an open, balanced appearance and durable steel construction. The new design matches the stone columns and property setting while meeting the customer’s request for a gate with no wood accents.
