Custom Metal Fabrication & Ironwork In Washington, DC

Metal Fence & Driveway Gate

Custom metal fences, driveway gates and protective tree guards that set your boundaries and control who comes onto the property, so your yard looks finished and stays secure.

Secure Boundaries That Open Without a Fight

A chain-link fence that sags, a wooden gate that drags across the driveway, or an open yard where anyone can wander in all show that the property line needs something stronger. Young trees along a sidewalk or parking area face their own threats, from car doors and bike locks to mowers that nick the bark. Metal handles these problems better than most materials because it keeps its shape and resists the pushing, leaning and weather that wear softer fencing down. A custom metal fence, a driveway gate sized to your opening and tree guards around vulnerable trunks give the whole lot a clear, protected edge.

Fencing and gates often fail months after installation, with posts that were not set deep enough and start to lean, or a gate that was never built to carry its own weight and begins to sag. A driveway gate is the hardest piece to get right, since its frame, hinges and posts all have to hold a wide span that opens and closes every day. We plan post spacing, frame bracing and hinge placement around how the gate will actually be used, so it swings or rolls cleanly instead of scraping the ground. Tree guards need similar thought, because one fitted too tight can cut into a growing trunk while one set too loose offers little protection.

From the first sketch of your fence line to the last post set in the ground, at DC Iron & Metal Works the same shop handles design, fabrication and installation. The picket spacing you approved, the gate width you measured and the finish you chose all travel from the drawing to your yard without getting lost between different contractors. We can match a new driveway gate to an existing fence or build the full run, gate and tree guards together so every piece shares the same style. You end up with a perimeter that looks planned as one project, because it was.
