Materials We Work With

Five Premium Materials. One Washington Standard

Every material we use is selected specifically for long-term performance in the Pacific Northwest climate — heavy rain, salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and year-round moisture.

Wrought Iron — Our Signature

Hand-forged ornamental ironwork with powder-coat finishes that resist Washington's moisture and salt air. Each element shaped by hand, giving your gate character that machine fabrication simply cannot replicate. Ideal for estate gates, decorative driveway entries, and historic properties throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Steel

Structural steel gates with clean modern profiles or intricate laser-cut designs. Galvanized and powder-coated for maximum corrosion resistance in Washington's demanding climate.

Western Red Cedar

Naturally rot-resistant and sourced locally in the Pacific Northwest. Weathers to a beautiful silver-gray or can be sealed for long-term color retention. The quintessential Washington material.

Natural Stone & Masonry

Stone columns, pillars, and integrated stone-and-metal designs that add permanent architectural presence. Virtually zero maintenance and ages beautifully in Pacific Northwest conditions.

Mixed Materials

Combinations of metal, wood, stone, and glass for truly one-of-a-kind gate designs. This is where artisan creativity meets engineering precision — gates that are completely yours.

Design Styles

Six Styles. Infinite Possibilities

Every gate we build starts with your property’s character — its architecture, landscape, and the statement you want to make.
