Quick answer
It starts with a design visit where we measure the opening, look at the house and talk through style and materials. We draw the gate for your approval, build it in our shop, finish it with powder coat or paint, then install and automate it. Safe Haven Gates handles every step, so the gate, posts and operator are planned together.

Gates people stop to look at
A custom gate has to look right and work right. We design the frame so it is strong enough for the operator, light enough for the hinges and rollers, and finished to stand up to Northwest rain. Then we build it, hang it and automate it ourselves.
Reliable work, a fair price and good communication.

Reasonable quote on a new gate. Logan was great to work with.

What affects the cost
We quote after the design visit. These move the number most.
Which material?
Each one looks and wears differently in the Northwest.
| Steel | Aluminum | Wood infill | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | Strongest | Strong and light | Depends on the frame |
| Weight | Heaviest | Light, easy on operators | Medium |
| Upkeep | Powder coat lasts years | Very low, will not rust | Seal or stain every few years |
| Looks | Any design, crisp cutouts | Clean, modern | Warm and natural |
Built properly
Frames sized for the gate weight and the operator that will move it.
Engineered per gate
Welds ground and finished so they do not rust or crack.
Done in our shop

Made for PNW rain

How long does a custom gate take?
Most custom gates take a few weeks from approved design to install, depending on size, finish and the shop schedule. We give you a timeline with the quote.
Can you build a gate from my own design or photo?
Yes. Bring a sketch, a photo or an idea. We turn it into a drawing you approve before we build.
Can you add our house number, initials or a logo?
Yes. Numbers, initials, logos and scenes can be cut into steel panels or added as applied lettering.
What finish lasts best in the Northwest?
Powder coat over properly prepped or galvanized steel holds up best to rain. We recommend it for most steel gates.
Can a custom gate be automated?
Yes. We design custom gates with the operator in mind, so mounts, wiring and stops are built in.
Do you build matching fence panels and walk gates?
Yes. We can build matching walk gates, fence panels and mailbox or keypad posts so the entrance looks like one design.
Does a custom gate cost more than a standard gate?
Usually, because it is designed and built for your opening. The price depends on size, material, detail and finish, and we quote it after the design visit.
