Can you automate an existing gate?

In many cases, yes — we can retrofit automation onto an existing gate if the structure and hardware are compatible, or recommend a replacement if not.

What's the most durable material for an outdoor fence?

Steel and wrought iron are popular for their strength and longevity, especially with a powder-coat finish that resists Pacific Northwest weather.

How much clearance do I need for a sliding gate?

Sliding gates typically need clear run space equal to the gate's width along the fence line. We'll evaluate your property during a site visit to confirm what will fit.

Do you offer gate repair, or only new installations?

We handle both. Many of our gate calls start as a repair — misaligned tracks, rust, or failed openers — and we'll advise honestly on repair versus replacement.

Gates & Fences Built for Daily Use

North 2 South Ironwork fabricates custom gates and fences that combine security, convenience, and visual impact. From driveway and automatic gates to perimeter fencing, we design every system around the layout, access needs, and style of the property. Sliding gates, swing gates, and decorative fence panels are all built in-house and installed for long-term, dependable performance.

We also coordinate metal details across gates, fences, and other ironwork on the property — like railings and ornamental accents — so everything feels like part of one cohesive design rather than mismatched additions.
