Questions and Answers

Phoenix Iron Gates FAQ

Common questions about iron gates, fences, pool barriers, security doors and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build custom iron gates in Phoenix?

Yes. Every gate is drawn to your opening, then cut, welded and finished before install. That includes courtyard and entry gates, side-yard gates, arched gates and steel gates with wood slats.

Can you automate my driveway gate?

Yes. We install gate operators on new and existing swing and sliding gates, with keypads, remotes and safety photo eyes. We check the gate swings freely by hand before an operator goes on.

What does Phoenix require for a pool fence?

The City's pool policy calls for a non-climbable barrier at least five feet high, self-closing and self-latching gates, latches four and a half feet above the ground and openings under four inches.

Do you repair gates and fences you didn't build?

Yes. Sagging gates, broken welds, rusted posts, worn hinges and failed gate openers make up a big share of our work.

Which parts of Phoenix do you serve?

Homes across the city, including Paradise Valley Village, Camelback East, Encanto, Maryvale, South Mountain and North Mountain.

Is wrought iron the same as steel?

Most ironwork sold as wrought iron today is mild steel tube and bar, welded and finished to look like traditional wrought iron. It's stronger and easier to repair, and it takes powder coat or paint well.

Powder coat or paint?

Powder coat is baked on in a shop and usually holds up longer in the Phoenix sun. Paint is easier to touch up on site, which is why we use it on repairs and older fences.

Do you call Arizona 811 before setting posts?

Yes. Arizona law requires contacting Arizona 811 before digging, and we request locates before every post hole or footing.

Do I need HOA approval for a new gate or fence?

Many Phoenix HOAs review gates, fences and security doors visible from the street. We give you a drawing, color and height to submit.
