Custom Wood Gates
Fence Max Texas hand-builds custom wood gates for Dallas–Fort Worth properties, with design options including see-through and solid inserts, pediment and arched tops, corbels, iron accents and hardware sized for the weight and swing of each gate.
A custom gate is the detail people notice. It is the part of the fence guests walk through, and it is where the craftsmanship of the whole project shows.
We build gates to the measured opening, with a frame and hardware sized for the finished weight. That is what keeps a heavy custom gate swinging freely years later instead of dragging on the concrete.
Design options include see-through decorative inserts, solid privacy panels, pediment and arched tops, corbels and trim, and iron accent work integrated into the wood frame.

Texas weather
A gate expands, contracts and moves more than any other part of a fence because it is unsupported on one side. Bracing, hardware selection and post depth are what keep it square through a full Texas year.
Maintenance
Tighten hinge and latch hardware twice a year, keep all six faces of the frame sealed, and correct any drag early before it wears the hardware.
FAQ
Common questions
- What makes a gate custom rather than standard?
- It is built to your opening with your chosen insert, top profile and detailing, rather than assembled from a stock panel and trimmed to fit.
- Can iron be combined with wood?
- Yes. Iron inserts inside a cedar frame is one of the most popular designs we build.
- How long do custom gates take to build?
- Fabrication time depends on the design and hardware. Your project manager gives you the specific schedule in writing.
- Can you add a lock or keypad?
- Yes, from a simple keyed latch through to keypad and access-control hardware.
- Will the gate match my fence?
- It can match the fence exactly, or be intentionally detailed to stand out as an entry feature. Both are common.
