Pacific Gate Works |
THE COMPANY
Pacific Gate Works
is located in western Oregon and began when two craftsmen, a metalworker
and a woodworker, were searching for a unique way to combine their
passions. Our designs exhibit
the time-tested techniques that yield the natural beauty of Red Western
Cedar and the strength of iron, which makes our products one of a
kind. Simplicity and functionality in our garden gates render a timeless
beauty for future generations to enjoy.

GATES CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS
Custom wood gates
can set a property apart from others and provide a unique welcome
for your visitors. We realize that the dream of owning a home is still
an American Dream and that everyone takes pride in the quality and
personal style of a home.
Our craftspeople welcome the opportunity to customize
your fence gates or driveway entrance to meet your design preferences.
This enables us to tailor a custom gate for your exact needs. We also
offer standard sizes,
some of which we carry in stock.
We can readily manipulate dimensions to meet your particular situation
at affordable prices, or even customize wood gates, garden, or a driveway
gate from the "ground up." Dimensioned
computer drawings are provided to ensure your confidence
for a lifetime of purposeful use and enjoyment.

WOOD SELECTION - Clear Western Red Cedar
Wood selection for our wood gates is probably the most crucial
aspect. Each board is carefully examined for structural quality and
so that there will be unity, symmetry and consistency throughout.
Through this process each gate acquires its own unique character and
personality and is truly one of a kind. Our wood of choice is clear
Red Western Cedar. When required for structural stability and prevent
sagging, we will use a steel support frame which is powder coated
for maximum corrosion resistance and easy long term care.

STRUCTURAL
DESIGN and SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP
Mortise and tenon joinery
is used for the wood gate frame. It is the strongest wood-to-wood connection
and allows for expansion and contraction. Gate panels are tongue and
groove construction and "float" within the rail and stile
framework, which also allows for the expansion and contraction of wood
throughout the varying seasons. |
CUSTOM
IRON WORK FOR ADDED
STRENGTH AND BEAUTY
The iron art
is built from high quality raw materials. All joints are welded and
ground in our metalshop. We have a large supply base for varying shapes
and sizes of iron work to meet your custom needs. Do not hesitate to
let us know your custom iron design and we will build it for you.
Send us a sketch for review and we will quote it for you.
