Capitola Metal Gate Masters

The choice of material depends on various factors such as the purpose of the gate or fence, your budget, and the level of maintenance you're willing to perform. Popular options include:

• Metal Gates for durability and security.
• Composite Gates for low maintenance and a modern look.
• Hybrid Gates (Wood and Metal) for a combination of strength and aesthetic appeal.
• Wrought Iron Gates for an elegant, traditional appearance.
• Steel Gates for maximum strength and security.

Permits may be required depending on your municipality or HOA regulations. It's important to check local rules before starting your installation. Capitola Metal Gate Masters can assist you in determining whether a permit is necessary and help with the application process​.

The lifespan of your gate or fence varies based on the material, weather conditions, and maintenance. For instance, wrought iron and steel gates can last decades with proper care, while vinyl and composite gates are designed to withstand the elements with minimal upkeep. Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of your installation​ 

The installation process involves several steps, including site preparation, post setting, and gate or fence assembly. For swing gates, ensuring proper alignment and support is crucial, while sliding gates require a track system for smooth operation. Vertical pivot/lift gates and curving sliding gates have unique installation needs that our professionals are well-equipped to handle​  

Maintenance depends on the material:

• Metal Gates: Regularly check for rust and repaint as needed.
• Composite: Clean with soap and water to remove dirt and debris.
• Hybrid Gates: Treat the wood components with sealant or stain and inspect metal parts for rust.
• Electric Gates: Ensure the motor and electrical components are functioning properly and lubricate moving parts​
