Metal Work That Opens and Closes Reliably

Custom Metal Gates and Railings for Properties in Colorado City

You need a gate that swings without dragging, latches without adjusting, and holds up under daily use. You need railings that stay secure when someone leans on them and don't rust through after a few seasons. In Colorado City, where properties often include long driveways, livestock pens, and elevated walkways, poorly built metalwork shows its flaws quickly.

Imagine That Construction LLC fabricates custom metal gates and railings for residential and commercial properties throughout Colorado City and surrounding areas. Each piece is designed to match your fencing system or building style, with welded joints and hardware chosen for smooth operation and long-term durability. Gates are built to open easily without sagging, and railings are anchored to provide stable support wherever they're installed.

How Fabrication Affects Daily Function

Your gate or railing project in Colorado City begins with measuring the opening or area where the metalwork will be installed. We discuss hinge placement, latch style, and whether the gate needs to swing in one direction or both. Railings are measured for height, spacing, and anchoring method based on local safety standards and the structure they're attached to.

After installation, you'll notice the gate swings without binding and the latch engages cleanly every time. Railings stay firm underhand pressure and don't shift or wobble. Finishes resist peeling and rust, even when exposed to sun and moisture throughout the year.

Custom gates are commonly used at driveway entrances, access points, and livestock pens. Railings are installed on porches, ramps, and elevated walkways. The metalwork does not include automated openers or decorative scrollwork unless specified, but it provides the strength and security needed for everyday use.

Things People Ask Before Ordering Metalwork

Property owners in Colorado City often want to know about sizing, finishes, and how the gate or railing holds up over time. These questions cover the practical details that affect performance and maintenance.

What keeps a gate from sagging after it's installed?
Proper hinge placement and a square frame prevent sagging. We weld the frame to maintain its shape and use heavy-duty hinges rated for the gate's weight.
How is the finish applied to resist rust?
Gates and railings are primed and painted with coatings designed for outdoor use. The finish protects the metal from moisture and UV exposure, and it can be touched up if needed.
What spacing is used for railing posts?
Railing posts are spaced according to code requirements, typically between four and six feet apart. Closer spacing adds strength and meets safety standards for residential and commercial properties.
Why do some gates have two hinges and others have three?
Hinge count depends on the gate's width and weight. Wider or heavier gates need a third hinge to distribute the load and prevent stress on the frame.
How do you anchor railings to concrete or wood?
Railings are bolted to concrete surfaces using expansion anchors or set into wet concrete during a pour. Wood surfaces use through-bolts with backing plates for added support.
