Visit our wood gate gallery.

THE COMPANY Pacific Gate Works is located in western Oregon and began when two craftsmen, a metalworker and a woodworker, found a unique way to combine their passions. Our wooden gate designs exhibit time-tested construction techniques that utilize the natural beauty of Red Western Cedar and the strength of iron, making 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 will set a property apart from others and provide a unique welcome for your visitors. We realize that home ownership is still an American Dream and that everyone takes pride in the quality and personal style of their home.
Dimensions of existing designs can be easily altered to accommodate your particular situation, at affordable prices. We also offer standard sizes, some of which we carry in stock. Additionally, we are equipped to tailor a custom gate to your exact needs; our craftspeople welcome the opportunity to create a custom fence gate or driveway entrance gate from the ‘ground up.’ Dimensioned computer drawings are provided to ensure your confidence for a lifetime of purposeful use and enjoyment.
OUR WOOD OF CHOICE -- Clear Western Red Cedar
Wood selection for our custom wood gates is the most crucial aspect. Each board is carefully examined for structural quality and to ensure unity, symmetry and consistency throughout. Through this process, each garden and wood driveway gate acquires its own unique character and is truly one of a kind. Our wood of choice is clear Red Western Cedar. When required for structural stability and to prevent sagging, we use a steel support frame which is powder coated for maximum corrosion resistance and easy long term care.
STRUCTURAL DESIGN and SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP
The wood frames of our gates are constructed using mortise and tenon joinery, the strongest wood-to-wood connection. Slat panels are tongue and groove construction and "float" within the rail and stile framework. Both of these features allow for the natural, seasonal expansion and contraction of the wood.
CUSTOM IRON WORK FOR ADDED STRENGTH AND BEAUTY
All iron art options are built from high quality raw materials. All joints are welded and ground in our metal shop. 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.
