Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted team in sloped-drive gates, specializing in trackless cantilever gates, ground-track slide gates, and automated swing gates. We offer galvanized steel fabrication and continuous-duty gate operators.
Our team provides field-measured layouts and monitored safety sensors, delivering gates that clear the grade for homes and secure entries for both residential and commercial projects. Georgetown Metal Gates has put over 1,412 projects behind it in 11 years, ranging from a single walk gate in a stucco wall up to a 26 ft cantilever across a loading entrance, and each job carries 3 years of workmanship warranty covering welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
From reading the grade at each post to setting photo eyes on both sides of the opening, our team handles every step. Serving Cedar Park and neighboring Leander, Round Rock and Georgetown, we draw each gate to the slope of the drive and the room beside it.

What you can hold us to
Edmund had a wide entry off the RM-1431 and Whitestone Boulevard corridor with a sloped drive, where a swing leaf would have scraped the grade on every opening. We hung a 20 ft trackless cantilever in galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, driven by a rack-and-pinion operator with a photo eye pair, an estimated $6,800 to $9,200 project that typically took 3 to 4 days on site. The gate clears the slope and never touches the ground.
Florence lives on the Cypress Creek side, on a narrow side drive with no room for a swing arc. We built a 16 ft ground-track slide gate with horizontal-bar infill, a chain drive and a covered track drain, an estimated $2,400 to $4,100 job that typically took 2 to 3 days. The gate opens along the fence line and the track drains clear.
A sloped drive decides the gate type in Cedar Park, because a swing leaf has to clear the ground through its whole arc. Cedar Park sits at the edge of the hill country, and roughly two thirds of its homes were built after 2000 on lots that follow the land instead of flattening it.
A cantilever gate clearing a wide or sloped entry carries the leaf above the ground, with 2 to 3 inches of clearance above lawn grade, less over paved drives. An automated track-guided slide gate suits a narrow side drive with no room for a swing arc. A single-leaf swing gate with operator suits a drive with room, and it fails at a wide entry on a sloped drive where a swing leaf would have hit the grade.
Cedar Park's fence rules change where a gate can stand and how tall it can be, so we measure the lot before we draw anything. A published summary of the city code holds front-yard fences to a low height on most lots, with taller front fences possible only on lots over 20,000 sq ft, so lot size decides whether a tall front gate line is possible. Ask the city for the current wording before you settle on a height.
The same summary says height is measured from natural grade at the post to the post top, and that a fence more than 30 percent solid or over 3 ft tall cannot sit in the sight distance triangle at a corner. On a slope that means height is checked at each post, and a corner lot gets an open picket gate near the street so the view stays clear.
The same summary says fences up to 8 ft are exempt from a building permit under the amended code. A standard-height fence may skip that permit while zoning limits still apply, and gate operator electrical work is a separate matter. Confirm with the city for your address.
An automated single swing gate in Cedar Park is typically estimated at $2,500 to $5,000 and a trackless cantilever at $6,000 to $10,000, and the opening width, the grade and the power run move the price most. The table lists the jobs we set most often, all estimates.
| Cedar Park job | Est. investment | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Single-leaf swing gate with operator | Est. $2,500 to $5,000 for each system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Automated track-guided slide gate | Est. $1,500 to $5,000 for each system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Cantilever gate with no floor track | Est. $6,000 to $10,000 for each system | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Welded ornamental fence | Est. $50 to $85 a linear foot | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Operator added to a gate you own | Est. $1,800 to $3,800 for one operator system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
The median owner-occupied home value in Cedar Park is $513,600 (ACS 2024 5-year). An ornamental walk-through gate beside a Cedar Park garage is typically estimated at $600 to $1,500 and takes 4 to 8 hours. An operator retrofit on a gate you already own is typically estimated at $1,800 to $3,800 and also takes 4 to 8 hours, a common start for owners with a hand-dragged leaf near Cypress Creek.
A dual swing gate with two operators is typically estimated at $4,000 to $8,000 and takes 2 to 3 days, the choice for a wide Whitestone Boulevard entry where one leaf would be too heavy. A hand-wrought forged iron fence is typically estimated at $85 to $130 a linear foot and takes 3 to 6 days, while an aluminum pool fence is typically estimated at $30 to $45 a linear foot and takes 1 to 3 days. Iron stair and balcony railing is typically estimated at $65 to $135 a linear foot and takes 5 to 10 hours. Edmund's cantilever landed near the middle of the cantilever range, and Florence's slide gate near the middle of the slide range.
These figures are estimates for Cedar Park and are subject to change. After the site visit we put the final price and the schedule in a written quote.
Most Cedar Park owners choose cantilever gates for wide or sloped entries and sliding gates for narrow drives, with wrought iron fencing along the street side. Every steel gate is built in galvanized steel, black powder coat, hung on ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to the leaf weight.
The install runs in four steps. First, our estimator walks the drive and measures the grade at each post. Second, you approve the drawing. Third, we fabricate the leaf in our shop in galvanized steel, powder coat, with posts set 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, sized to the soil on the lot. Fourth, the crew hangs the gate, mounts one of our 24V DC continuous-duty operators sized to the leaf, and tests monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate, then tests the reverse before we leave. Texas811 marking is free and goes on the schedule before post holes.
The crew that measures your drive builds and installs the gate, so the grade we read on day one is the grade the leaf is cut to. Our Cedar Park location manager also runs our commercial gate schedules, which is how a loading entrance and a family driveway get the same safety testing.
We work the whole Cedar Park grid, from the RM-1431 and Whitestone corridor to the Cypress Creek side and the Brushy Creek Road streets, and the lots near the H-E-B Center and the Cedar Park Depot. Neighbors can see our work in Leander, Round Rock and Pflugerville, and the full list sits on our service area page.
Cedar Park jobs often pair a new gate with automatic driveway gates, a gate operator installation on a gate you already own, or pool fencing behind the house, and newer homes often pick a slat gate with a modern line.
A trackless cantilever, because the leaf rides above the ground and never meets the grade; Edmund's 20 ft gate on the RM-1431 corridor is the example.
Expect a typical estimate of $2,500 to $5,000 for a single swing gate and $6,000 to $10,000 for a cantilever; once we measure the drive, the written quote sets the final price.
It depends on your lot size under the reported code, so confirm with the city and we will draw to the answer.
A fence up to 8 ft is reported exempt from a building permit, but zoning limits still apply, so confirm with the city.
A cantilever typically takes an estimated 3 to 4 days on site, and a slide gate an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Yes, both sit on our weekly route out of Georgetown.
