Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted team in replacing builder-grade gates, specializing in automated dual swing gates, aluminum pool fence, and galvanized steel fabrication. We offer continuous-duty gate operators and hand-wrought forged iron fence.
Our team provides field-measured layouts and monitored safety sensors, delivering gates that hold their line for homes and secure entries for both residential and commercial projects. Every Leander install gets a 3-year workmanship warranty covering welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel, and it comes from 11 years in business and over 1,412 completed projects, the smallest being a single walk gate in a stucco wall and the largest a 26 ft cantilever across a loading entrance.
From checking whether the lot sits in city limits to setting the pool fence pickets to the safety gap, our team handles every step. Serving Leander and neighboring Cedar Park, Round Rock and Georgetown, we draw each gate to the frame of the house and the rules of the lot.

What you can hold us to
Isidro bought a new build off Bagdad Road whose builder gate was a thin pipe frame that sagged in the first year. We replaced it with a 16 ft double leaf in galvanized steel with powder coat, an estimated $5,200 to $7,400 project that typically took 2 to 3 days on site. The leaves now swing level and the latch lines up every time.
Josephine lives in the Leander Station area, with a backyard pool and a wood fence that left a gap at one corner. We built a 140 ft pool enclosure in powder-coated aluminum, an estimated $4,800 to $5,900 job that typically took 2 to 3 days. The new fence closes the corner gap and the gates self-latch.
A thin builder frame sags in Leander because a double leaf is heavy, and a pipe frame has no stiffness to carry it. Isidro's gate off Bagdad Road is the usual case: the posts were fine, the frame was not.
The repair is a stiffer frame and better hardware, not a bigger operator. The leaf is galvanized steel fabricated in our shop, with pickets in 16-gauge, rails in 14-gauge and posts from 11-gauge to 3/16-inch, and it swings on ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to the leaf weight.
Leander's city limits decide whether the city reviews a fence at all, so the first question on a job is city limits or ETJ. The city's permit list includes Fences Over Seven Feet and masonry screening walls, and it limits ETJ permits to signs and water and wastewater connections. The city also says the list is not comprehensive, so confirm with the city for your address.
A published summary of the city code calls for a guard rail on any wall over 48 inches, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. Check with the city before a gate goes on a retaining wall.
The same summary says barbed wire is prohibited in residential zoning, so we do not offer barbed top rails on residential lots. Confirm that with the city too.
An automated two-leaf swing entry in Leander is typically estimated at $4,000 to $8,000 and an aluminum pool fence at $30 to $45 a linear foot, and the leaf size, the post soil and the power run move the price most. The rows below are the jobs we install most often around Leander, and every price in them is an estimate.
| Leander job | Est. investment | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Automated two-leaf swing entry | Est. $4,000 to $8,000 for each system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Aluminum pool fence | Est. $30 to $45 a linear foot | Est. 1 to 3 days |
| Single-leaf swing gate with operator | Est. $2,500 to $5,000 for each system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Hand-wrought forged iron fence | Est. $85 to $130 a linear foot | Est. 3 to 6 days |
| Operator added to a gate you own | Est. $1,800 to $3,800 for one operator system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
An ornamental walk-through gate beside a Leander garage is typically estimated at $600 to $1,500 and takes 4 to 8 hours. A keypad or intercom access package takes 4 to 8 hours, and an automated track-guided slide gate is typically estimated at $1,500 to $5,000 and takes 2 to 3 days. Plan on an estimated $50 to $85 a linear foot and 2 to 4 days for a welded ornamental fence.
Isidro's double leaf landed in the upper half of the dual swing range because of the post depth, and Josephine's pool fence landed near the middle of the pool code range.
These figures are estimates for Leander and are subject to change. The final price and the schedule for a Leander job come from the written quote we send after walking the site.
Most Leander owners choose automatic driveway gates for a new-build drive and pool fencing for the yard, with wrought iron fencing along the front. A pool fence here is built with 3.5 to 3.875 inches clear between pickets, inside the 4-inch sphere rule, in powder-coated aluminum.
The install runs in four steps. First, our estimator walks the drive and checks city limits against the ETJ line. Second, you approve the drawing. Third, the Leander leaf is fabricated in our shop in galvanized steel with powder coat, and posts go 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, sized to the soil on the lot. Fourth, the crew hangs the Leander gate and mounts a 24V DC continuous-duty operator sized to the leaf, then tests the monitored photo eyes and edge sensors on every automatic gate and confirms the leaf reverses before leaving. Before any post hole in Leander, Texas811 marks the underground lines for free, and we schedule that first.
The crew that measures your drive builds and installs the gate, so the frame we read on day one is the frame we replace. Our Leander location manager also runs our commercial gate schedules, so a pool enclosure and a loading entrance get the same safety testing.
We work the whole Leander grid, from the Leander Station area and U.S. Highway 183 to RM 2243 and the streets off Bagdad Road. Neighbors can see our work in Cedar Park and Round Rock, and the full list sits on our service area page.
Leander jobs often pair a new gate with gate operator installation on a gate you already own, or sliding gates for a narrow drive.
A thin pipe frame cannot carry a double leaf, as on Isidro's gate off Bagdad Road, so the fix is a stiffer galvanized steel frame.
Dual swing gates typically come in at an estimated $4,000 to $8,000, with the final price fixed by the written quote after we measure the drive.
It depends on city limits or ETJ, and on height, so confirm with the city for your address.
A published summary of the code says barbed wire is prohibited in residential zoning, so we do not offer it; confirm with the city.
A double leaf typically takes an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, and a pool fence an estimated 1 to 3 days.
Yes, we cover both on our regular weekly route from the Georgetown shop.
