Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in side-drive gates and steel fence, specializing in automated track-guided slide gates, prefabricated ornamental steel fence, and arched walk gates. We offer a single-leaf swing gate with operator and fence panels in galvanized tube, powder coat.
Our team provides plumb post setting and video intercom, keypad or phone entry with delivery codes, delivering yards that stay open to the view for homes and well-placed entries for both residential and commercial projects. With over 1,412 projects finished across 11 years and a 3-year workmanship warranty behind them, Georgetown Metal Gates takes on anything from one walk gate to a 140 ft run with an arched walk gate.
From setting a slide track in new concrete to checking every post for plumb, our team handles the whole job. Serving Pflugerville along with Round Rock, Austin and Cedar Park, we settle the view at the street before the layout is final.

What you can hold us to
Thaddeus got a ground-track slide gate in powder-coated steel, horizontal bars across a 16 ft side drive on the FM 1825 (Pecan Street) side, an estimated $3,800 to $5,000 job that typically took 2 to 3 days. Thaddeus owns a newer two-story brick home with a side drive between cedar fence runs and no room for a swing arc. We set the track in new concrete and gave the operator its own pad at the end of the run. The side drive now closes with a remote, and the sight line at the street stayed clear.
Marguerite got a flat-top steel picket fence, a 140 ft run with an arched walk gate on the Lake Pflugerville side, an estimated $7,500 to $10,500 project that typically took 2 to 4 days. Marguerite has a brick home backing onto open water, where a solid fence would have blocked the view. We built the Pflugerville run in galvanized tube, powder coat finish, and set every post plumb in concrete footings. The yard is enclosed, and the water still shows through the pickets.
The sight line decides where a Pflugerville gate can stand, because the city prohibits any fence that obstructs traffic sight lines or sight triangles, and the city engineer makes that call. We keep the panels nearest the street open on a side drive or corner lot, and we ask the city engineer about the triangle before the layout is final.
Most of what we see here is newer: 62% of Pflugerville's housing was built in 2000 or later and only 4% before 1980 (ACS 2024 5-year). A ground-track slide gate runs along the fence line, which suits a narrow side drive with no room for a swing arc.
Pflugerville Development Services is the office to call for the height, front-yard and permit answer at your address, and you want that answer before the layout is final. Pass the reply to our estimator, and the drawing follows it.
A repair can turn into a replacement in Pflugerville: when more than 50% of a fence's length, or more than 100 combined linear feet, needs repair, the entire fence has to be replaced. We measure every damaged section before we price a repair.
The city also gives a short clock: you get ten days from a notice to replace broken or missing parts, using the same material or one close to it. Materials not made for fencing, such as plywood, corrugated steel or fiberglass panels, are prohibited, which rules out a quick patch in a gate bay. A violation is a Class C misdemeanor, with a fine from one dollar to five hundred dollars and each day counted as a separate offense.
A plumb post keeps a Pflugerville fence legal, because a fence over 4 ft tall may not lean more than 1 ft from vertical at the top, and a fence 4 ft or under may not lean more than 6 in. We use posts set 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, sized to the soil on the lot, and check each one for plumb before the concrete sets. We fit gate catchers and positive travel stops on every swing and slide leaf, which takes the slam off a Pflugerville post.
A ground-track slide gate in Pflugerville is typically estimated at $1,500 to $5,000 and a welded ornamental fence at $50 to $85 a linear foot, with opening width, run length and the concrete work moving the price most.

Most Pflugerville owners pair wrought iron fencing in flat-top steel with sliding gates on the side drive. A Pflugerville run starts as G90 hot-dip galvanized tube on posts and hollow rails so rust cannot start from the inside. We weld it from posts of 11-gauge to 3/16-inch, rails of 14-gauge and pickets of 16-gauge, for Pflugerville yards and drives alike. The finish on every Pflugerville panel is a multi-stage wash, zinc-phosphate primer and electrostatic polyester powder coat, 3 to 5 mils thick. A lake-side Pflugerville yard keeps its view with 3.5 to 3.875 inches clear between pickets.
A Pflugerville install follows four steps, and the sight line gets checked at the first one. Our estimator measures the drive, the fence on either side and the view at the street. You bring in the Development Services answer and approve the drawing. After free Texas811 marking, we build the leaf in our shop, pour the track and pad, and set posts. Finally, the crew rolls or hangs the gate, mounts 24V DC continuous-duty operators sized to the leaf, and tests monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate until the leaf stops and reverses on cue.
Pflugerville owners hire us for straight posts and a gate that fits the room they have. We back that with 1,412 projects, 11 years and a 3-year workmanship warranty covering welds, hinge alignment, sag and travel, and swing leaves hang on ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to the leaf weight.
We work Pflugerville from the FM 1825 (Pecan Street) corridor to Pfluger Park, Gilleland Creek and the Lake Pflugerville side, roughly 23 minutes from the Georgetown square, for a city of 65,971 people in Travis County (ACS 2024 5-year). Neighbors can see our work in Round Rock gate projects, Cedar Park drives, Leander gates and fence and our Austin iron work, and the whole service area is one click away.
Pflugerville jobs often pair new steel with driveway gate installation for the footings and conduit, gate operator installation on a gate you already own, or automatic gate repair when a slide gate starts to stall.
A ground-track slide gate fits best, because it travels along the fence line with no swing arc, as on the Thaddeus job off FM 1825.
Yes, a fence may not obstruct traffic sight lines or sight triangles, and the city engineer decides what obstructs them.
Pflugerville Development Services answers both for your address, so ask that office before the layout is final and we will draw to its answer.
A repair of more than 50% of the length, or more than 100 combined linear feet, means the entire fence is replaced.
A single-leaf swing gate with operator, for a drive with room for the arc, is typically estimated at $2,500 to $5,000. We measure the drive first, then fix the final price in a written quote.
An ornamental walk-through gate typically takes an estimated 4 to 8 hours on site, and a welded ornamental fence an estimated 2 to 4 days.
