Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in commercial gates and perimeter fencing, specializing in anti-climb steel panels, gate maintenance service agreements, and automated swing leaves. We offer inspected, lubricated and sensor-tested gates finished in a multi-stage wash, zinc-phosphate primer and electrostatic polyester powder coat, 3 to 5 mils thick.
Our team provides field-measured drawings in Sunset Valley for residential and commercial projects. Sunset Valley work rests on 11 years in business and over 1,412 completed projects, a single walk gate in a stucco wall through a 26 ft cantilever across a loading entrance, and each install is covered by 3 years of workmanship warranty covering welds, hinge alignment, sag and travel.
From the first walk of the property to the final sensor test, our team handles all of it. Serving Sunset Valley around Brodie Lane and Jones Road, and neighboring Rollingwood, West Lake Hills and Lost Creek, we plan the post holes before we plan the steel.

What you can hold us to
Winston has a property off Brodie Lane with six commercial gates, three of them stuck open for months. We set up a monthly inspection of each gate with lubrication, sensors and limit checks, an estimated $560 to $650 visit that typically took 1 to 3 hours on site. Every gate closes and the logs show when each was last tested.
Xavier lives on Jones Road and had a thin chain link perimeter that was cut twice. We installed a 200 ft perimeter run of anti-climb steel panels with spacing under four inches and a hinge guard, an estimated $11,500 to $15,000 job that typically took 3 to 4 days. It is a perimeter that holds and that the owner can see through.
The city's code says most of Sunset Valley's corporate limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction fall within the recharge zone over the Edwards Aquifer. For a fence or gate job, expect questions about excavation, post holes and spoil included. We ask them before we dig, and for Xavier's 200 ft run on Jones Road the post line was walked first.
Confirm the fence height with the city before you settle on one.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality says a water pollution abatement plan is required for any regulated activity proposed in the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, with building construction, clearing and excavation among its examples. A fence is not among those examples, so ask the city whether yours counts. Anything bigger than a fence, such as a new driveway pad or a loading apron, is the thing to ask about first, and we raise it before the drawing is final.
The city code counts roads, parking, buildings and other impermeable construction as impervious cover. A paved gate apron or a new concrete track raises an impervious cover question, so we keep the footprint small and say so on the drawing. A ground-track slide leaf sets its track in concrete, which is one more reason to ask before the pour.
A prefabricated welded ornamental fence run in Sunset Valley is priced by the foot and by the run, and Xavier's 200 ft anti-climb run is the reference case here. The table lists the jobs we set most often, from a service visit to a perimeter, all estimates.
| Sunset Valley job | Est. investment | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring gate service plan | Est. $560 to $650 per visit | Est. 1 to 3 hours |
| Prefabricated welded ornamental fence, 200 ft | Est. $11,500 to $15,000 per run | Est. 3 to 4 days |
| Single-leaf swing gate with operator | Est. $2,500 to $5,000 for each system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Operator added to a gate you own | Est. $1,900 to $3,000 for each system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Ornamental walk-through gate | Est. $600 to $1,500 for each gate | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Winston's six-gate visit matched the $560 to $650 service range because every gate was reachable from one lot, and a walk gate beside the drive is an ornamental walk-through gate at an estimated $600 to $1,500.
These figures are estimates for Sunset Valley and are subject to change. A written quote follows our visit to the property in Sunset Valley, and it, not the table, sets the price and schedule.
Most Sunset Valley owners choose security fencing for the perimeter and gate service contracts for the gates they already have. In Sunset Valley, the steel gate we build is galvanized, coated in electrostatic polyester powder coat and hung on ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to the leaf weight, with pickets in 16-gauge, rails in 14-gauge and posts from 11-gauge to 3/16-inch. Spacing stays at 3.5 to 3.875 inches clear between pickets, and we use G90 hot-dip galvanized tube on posts and hollow rails so rust cannot start from the inside.
The install runs in four steps, and the crew works from a drawing that marks every post hole. First our estimator walks the property for a 200 ft perimeter run or a six-gate service plan, then you approve the drawing. Third, once free Texas811 marking is done, the leaves are fabricated in our shop and the posts go 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, sized to the soil on the lot. Fourth, the crew sets the panels or hangs the gate, mounts 24V DC continuous-duty operators sized to the leaf, and runs monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate, plus a reverse test before we leave.
The crew that walks your property builds and installs the work, so the post line on the drawing is the post line in the ground, a habit from 11 years and 1,412 projects. We fit gate catchers and positive travel stops on every swing and slide leaf, and a recurring gate service plan keeps the logs that show when each gate was last tested. Our Georgetown shop sits inside a 45 mile service radius of Sunset Valley, and our finished projects include a Cedar Park cantilever and a Round Rock fence run.
We work the streets around Brodie Lane, Jones Road, Sunset Trail and Highway 290. Neighbors can see our work in Rollingwood, Lost Creek and Austin, and the full list sits on our service area page.
Sunset Valley jobs often pair a perimeter with gate access control at the entry, or wrought iron fencing at the front.
The city code places most of the city in the recharge zone, so we ask excavation questions first; the state's examples do not name fences, so confirm with the city.
The city code counts roads, parking, buildings and other impermeable construction, so a paved apron raises the question and we ask before the pour.
Ask the city for the current limit before you settle on a height; we draw to the figure it confirms.
A service visit is usually estimated at $560 to $650 for a case like Winston's six gates, and your written quote fixes the final price.
A 200 ft anti-climb run typically takes an estimated 3 to 4 days on site, and a service visit an estimated 1 to 3 hours.
Yes, both are on the weekly circuit we run west of Austin.
