Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in ranch and acreage entry gates, specializing in wide double leaf frames, heavy posts, solar operators and monitored safety sensors. We offer 18 ft double leaf entries, galvanized steel frames with pipe or picket infill and keypad or video intercom entry, plus solar power where a trench is not practical.
Our crew provides fabrication, post setting and operator wiring under one roof, delivering gates that clear a trailer for homes and dependable entries for both residential and commercial projects. Every ranch entry gates job is covered for 3 years of workmanship on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel, and the shop behind it has 11 years in business and over 1,412 completed projects, from a 16 ft double leaf to an 18 ft double leaf on an acre lot.
From the first post to the last hinge and the solar panel at the far end of the drive, our team handles every part of an acreage entry. Serving Georgetown and nearby Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander and Serenada, the crew that measured your frontage hangs the leaves and commissions the operators.

What you can hold us to
Kasper, Serenada Country Estates, Serenada
An acre lot outside the city where no city code applies, but recorded deed restrictions did
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Kasper's acre lot in Serenada Country Estates had a long drive and a wide opening, and the deed restrictions plus the county fire marshal both had a say. We built an 18 ft double leaf, ran dual operators and set a Knox box for the county fire marshal, an estimated $6,000 to $7,800 job over an estimated 2 to 3 days. The leaves swing wide enough for a trailer and the entry passed review. The 3-year workmanship warranty applies to ranch entry gates just as it does across our 1,412 projects in 11 years.
A ranch entry runs wider and heavier than a suburban gate, and it often sits far from power. The table compares the options for a lot in Georgetown, Serenada or Leander.
| Layout | Best fit | Est. complete system |
|---|---|---|
| Automated dual swing | A wide drive or a trailer entry | Est. $4,000 to $8,000 |
| Trackless cantilever | A sloped entry with a clear fence line | Est. $6,000 to $10,000 |
| Automated single swing | A flat apron up to about 14 ft | Est. $2,500 to $5,000 |
| Ground-track slide | A narrow side drive | Est. $1,500 to $5,000 |
Acreage entries meet fewer city rules and more private ones. Before we draw anything for Serenada Country Estates, we read its deed restrictions, since the community has no city code. Volente asks for a right-of-way permit and a topographic survey on slopes over 10 percent, and Sunset Valley sits on the Edwards recharge zone. Williamson County's fire marshal publishes a Gated Access Permit plan that shows a Knox box, which we confirm for your address.
Under DASMA's guidance, most installations need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction. Texas law asks for 811 notice before any post hole or trench, and a gate across a fire lane in Round Rock needs a Knox key switch or Opticom receiver. Confirm current rules with your city or county before you commit.
Every acreage entry follows the same path from the first tape measure to the signed-off test:
A long drive often ends far from the house, so solar power saves a trench of several hundred feet on a Serenada or Leander acre. West of I-35 the limestone shelf can stop a post hole short, and east of it the clay moves with the rain, so a Lost Creek or Volente lot gets its ground checked before the footing depth is set. A wide leaf is heavy, so the hinges are sized to the leaf and the posts are set deep.
An automated two-leaf swing entry is estimated at $4,000 to $8,000 for the complete package, and the leaf width, the distance to power and the entry device move the price most. Intercom or keypad access control adds an estimated $680 to $3,000 on top.

The ranch entry gates figures here are estimates for Georgetown and are subject to change. Treat the ranges above as a starting point: the written quote after the site visit sets the final price for ranch entry gates on your property and the install schedule.
Pick galvanized steel, ornamental steel or hand-forged wrought iron for the leaf, and we size the operators to match. See steel gates for tube construction, dual swing gates for the two-leaf layout, or estate entry gates for columns and lighting. Kasper's 18 ft double leaf is a good picture of a plain steel frame that reads as finished on an acre.
Before any drawing is made, the owner walks the drive with you from Georgetown to Round Rock, and the same people who measure the opening hang the leaves and test the sensors. Across 1,412 projects and 11 years, an entry that is sized, wired and tested by one crew gives fewer callbacks than one split between a fence company and an electrician. Ranch entry gates inside the 45-mile radius around our Georgetown shop get 3 years of workmanship warranty covering welds, hinge alignment, sag and travel. Each ranch entry gates leaf, from Lost Creek to Rollingwood, gets gate catchers and positive travel stops, driven by a 24V DC continuous-duty operator.
We install within a 45-mile radius of the Georgetown shop, including Serenada acreage gates, Leander ranch entries, Cedar Park driveway gates and Round Rock gate service. The service area page covers the other towns too: Steiner Ranch, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Volente, Lost Creek and Sunset Valley. Slope is common on Steiner Ranch and Volente drives, and Round Rock and Leander drives tend to run flatter.
Owners in Leander and Round Rock who choose a wide entry often add gate access control, a solar gate operator or a pedestrian entry gate, and some compare it with a cantilever gate.
An automated dual swing gate is estimated at $4,000 to $8,000, confirmed in your written quote.
Our crew has built an 18 ft double leaf on an acre lot in Serenada, and we confirm the width against your trailer path when we measure.
Most acreage entries take an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, as with Kasper's 18 ft double leaf in Serenada.
Yes, a solar panel with dual-battery backup runs the 24V DC operators where trenching power is not practical in Georgetown or Leander.
A battery backup keeps the operators running through an outage in Georgetown or Serenada, and a manual release lets you push each leaf open by hand.
Yes, because monitored photo eyes and edge sensors stop and reverse the leaves on contact in Cedar Park or Sunset Valley, and DASMA's guidance says most installations need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction.

Start to finish
We measure the opening, the grade and the swing or slide path before anything is drawn.
You approve a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before steel is cut.
The gate is welded in our shop, then galvanized and powder coated before it leaves for your property.
We set the posts, hang the gate, wire the operator and test every photo eye and safety edge with you.
