APPALACHIAN IRONWORKS Salem, Virginia
Gates
Gates are a fun way to add the look of wrought
iron to any space. Please remember our gates are
NOT lightweight flimsy aluminum or tubing. Our
gates are heavy and need adequate posts. In new
construction, when planning for a gate such as a
driveway entrance gate you must plan for posts.
Many times these gates are flanked with stone or
brickwork, you will need to discuss this with your
stone mason and incorporate a metal post inside
the masonry. If this is not done, there are this is
not done, there are still ways to hide the metal post
behind the masonry. Even a pedestrian gate could
be too heavy, especially if it needs to be mounted
to a conventional wall it may need to be reinforced.
We have a wide variety of automatic gate
operators from a simple hydraulic helper or pool
gate hinge that closes every time it is opened, to
high tech operators that you can access from
anywhere in the world by telephone. Again
complex openers need to be planned for in
advance to prevent the need to dig through freshly
laid asphalt or newly planted landscaping.
