CUSTOM GATES
Tailored Fabrication & Automation Ready
Custom gates that enhance security and curb appeal
A custom gate is often the first element visitors notice about your property. Whether you want an ornamental iron gate, a modern aluminum gate, a rustic wooden entrance, or a custom automated solution, Ground Control designs and installs gates that reflect your style while providing secure, reliable operation.
Serving Inverness and the wider Citrus County area, our custom gate services include design consultation, fabrication, automation-ready installation, and maintenance.
Why a custom gate matters
A custom gate does more than mark an entrance it communicates style, adds privacy, controls access, and improves security. Custom fabrication allows for unique dimensions, decorative patterns, and materials that integrate with your home or business aesthetic.

Materials & Design Options
Integrated style and durability
Wrought Iron & Steel
Ideal for ornate, durable gates with a classic look. Powder-coating improves corrosion resistance and color durability.
Aluminum
Lighter than steel but still strong and rust-resistant. Aluminum gates can mimic iron looks with less maintenance.
Wood
For a warm, traditional aesthetic. We use treated or rot-resistant species and protective finishes to prolong life.
Composite
Offers the look of wood without the maintenance; ideal for custom panels and decorative elements.
Mixed-Material
Combine metal frames with wooden infill or decorative inserts for a unique, modern look.
Finish Options
Powder coating for metal, sealants and stains for wood, and protective paints for longevity.
