Modern Horizontal Slat Gate in Bellaire, TX

A custom gates project completed by Forged Fence & Deck in Bellaire, TX. Built with cedar slats, steel frame, hidden hinges for long-term durability.
Project Overview
This custom gates project was completed by the Forged Fence & Deck crew in Bellaire, Texas during March 2025. Every job we take on in the Greater Houston Metro is planned around Gulf Coast conditions — clay soil movement, humidity, coastal wind loads, and heavy seasonal rain — so the finished product holds up long after installation day.
This custom gates project was completed by the Forged Fence & Deck crew in Bellaire, Texas. The homeowner wanted a solution that would stand up to the humid Gulf Coast climate and look great from the street, so we recommended materials and construction methods built specifically for this region.
We started with a site survey, marked the layout, and set every post in concrete to prevent shifting in Bellaire's expansive clay soils. The crew paid close attention to grade changes, gate swing, and neighbor lines so the finished installation would be clean and code-compliant.
Every project we take in Bellaire is backed by our workmanship warranty and finished with the same attention to detail we bring to jobs across Pearland, Houston, and the surrounding metro area.
Why Custom Gates Matters in Bellaire
Built for Gulf Coast Weather
Bellaire sees heavy rain, hurricane-force wind events, and expansive clay soils. Every post on this project was set in concrete to keep the structure plumb through wet/dry cycles.
Local Materials & Methods
We spec materials that perform in Bellaire — pressure-treated lumber, galvanized hardware, cedar rated for humidity, and powder-coated steel where corrosion is a factor.
