A custom gate isn't an afterthought — it's the centerpiece of your fence installation and the primary functional access point for your property. MCM Fence LLC designs and builds single swing, double swing, sliding, and pedestrian gates in every material we work with: vinyl, wood, aluminum, chain link, and steel. We size every gate correctly for the opening, spec the right hardware for the weight and use, and build gates that operate smoothly for years without sagging or binding.
Key Benefits
- All gate types: Single swing, double swing, pedestrian walk-through, and sliding gates — we build and install all configurations.
- All materials available: Vinyl, wood, aluminum, chain link, and steel gates to match any fence system on your property.
- Proper hardware specification: Gate hardware is sized and specified to the gate's weight, width, and use frequency — not one-size-fits-all hinges.
- Vehicle and pedestrian configurations: Driveway gates sized for single or double vehicle access; pedestrian gates for walk-through access points.

- Pool-code compliant gate options: Self-closing, self-latching configurations that meet Florida pool barrier requirements.
Why MCM Fence for Custom Gates & Entry
A gate that sags, binds, drags on the ground, or fails to latch after six months is the result of the wrong hardware, the wrong post spec, or both. MCM Fence specs every gate with the correct post depth, concrete volume, hinge grade, and latch type for the specific gate size and use. We've been building gates across Tampa Bay for over 10 years and we know how to get it right the first time.
Custom Gate Installation Across Tampa Bay
Your gate does more work than the rest of your fence. It opens and closes dozens of times a week. It takes the weight of its own swing. It’s the first thing visitors see and the last thing you interact with as you back out of the driveway. A gate built with the wrong hardware for its weight, or set on posts that aren’t deep enough for the load, becomes a problem within months.
We build gates that last. The hardware conversation matters before a single post goes in the ground. Hinge grade is sized to gate weight. Post depth and concrete volume are calculated for the cantilever load. Latch type is specified for use frequency. This is engineering as much as it is carpentry, and MCM Fence approaches every gate installation with the specificity that long gate life demands.
Every material, any configuration. Matching your existing vinyl privacy fence with a vinyl swing gate. Building a board-on-board wood double gate to the width of your driveway. Installing an ornamental aluminum pedestrian gate for pool access. Fabricating a heavy-duty steel sliding gate for a commercial property. We build custom gates in every material we work with, in any configuration the opening requires.
Automation ready by design. Adding an automatic gate opener to a manually built gate is easy when the gate was built for it. We construct gates with the structural framing and post infrastructure that automatic opener installation requires — whether you’re adding the opener now or planning to in the future. Ask about our automatic gate opener service for same-contractor convenience.
Pool gates done right. Pool barrier gates are a code-specific item in Florida. MCM Fence installs pool gates with self-closing hinges, self-latching hardware at the correct position, outward swing away from the pool, and latch height that meets Florida Statute 515. Every pool gate we build is ready for Hillsborough County inspection.
