Anaheim Gate Pros provides professional wood gates in Anaheim, CA for residential and commercial properties across Orange County. Wood driveway gates read warm in a way metal never quite manages, and a horizontal-slat cedar gate against a modern stucco elevation still beats anything else on the block. The catch is that wood alone will not hold a fourteen-foot span square through one Southern California summer, which is why every wood gate we build in Anaheim is hung on a welded steel frame. That construction detail is not us upselling steel. Wood moves. It takes on moisture in a wet February, gives it back in a dry September, and a gate framed entirely in lumber slowly turns into a parallelogram as the joints work. You see it everywhere: a gate that closed perfectly in year one now needs a lift and a shove, and there is a fresh arc scraped into the driveway. Putting the load on a steel frame and hanging cedar or redwood off it as cladding means the metal holds the geometry and the wood does what wood is genuinely good at, which is looking expensive. Species matters. Western red cedar and redwood both have natural rot and insect resistance and both take a penetrating stain beautifully. We steer people away from pine and most big-box treated lumber for gate cladding because it moves more and cups faster in this climate. Whatever we use gets sealed on all six faces before assembly, including the end grain and the hidden back side, because rot never starts on the face you are looking at. It starts at an unsealed cut end sitting against a rail with nowhere to drain. Design options include horizontal slat with a reveal, tight board-on-board for full privacy, vertical tongue-and-groove, framed panel, and mixed wood-and-iron where the iron carries the ornament and the wood carries the warmth. Slat gaps are worth thinking through, because a tighter gap looks better and catches more wind, and wind load drives hinge and post sizing. Refinishing is the part people underestimate. A film-forming finish looks fantastic for eighteen months and then peels in sheets and has to be stripped. We use penetrating stains that fade rather than fail, so a maintenance coat is a Saturday with a brush rather than a project. We also rebuild tired wood gates rather than replacing them: re-slatting warped or silvered boards onto the existing frame, splicing in a new bottom rail, re-hanging on proper hinges, and welding a steel frame into a wood gate that never had one.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, powder-coated aluminum gates, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Anaheim and nearby communities including Santa Ana, Fullerton, Orange, Garden Grove.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood gates
The difference between wood gates that lasts and wood gates that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, powder-coated aluminum gates, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Anaheim job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
