Measuring Your Opening

Accurate measurements are essential for a perfect fit and smooth operation. Follow these steps to ensure your custom wrought iron gate or railing fits your space precisely.

1. Measure the Width

• Measure the distance from the inside of one pillar to the inside of the opposite pillar.
• If posts are not yet installed, measure the clear opening where the gate or railing will go. 
• If you need posts, we will make the necessary allowances for them when manufacturing your gate.
• Take measurements at three points: top, middle, and bottom of the opening.
• Use the smallest measurement to ensure the best fit for your gate or railing.

2. Measure the Height

• Measure from the finished ground level (or the base where the railing will sit) up to the top of the pillar or beneath the coping stone.

3. Check for Obstacles

• Ensure there’s enough space for the gate to swing open.
• Check for nearby walls, posts, steps, or slopes that might affect installation or operation.
