For a single-leaf gate (3–4 ft wide), factory-direct pricing typically ranges $650–$1,200 FOB. Double-leaf gates (8–12 ft) range $1,400–$2,800 depending on steel thickness, finish, and scrollwork complexity. Add ocean freight ($200–$600) and local install. You'll pay 35–50% less than US custom shops for equivalent quality.

Absolutely. Submit a photo, sketch, or Pinterest link — our engineers will create a free 3D CAD model within 48 hours. We'll walk you through design options, material selection, and code compliance. You get unlimited revisions until you're 100% satisfied.

We've engineered our standard designs to comply with IRC 2024, ASCE 7-22 wind loads, and IBC egress requirements. For each gate, we provide a structural calculation report signed by a licensed engineer, plus material certifications. We also offer ZIP-code-specific wind load analysis for Florida/Texas/California projects.

Each gate is bolted to a heavy-duty wooden skid, wrapped in foam/polyethylene, enclosed in a custom-built crate, and secured with steel strapping. Corners get triple-layer cardboard + foam. We photograph every gate at 8 angles before packing. Our damage rate = 0.4% — and we pre-ship replacement parts at no cost if any issue occurs.

No MOQ for standard designs. For fully custom gates (unique scrollwork, custom dimensions), MOQ is 2 pieces. We welcome single-gate trial orders — many of our US clients start with 1–2 samples before scaling to container orders.

Production: 18–22 working days (standard). Sea freight from Tianjin to Los Angeles/Long Beach: 12–16 days. To New York/Savannah: 18–22 days. Total door-to-door typically 35–42 days. Air freight available (7–10 days total) for urgent orders.

We accept T/T (wire transfer), L/C at sight, PayPal (for samples), and Western Union. For first-time orders, we typically request 50% deposit, 50% before shipment. Long-term clients enjoy net-60 terms upon credit approval.

Yes, with a few important rules: we respect intellectual property and will not copy patented designs. However, if you have a photo of a gate style (e.g., "Tuscan scroll with spear tops"), we can create a custom, legally distinct interpretation that matches the aesthetic while improving structural performance. We've done this for 70+ clients.
