Fort Lauderdale Gate Pros provides professional wrought iron gates in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. Real iron near the water is a commitment rather than a purchase. Chloride finds steel through any break in the coating, and on a lot off the Intracoastal that first break arrives a good deal sooner than the brochure photograph suggests.
What kills an iron gate here is the inside of the tube. Pickets and rails are hollow, humid air condenses in them, and rust works from the inside out until a rail lets go at a weld that looked perfect from the driveway. Weep holes at the low point of every horizontal member cost nothing during fabrication and are almost never present on a gate that arrived in a container. ASTM A385 asks for exactly that venting.
If you want iron, buy the coating system along with it. Hot dip galvanizing under the powder is the honest specification within sight of the water, and it only holds up if nobody drills or cuts the gate afterward. Every field hole punched through the zinc has to be treated at the hole itself, or that hole becomes the place the gate starts to fail. Treat it with a zinc rich repair to ASTM A780.
Then accept a schedule. Rinse the gate with fresh water when you rinse the boat, look closely at the bottom rail and the hinge barrels twice a year, and touch up chips in the season they appear instead of the season after. Owners who keep that habit keep iron looking right for a long time. Owners who do not are pricing a replacement inside six years. Fresh water dissolves the chloride film; a cloth only spreads it.
If that schedule is not something you will really keep, tell us now and we will build the identical design in aluminum with forged detail. On the water that is not a compromise, it is the better material, and the only thing you give up is the weight in your hand when you push the leaf open. A 6063-T6 extrusion with cast ornament reads as iron from the street and holds its finish for a decade.
Two places tell you where an iron gate is in its life. Look at the bottom rail from underneath, where water sits and the weep hole should be, and look at the hinge barrels where the pin turns. Blistering under the powder at either point means the steel beneath has already gone, and the gate needs stripping rather than touching up. Catch it in the first three years and the repair is a shop day.
Inland Broward is a different conversation entirely. Out in Davie or Sunrise, painted steel behaves the way steel behaves in any warm wet climate, and the galvanizing upcharge there is genuinely optional rather than structural.

Materials, equipment and how we do wrought iron gates
The difference between wrought iron gates that lasts and wrought iron 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, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, 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 Fort Lauderdale 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 Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
