Carlsbad Hybrid Gate
Black Powder Coated Steel + Ipe • Custom Lever Handle
Black powder-coated steel frame with Ipe infill and custom lever — Carlsbad
This Carlsbad hybrid gate uses a fully welded black powder-coated steel frame with Ipe hardwood infill and a custom lever handle. The combination gives the strength and longevity of steel with the natural look and durability of Ipe.
Hybrid steel-and-hardwood gates are one of our favorite systems for coastal homes. The steel frame handles the structural loads and weather, while the Ipe provides a rich, low-maintenance surface that holds up for decades. We regularly add keypad or solar-powered operators so the gate can open automatically without running new electrical.
Custom Hybrid & Specialty Gates
Hybrid gates with a steel frame and hardwood or composite infill are built for lifetime durability in coastal conditions. The steel provides rigidity and security; the wood or composite gives the finished look and resists rot. These gates work for pedestrian entries, driveway access, and pool or garden enclosures.
We also build slatted composite hybrids, cable gates, and glass panel gates depending on the privacy and view requirements. Most can be fitted with custom handles, keypads, or solar-powered openers. Because fabrication is done in-house, the frame, hardware, and finish are matched to the specific opening and exposure.
