A well-designed gate should feel like a seamless extension of your deck—not an afterthought. Our custom-built stair and deck gates provide discreet safety, code compliance, and refined craftsmanship that complements your home and landscape.
Built-to-fit (not off-the-shelf): Each of our gates is crafted to fit the exact opening and blend seamlessly with your railing style. We can retrofit your existing deck or stairs or add gates to your new build.
Safety & durability: We design and build our gates to meet residential guardrail safety standards, including proper height and gap spacing to protect little heads and fingers. Proper hinge alignment, structural reinforcement, and secure anchoring for long-term performance.
Premium materials: We can build with hardwoods (e.g., Accoya, ipe), aluminum or treated lumber to match existing structures. We source durable hinges & latches to withstand lakeshore conditions.
If you're interested in how DRS could add custom gates to your stairs and decks, contact Nick today (nick@dunedrs.com or 616 490 2487).
