Superior Gates
Experience has taught us welded frames are better
We use a welded gate frame that is both asthetically pleasing and true to the principals of mechanically engineered structural joints.

Although a welded gate frame is stronger than bolt or glue together gate frames, they do have one weakness. They are only as strong as the vinyl extrusion used to make them. Although the vinyl extrusion is more than strong enough under normal conditions, during high winds a free swinging gate can generate enough force to break. Some companies will put aluminum into the extrusion before welding, they claim that it makes the gate frame stronger. Since the aluminum in the different frame members are not connected, this is not the case. What actually occurs is the force is concentrated into the welded joint and failure occurs. If the aluminum in the different frame members where joined together an overall increase in strength could be realized. We spent years developing just that improvement, our BMFH1000 Gate Upgrade. We start with our welded gate frame. Next, we add aluminum to the frame members. Finally, our patented hinge acts as a reinforcing agent to the frame by bonding the aluminum and PVC gate members together.
