Are these Gates "Solar" or "Electric"?
At Lucas Equine Equipment, we specialize in designing and manufacturing custom gates and steel support posts.

Since each gate requires a different level of durability, our team is here to help connect you with the right experts to ensure your gate operates flawlessly.

How Long Does A Gate Usually Take From Start To Finish?
Since every gate is unique, the timeline for completing a gate can vary based on its design complexity. Typically, we recommend allowing 3-4 weeks for the design phase and 10-12 weeks for manufacturing. This timeframe serves as a general estimate and helps us schedule your project efficiently. As you will be enjoying this stunning entry gate for decades to come, we'll make it worth the short wait!

What Do I Need To Consider When Making My Design?

1. Power Supply: You’ll need to plan for underground electric lines to power the gate operator if you choose an automated system.
2. Gate Support Structure: Decide whether you'd like to incorporate decorative rock columns on either side of the gate, or if you prefer a simpler setup with steel posts.
3. Installation: If you’re outside of Kentucky, you will need a local installer to set the steel posts, install the gates, and handle any other on-site labor required for the full installation process.

Considering these factors will help ensure a smooth, efficient installation and a gate that fits your needs. We are happy to consult with you to guide you to the best decisions for your property and budget
