Our Story

In 2003, I started Pacific Gate Works out of my garage with one of my best friends. Our story success was born out of a high value for teamwork and innovative solutions to help our customers. Our innate drive to continuously improve ourselves was the ember. Working hard towards our goals fanned the flames. 

Fast forward to today, and those foundational pieces continue to be the backbone of PGW. Patience to truly understand the wants and needs of customers comes through time and learning.

Our experience and pride in the craft and doing it right are what you get when you buy one of our handcrafted outdoor gates. We specialize in building the best wooden gate, customized to your needs and preferences.  Every one of our custom-built walk-through and driveway wood gates features top-grade Western Red Cedar, our wood of choice for nearly 20 years because of its unsurpassed beauty and outdoor durability.

You might be starting a project from scratch or simply looking to replace an old, stuck gate with something you can rely on to work daily and withstand the seasons year after year. Whichever the case, you can trust us to help you get on the right path to the best wood gate solution. That’s what we do.
