These guides are written by the people who design, fabricate and install gates for a living. They cover how to choose between swing, slide and cantilever gates, what automation and access control actually involve, what fails first in Washington weather and how to keep a gate working, plus what installation costs and how the process runs from site visit to handover. Most are specific to Northwest Washington, from Skagit and Whatcom down to Snohomish, the islands and the Puget Sound.

Emerald Gate Systems is headquartered in Sedro-Woolley and serves residential and commercial clients across a broad region of northwest Washington. We travel to where the project is: whether that is a waterfront home on the San Juan Islands, a commercial building in Bellingham, or a 100-acre farm in the Skagit Valley.
