Retrofit to Compliant: Bringing Old Pool Gates Up to Code

TL;DR Most pool-gate failures boil down to three fixable things: the gate won’t self-close and self-latch every time, the latch height/reach isn’t kid-safe, or gaps/footholds make the latch easy to defeat. You rarely need a new fence line—just smarter hinges, a magnetic self-latch in the right spot (or inside-only with shielding), and reach-control plates. Below […]

Ornamental Iron: Powder Coated Classes, Rust Control & Wind Gaps

TL;DR An ornamental fence made of ornamental iron delivers a slim, premium look that stands up to Austin sun and sudden wind—if you spec the right powder-coat class, protect cut/weld points, and design wind gaps that don’t turn panels into sails. For most homes, a duplex finish (hot-dip galvanizing + zinc-rich primer + super-durable polyester
