Ask for a custom steel gate in Kisii and you will get very different answers depending on who cuts it. The pattern, the frame behind the pattern and the finish all decide whether the gate still looks and moves well in five years.
Step 1: pick the gate type
- Sliding gate - best where the driveway is short and there is a run of wall to slide along.
- Double swing gate - classic look, needs clear space to open inward or outward.
- Pedestrian gate - usually matched to the main gate pattern.
- Gate with matching panels - the same design continued along the wall or balcony.
Step 2: choose the pattern
Because patterns are cut from a file, you are not limited to what is welded by hand. Popular choices include floral and leaf motifs, geometric and Greek-key borders, wildlife panels, and clean modern louvre or slat looks. You can bring a photo, choose from our design library, or ask us to draw something around your house style.

Step 3: get the frame right
The decorative face is the part people notice; the frame is the part that fails first when it is under-specified. For gates we look at opening width, whether the ground is level, wind exposure, hinge or wheel type, and whether an automatic opener will be fitted later. A gate built for a motor from day one saves rework.
Step 4: finish for the weather
Bare steel in Nyanza rain will show within a season. Surfaces are degreased and primed, then painted or powder coated. Tell us the colour you want and whether the gate faces direct sun and rain, and we will recommend the coating.
