Absolutely. Bell’s designs and builds custom wood entry gates that enhance curb appeal while providing security.

Vinyl gates are highly popular in North Central Florida because they are 100% waterproof and UV-resistant. They won’t rot, rust, or require painting. Bell’s reinforces vinyl gate frames with internal aluminum or steel stiffeners to ensure they maintain their shape and don’t warp in the intense Florida heat.
Yes, Bell’s provides galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link gates for residential and commercial use. These range from standard walk-through gates for backyards to large cantilever or sliding gates for commercial properties in Lake City and Palatka that require high-traffic security.
While Bell’s focuses on the structural installation of the gate and posts, they ensure the gate is “automation-ready.” They install the heavy-duty posts and balanced gate frames required for third-party automatic or solar-powered opening systems, providing the necessary foundation for a motorized entry.
Bell’s Outdoor Services provides expert consultations to determine the ideal width based on your needs. For standard vehicles, a 10-12 foot opening is common, while agricultural entries for hay trucks or wide implements may require 14-16 foot gates or double-gate configurations.
