I'm Tony Whyte Owner & General Manager of the Victoria House Company. We Manufacture Gates under the Trade Names Southern Crossings Gates & GateBuilder Gate Frames.
We have superior products that are not well known. We have exhibited from time to time at Home Shows and the Southern California Landscape Contractors Expo. Our products have been well received and it's time to broaden our product reach.
The modularity of our frames is its real strength. The system is stronger than welded frames and much easier to install. Because our frames are modular they are also well suited to shipping at reasonable cost.
GateBuilder Frames are superior in strength because they are a true truss system as would be engineered for roof trusses or bridge construction. They are built of heavy duty materials that parlay into an amazingly light Wooden Gate once the wood facing material is applied. A GateBuilder frame is guaranteed not to sag and will outlast many generations of refacing.
If you are a Contractor, Handyman or Homeowner, you will never install a gate that will be easier or better performing.
We would like to be your Gate Supplier of Choice - Please give me a call

Tony Whyte

Steel Gate Frame for Wood & Vinyl Gates
"Beats Adjust-A-Gate Hands Down"
Steel for Strength! Trussing in both Compression & Tension prevents sag!
Gates are hung in cantilever. This means that the gate is supported at only one end. Because of this, especially for wider gates, the hinges must be strong, the frame must be strong and solid cross bracing within the frame is a must.
Most gate frames utilize a cable that spans from the top hinge corner to the bottom corner of the unsupported end of the gate. This approach attempts to control sag through tension by holding up the bottom corner of the unsupported end of the gate. This approach only addresses the force of tension that is being placed on the gate, but ignores the considerable compression force that is in play when a gate is installed. An approach, that only addresses tension, will work for a while until the cable stretches and/or the corners give way. The only way that this approach will work over time, is to install a support foot or wheel for the gate at the unsupported end.
A gate built with a true truss frame utilizes strong hinges, a strong frame with solid corner connections, and solid cross bracing (that cannot stretch) that extends from corner to corner each way. This addresses the forces of both tension and compression that is placed on the gate once it is installed. With this approach, a support foot or wheel will not be required.
Most of the popular steel gate frames offered for sale in the market are not utilizing true truss technology which is required to effectively address gate sag. .
