What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
Lots and storage yards
Entry and exit lanes for business parking, RV and boat storage, and equipment yards.
Private roads and drives
A lane arm at the turn-in where a full gate would be too slow for the traffic.
Paired with fence or a gate
Fence or a slide gate beside the arm so nobody drives around it, and a gate that can lock it up after hours.
Readers, keypads and loops
Access on the way in, a loop or sensor on the way out, and a safety loop under the arm.

Why people call about this.
The gate cycles all day
A swing or slide gate wears out fast at a busy entrance. An arm is built for constant use.
People park who should not
An arm keeps a lot for the customers, tenants or residents it is meant for.
You need to know who came in
A reader or keypad at the arm puts every entry on a code or a card.
ENNIS, TX
Barrier Arm Gates in Ennis: what’s different here.
Ennis is a railroad town of about 20,000 people (2020 census) in eastern Ellis County, 35 miles south of Dallas on I-45, founded by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871 and settled heavily by Czech and Slovak families. It is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas and is growing, with new subdivisions on the edge of town and acre-plus homesites out in the county. The City of Ennis code FAQ says fences under 8 feet do not need a permit, but asks owners to call the Inspections Department (972-875-6442) first to confirm setbacks; HOA guidelines still apply in the newer subdivisions, and Texas811 locates are needed before any post holes.
Gates & Operators in Ennis
Out on Ennis acreage the drive gate usually sits at the road with the power up at the house, so it is often a wide double-swing or slide gate sized for a stock trailer or equipment and run by a solar operator, while gates in the newer subdivisions are closer to the house and simpler to wire.
The ground
Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay (the Kachina Prairie preserve in town protects a remnant of it), which swells in a wet spring and cracks open in August, so post depth and concrete matter more than the boards on top.
Homes and lots
Older frame houses on the streets around downtown, newer HOA subdivisions such as Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms and Christian Meadows, and acre-plus homesites off SH-34, US-287 and the county roads toward Lake Bardwell.
