BI-FOLD GATES · MIDLOTHIAN
Bi-Fold Gates in Midlothian, TX
Bi-fold gates whose leaves fold in half as they open — for short drives and tight openings where a full swing gate will not clear. We work across Midlothian — Lawson Farms, Villages of Walnut Grove, Massey Meadows and the surrounding area.
SCOPE

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.
Single and double bi-folds
One folding leaf or a pair, depending on the width of the opening.
Folding hinge hardware
Heavy hinges between panels, with a guide so the fold stays in line.
Any infill
Iron pickets, steel bar, cedar or solid panels, matched to the fence.
Built for an operator

Why people call about this.
The drive is too short to swing
If a swing gate would hit the car or the garage, a bi-fold needs about half the room.
There is no room to slide
Slide gates need fence line beside the opening. A bi-fold does not.
It opens faster
Shorter panels open quicker than one long leaf, which matters at a busy drive.
MIDLOTHIAN, TX
Bi-Fold Gates in Midlothian: what’s different here.
Midlothian is a fast-growing city in northwest Ellis County, about 25 miles southwest of Dallas where US-67 meets US-287, up from 35,125 people at the 2020 census to an estimated 41,000 in 2023. It is the center of the North Texas cement industry, with three cement plants and a steel mill, and new master-planned subdivisions have spread across the prairie around the older downtown, with Joe Pool Lake to the northwest. The City of Midlothian requires a fence permit with a site plan showing property lines, easements, right-of-way and existing buildings (Building Inspections, 215 N. 8th Street, 972-775-7161), master-planned subdivisions typically add HOA guidelines, and Texas811 locates come before any digging.
Gates & Operators in Midlothian
Midlothian drive gates are mostly side-yard gates on subdivision lots that need HOA approval and enough width for a trailer, plus entrances on larger lots at the edge of town, and gate posts set in shallow rock have to be socketed into it rather than sat on top so a heavy gate stays plumb.
The ground
The Austin Chalk escarpment runs north to south through Midlothian, so depending on the side of town a post hole can hit shallow limestone within a couple of feet or go down through heavy clay, and rock often has to be augered or broken to reach full depth.
Homes and lots
Mostly newer single-family subdivisions such as Lawson Farms, Villages of Walnut Grove, Massey Meadows and Hawkins Meadow, a smaller stock of older homes near downtown, and larger lots and acreage on the edges of town.
