You’ve seen those great wooden gates at ranches with poles over the entrance. The Don Schmalz Fence Company in Cody, Wyoming is one of the best at making these and not only have a variety of designs but can pre-assemble and ship them as well.
From their website:
“We build them to suit what you want them to look like, and build them to last! We include in our prices for our Ranch gates, peeling of the logs (many times peeled in different ways to get the desired effect), treating the bases with CCA below ground treat; setting up of the structure, putting in doweled-end wood rail gates, with all the hardware, and treating the whole thing with log-oil such as UV-Plus, or the Golden-clear finish such as Messmers Wood Preservative/Stain!!
At times we construct post-and-rail , or Buck-and-rail fences to attach the Ranch gate to the lane, farmstead, or go all the way around the acreage with the same type and color scheme to give it the western look that few places can brag of having! We will construct the Ranch gate here in Wyoming and transport it to your home or ranch! We can then dig the holes and set the whole thing for you! We can also custom-build the rail-gates and ship them disassembled with the gate hardware to your favorite fencer or handyman – or with instructions for you to construct!
Large Pine Archways using trees that may be from 14″ to 40″ in diameter and 20 feet high!
Post and Rail
Buck and Rail Fence
Barbed Wire With Steel or Wood Posts
We also build hand-made rail gates for use in decorative fencing or for heavy use around livestock pens!”

Thank you Mr Beal for the feature in your latest Blog! I am advertising in many many large (and expensive) magazines and can’t get many customers lately. I have the interest, and last year sold 50-60 structures over the internet, but haven’t done so well this year with the economy and current administration!
Thank you again, and I hope this works!
