How thick should MS tubes be for compound gates?

Main frame members should be minimum 40x40mm or 50x25mm hollow sections with 2mm wall thickness. Infill tubes/bars for decorative panels can be 25x25mm or 20x20mm. Heavier industrial gates require 60x60mm or 75x40mm sections.

What is better for gates: MS with powder coating or SS 304?

MS with quality powder coating (80+ microns) is cost-effective for dry/inland climates, lasting 12-15 years. SS 304 is preferable for high-humidity or coastal environments despite higher upfront cost (2-3x MS), as it eliminates maintenance and lasts 25+ years rust-free.

Can I get custom designer gates made through Trade4Asia?

Yes. Several Trade4Asia listed fabricators specialize in custom-design gates with CAD design support, sample mockup approval, and project-specific fabrication. Designs can be based on your sketches, architectural drawings, or chosen from their portfolio.

What is the typical lead time for custom fabricated gates?

Standard design gates: 7-15 working days. Custom ornamental/decorative gates: 20-35 working days. Industrial heavy gates: 15-25 working days. Lead times depend on complexity, coating process, and delivery distance.

Is powder coating better than normal paint for gates?

Yes. Powder coating provides 3-5x longer life than conventional paint, higher impact and scratch resistance, and more uniform finish. Quality powder coating (60-80 microns, properly pre-treated) is the industry standard for outdoor steel products in India.
