LOCAL CONTEXT
What Playa Vista properties need.
Where association review applies, the submittal comes before fabrication. It should document height, material, finish, and the shared-facing elevation without promising approval before the association reviews the property-specific proposal.
A planned community of newer homes where private outdoor space is compact and association design review may apply; requirements must be confirmed for the property. Flat engineered lots with compact courtyards, roof decks, and shared walls or narrow separations.
- Wood, composite, and metal fence systems
- Driveway and pedestrian gates with coordinated posts and hardware
- Repair, replacement, and adjoining wall or hardscape transitions
Driveway gates and fence lines in Playa Vista
The verified Playa Vista project record documents an ornamental steel sliding gate with a wave-profile top rail, finials, decorative cutouts, black powder coat, and an All-O-Matic slide operator.
The flat, engineered lot left limited lateral clearance at the driveway entry, so a bottom-rolling slide configuration was used instead of a swing — the track rail is anchored flush to the paver driveway surface, running parallel to the existing pink-toned split-face masonry perimeter wall rather than crossing it.
Scale mattered as much as mechanism: the gate’s wave-profile top rail and spear finials are sized to match the existing wall height, so the finished approach reads as one continuous streetside profile rather than a gate added to a wall it does not relate to.

Ornamental Steel Sliding Driveway Gate Installation — Playa Vista
Completed November 2022- Scope
- Fency Builders Inc installed a custom ornamental steel sliding gate at a residential driveway entry in Playa Vista, California. The gate features a serpentine wave top rail with pointed spear finials and a lower horizontal rail with circular decorative cutouts, traveling on a ground-mounted track rail. An All-O-Matic motorized slide operator was mounted at the inside post to automate the gate.
- Materials
- The installation uses welded steel tube and flat bar construction with vertical pickets, a wave-profile top rail, spear-tip finials, circular ring details along the bottom rail, a galvanized ground track, flat black powder-coat finish throughout, and an All-O-Matic slide gate operator in a matching dark enclosure.
- Site challenge
- The flat, engineered lot typical of Playa Vista leaves the driveway entry with limited lateral clearance, requiring a sliding rather than swinging gate to avoid encroaching on the paved courtyard or adjacent hardscape. The existing pink-toned split-face masonry perimeter wall established a fixed structural boundary that the gate hardware and track had to integrate with precisely.
- How we solved it
- A bottom-rolling slide configuration was used, with the track rail anchored flush to the paver driveway surface so the gate travels parallel to the perimeter wall without consuming swing space. The All-O-Matic operator is positioned tight against the inside face of the end post, keeping mechanical components within the property boundary. The gate panel's wave top rail and spear finials are consistent in scale with the masonry wall height, maintaining a continuous streetside profile.
- Result
- The finished gate presents a uniform flat black powder-coat surface against the existing masonry wall, with ornamental detailing visible and mechanical hardware contained within the property line. The ground track, operator mounting, and gate alignment are all visibly level and plumb on the flat paver approach. Applicability of City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety requirements, Playa Vista community design guidelines, and HOA design review should be confirmed for any automated driveway gate of this type.

Fency repaired my fence and built and installed two new sliding gates. I really appreciate the excellent craftsmanship and the fair price. Most importantly, Jonathan oversaw the project with attention to detail and to my requests through to project completion.
Jonathan and his team did an amazing job with our new front yard fence driveway and pedestrian gates. They were professional. They were active. The fence is beautiful. It’s been enough of the envy of our neighborhood that we’ve received repeated request for contact information from Jonathan. We hope to see more of the same in our neighborhood as it’s really aesthetically pleasing cannot recommend him in his crew more highly. We hope to work with them again in the future as no needs arise thank you so much guys
