Overview
About the Arched Top Cedar Gate
An arched top cedar driveway gate features cedar pickets cut to progressively increasing heights from the sides to the center, creating a smooth curved arch profile across the top of the gate panel. The arch can be subtle (a gentle curve with modest height variation) or dramatic (a high center peak that rises 12-18 inches above the side pickets). Arched top gates are the most architecturally refined wood gate style — they communicate quality and attention to design in a way that flat-top gates cannot.
Arched cedar gates are particularly striking on Houston properties with brick or stone pillars flanking the driveway entrance. The arch profile mirrors the arched top often used on gates between iron fences, translating that formal elegance into warm natural wood. Double-panel arched gates — with matching arch profiles on both panels — create a symmetrical, formal entrance.
Materials & Construction
Arch is CNC-cut or hand-cut to a precise radius. Pickets (1×6 cedar) are set in graduated heights with a continuous arc profile. Frame members are 2×4 cedar. Back brace ensures the panel doesn't rack. Posts are 6-inch pressure-treated with galvanized post caps. Heavy-duty hinges rated for the panel weight. Cedar gate receives penetrating oil or stain finish.
All Mustang Fencing wood gates are built in our Houston shop using kiln-dried lumber. Posts are 4×4 or 4×6 pressure-treated pine set in concrete footings. Heavy-duty galvanized or stainless hinges prevent rust in Houston's humid climate. We apply a penetrating oil or exterior-grade paint finish standard, with staining and clear-coat available.
Key Features
Architectural Refinement
The swept arch profile is the single most effective design upgrade for a wood gate. The visual sophistication of an arched gate far exceeds its cost over a flat-top gate.
Custom Arch Options
We offer gentle curves, dramatic peaks, Gothic pointed arches, and compound arch profiles. Single or double panel, with the arch profile perfectly mirrored on both sides of a double gate.
Estate Quality
Arched cedar gates are the standard for Houston estate properties and custom homes. They are the gate choice when curb appeal is a priority and the property deserves more than a standard configuration.
Houston Climate Treated
All wood is kiln-dried and treated for Houston's heat, humidity, and UV. Penetrating oil or exterior paint finish resists moisture warping and rot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can both panels of a double swing gate have matching arches?
Yes — for a double swing arched gate, we create two panels with perfectly matching arch profiles so the combined appearance creates a unified arched entrance when both panels are closed.
Does the arch affect gate strength?
No — the arch cut is on the top edge of the pickets, above the structural frame. The frame geometry is unchanged, and the brace member maintains the gate's structural integrity.
