As Standard Gate Co's home base, Santa Monica is where we do our most frequent work. We know the city's requirements, neighborhoods, and unique challenges intimately.
Santa Monica Gate Considerations
Coastal Conditions
Santa Monica's ocean proximity affects gate equipment:
- Salt air accelerates corrosion
- Marine-grade materials recommended
- More frequent maintenance needed
- Stainless steel hardware preferred
City Requirements
Santa Monica has specific regulations for gates:
- Height restrictions in front yards
- Setback requirements
- Design review in some areas
- Permit requirements for new installations
