Flood gates driveway, garage and doorway gates built to your drawing
Flood gates close a known opening quickly: a panel lifts into fixed side frames or swings shut on hinges, compressing a gasket against the sill. StormForge manufactures aluminum and steel flood gates for installers, property developers and distributors who need consistent, drawing-based supply.

Flood gate formats
Lift-in flood gates are single panels stored nearby and dropped into permanent side channels when a flood warning is issued. Hinged / swing flood gates stay mounted beside the opening and close in seconds — useful for driveways and service entrances that need fast deployment. Plank-style gates stack multiple sections for wider or taller openings; see the flood barrier hub for stop-log systems.

Frequently asked questions
Are flood gates custom made?
Most are. We build to the opening width, height and sill detail on your drawing; distributors can also stock a set of standard widths.
Aluminum or steel flood gates?
Aluminum is lighter and corrosion resistant, which suits lift-in panels. Steel frames are chosen for larger or heavy-duty openings. We quote both.
Do you install flood gates?
No — we manufacture and supply. Installation is handled by your installers; we supply drawings and fixing kits.
Can flood gates be branded?
Yes, with engraved or printed logos on panels and branded crates or manuals.
Do your products carry FEMA, UL, ASTM or similar certification?
We do not claim any certification, approval or test rating by default. Products are built to the specification and standards the buyer names on the RFQ, and test reports can be provided on request where available. Ask about documentation on the inquiry form.
