Your project in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen almost entirely surrounds the two Appenzells and stretches from Lake Constance to Lake Zurich. The city of St. Gallen is known for its old town with oriel-windowed houses and for many buildings from its textile era. Rapperswil and Jona, on the shore of Lake Zurich, combine a historic centre with newer residential districts. Wil and Gossau are busy regional centres, while in the Rhine Valley, Altstätten and Buchs lie close to the Austrian border. The Toggenburg, around Wattwil, is a hilly landscape of farms and timber chalets. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For an old house in a town centre, ask your municipality whether the planned work requires approval. Give the municipality and postcode and describe building access, whether the project is in town, by the lake or in the Toggenburg.
- For an oriel-windowed house in St. Gallen's old town, attach photos of the façade and windows.
- In the Toggenburg, say whether the house is isolated and how it can be reached in winter.
- On the shores of Lake Zurich or Lake Constance, describe access to the plot and the space available for materials.
Gates, fences and railings in the canton of St. Gallen
In the canton of St. Gallen, the diversity of landscapes is reflected in requests. In the cantonal capital, grand houses from the embroidery era, adorned with balconies and oriels, have old ironwork in need of restoration; the municipality will inform you of heritage requirements. On Lake Zurich, villas and condominium apartments readily opt for glass railings and automatic gates. In the Rhine Valley, family homes and fruit farms call for functional fences and barriers. In the Toggenburg, towards Wattwil, farmhouses scattered over the slopes need sturdy fences that can withstand the snow.
- For a town house in St. Gallen, ask for the new railings to follow the design of neighbouring ironwork to keep the street consistent.
- In the Toggenburg, plan self-closing pasture gates to stop livestock from escaping.

Frequently asked questions
What should I specify for a made-to-measure gate in St. Gallen?
Give the width of the opening, the slope of the ground and whether you want a swing or sliding gate. Specify the material, the style and whether you want motorisation or an intercom. Photos of the entrance help the company plan the installation.
What affects the choice between a sliding and a swing gate?
Available side space, ground slope and vehicle access affect how a gate can move. Provide photographs and approximate dimensions of the entrance. Ask the installer to assess foundations, clearances and controls before agreeing a layout, particularly where the gate opens near a shared route.
What should I compare in made-to-measure gates, fences and railings quotes?
Compare structure, finish, foundations and fitting, with motorisation and access controls separately specified. For railings, clarify the support and intended protective function. Ask how the completed installation is checked and which work on paving or adjoining surfaces is included.
How should I prepare for the made-to-measure gates, fences and railings visit or work?
Prepare a sketch of the entrance or edge to protect and mark known boundaries. Explain delivery and vehicle-access constraints. Keep access codes private, and agree permissions for shared property and any required specialist assessment before fabrication or site alterations proceed.
