Based in tropical Florida, Double R’s experts understand the necessity of precision manufacturing for creating high-quality products to outlast the wind, rain, and storms. From the start, custom items and precise parts must be manufactured, prepared, and protected against the effects of rugged weather.

In recognition of National Preparedness Month this September, Double R Manufacturing and our CNC Machining experts are explaining the most protective benefits of customized products for residential homes, commercial businesses, farms, ranches, and other properties.

Machining, Precise Parts, and Custom-Fitted Designs

Machining experts and skilled manufacturers can create precise parts and custom-fitted designs to promote the sturdiness and longevity of products, equipment, and other items.

Weak materials and poorly fitted parts are the most susceptible to damage during storms or disasters. Many property owners can prevent a disaster before it strikes by opting for more durable products. Double R creates custom designs for manufactured pieces made with sturdy metals, steel, aluminum, and versatile plastics.

At Double R, we have skilled experts in CNC machining, manual machining, metal fabrication, sandblasting, abrasive waterjet cutting, precision welding, and many other processes to ensure functionality, while also improving abilities to withstand environmental conditions. These processes are crucial for building essentials like security gates, signage, stairs, fences, railings, shutters, doors, trailers, carts, tables, benches, and other pieces.

Weather-Resistant Equipment and Powder Coatings

Additionally, Double R adds powder coatings and special finishes for weather-resistant equipment. Lesser-quality items from big-box stores might seem like a bargain, but those could chip or fall apart in certain climates, costing you more money to replace down the road.

Through precision manufacturing from Double R, customers can reap the long-lasting benefits of hardwearing finishes and protective coatings in thousands of available colors and styles. Custom powder coatings help to prevent corrosion and prevent rust.

With over 75 years of combined experience in design and fabrication, Double R is prepared to manufacture, assemble, and deliver your unique items as well as provide fast turnaround on large-scale production runs.

We work with individuals and corporations on projects big and small.  Call Double R Manufacturing today at 1-800-813-3361 OR contact Double R’s machining experts at 352-873-1441 to learn more about our array of services and products.

Custom Metal Fabrication

Each year, new design trends begin to form. The team at Double R Manufacturing is busy designing pieces in the newest styles, but we are also forming a few of our own trends through metal customizations.

For the latest 2023 designs, someone may ask us to restore a metal item by applying a vibrant powder-coating color like Viva Magenta, which is Pantone’s Color of the Year. Better yet, let us explain how our fabrication experts will design around your visions for custom-built pieces.

Customizing and Fabricating Metal Products and Equipment

Across the nation, there is a growing demand for sleek metal products, equipment, accessories, stylish furniture, hardware, and accents.  Specifically, when customizing equipment, the most-desired materials include steel, stainless steel, sheet metal, aluminum, and brass.

As trends in 3D printing and digital arts emerge, it is clear the highest quality pieces still require the creativity and experience of skilled manufacturers. Hands-on experts know the complex techniques needed for cutting, bending, assembling, and delivering top-of-the-line products.

When fabricating metal products and equipment, certain pieces may need to be sandblasted, casted, molded, sheared, bent, folded, welded, stamped, pressed, or processed in any number of techniques to achieve the desired results for our customers.

At Double R, we can customize single or mass quantities of items for residential customers, commercial enterprises, public entities, farms, or ranches.

Plus, we stay up to date on the latest styles, features, and trends for essential equipment like security gates, doors, fences, stairs, railings, shutters, barn accessories, stalls, and countless other manufactured products.

Metal Restoration and Personalization of Special Pieces

In addition to essential products and equipment, Double R provides restoration and personalization. We can restore special pieces, add branding, and manufacture brand new items like signage, carts, trailers, shelves, racks, bars, tables, benches, yard art, wall art, gun/storage boxes, small bridges, and custom barbeque grills.

In recent years, there has been new design trends in metal restoration. Rather than disposing of old or rusty pieces, many people want to repurpose or restore items for new uses. Double R can help you restore a family heirloom or re-color and add design features to special pieces.

With 75 years of combined experience in design and fabrication, Double R Manufacturing’s metal-fabrication specialists are ready to manufacture your 2023 products in the latest materials, colors, styles, sizes, and specifications for your unique needs.

Whether we work with an individual or a corporation, one piece or thousands, we enjoy bringing your product visions to life. Call Double R Manufacturing today at (800) 813-3361 to learn more.

Creativity in manufacturing, specifically, is where Double R’s team shines. Our skilled manufacturers and artisans love bringing your visions to life and thinking outside the box when designing, creating, and building. Consider these reasons to choose our creative team:

  1. Creative Design Improves the Fit and Functionality of Items

In celebration of President’s Day each February, many stores hold retail sales and boast discounts on furniture and other items for homes and businesses. As a promotional strategy intended to clear showrooms for new inventory, those clearance prices sometimes lure shoppers into buying low-quality items that savvy shoppers simply passed on last season.

Rather than mistaking a subpar purchase for a bargain, the experts at Double R Manufacturing are explaining the benefits of opting for high-quality design, durability, and custom value.

Value of Custom-Built Furniture, Tables, Bars, Benches, and More

In terms of quality, you cannot beat the value of custom-built furniture, tables, bars, benches, and other items for your homes and businesses.

Often, retail sales and marked-down prices occur because items are flimsy, ill fitting, quick-to-chip, or lack longevity.  Even worse, some “mark-downs” are not a deal at all.  There are retailers that keep their “regular prices” extra high to give the illusion of a lower price during sales on President’s Day and other holidays.

As a better option, Double R custom builds high-quality pieces according to your specific budget and unique needs. Double R’s skilled artisans and engineers account for the value of proper fitting, aesthetics, durability, and longevity when it comes to the delivery of customized products and equipment for customers across the United States.

Budgeting for Built-to-Last Equipment and Products

Whether working with an individual on a budget for one perfect piece of equipment, or a corporation budgeting for a large quantity of customized products, Double R Manufacturing will surpass expectations.  We work hard to ensure the design and fabrication is superior in quality to mass-produced items from manufacturing competitors and retailers.

In addition to furnishings, our priceless catalog of built-to-last pieces includes equipment, products, signage, fencing, gates, stairs, railings, stall doors, shutters, barbeques, trailers, and countless other manufactured items with custom value for satisfied customers.

From sandblasting to waterjet cutting and welding, Double R builds items made of wood, top-quality steel, metal, and other durable materials topped with rust-inhibiting powder coatings in a limitless array of colors, styles, and designs.  Lesser-quality pieces lingering in a showroom simply can’t compete in terms of value.  We create indoor and outdoor works-of-art that hold their value and stand the test of time.

Custom Art

In celebration of Florida Manufacturing Month this October, the Ocala-based team at Double R Manufacturing is drawing the parallels between manufacturing and artful flair.

What began as an annual one-day event to inspire the next generation of manufacturers, has now grown to be a monthlong celebration highlighting the artistic talents and skilled services provided by the American Manufacturing industry. In a world of big-box stores and mass-produced items, this is an important reminder that skilled manufacturing is a true artform.

Artistic Approach to Manufacturing Custom-Made Products

With over 75 combined years of design and fabrication experience, Double R Manufacturing’s experts are providing these artful tips for customers considering custom-made products.

  • Don’t be afraid to start from scratch. Forcing a low-value, assembly-line type of item into a space is not your only option. Skilled manufacturers are prepared to design, assemble, and deliver customized pieces created for your needs and specifications.
  • Use your imagination. Custom fabrication is all about making something unique and one-of-a-kind. Do not limit yourself with something that fits a space but fails to look great, or vice versa. Just imagine the perfect piece providing both functionality and beauty.
  • Share your ideas for design. Artists know conversation leads to innovation. Our engineering department wants to help accomplish your greatest goals. You may offer a CAD file, size requirements, or simply describe your ideas for a totally unique design.
  • Consider limitless options for fine-tuning. Double R’s engineers and craftsmen have honed extraordinary skills in sandblasting, waterjet cutting, welding, and other techniques for bending, assembling, and delivering fine-tuned products.
  • Get creative with the final touches. A final powder coating will add a superior surface quality, longevity, and corrosion prevention. What’s more is that powder coating also offers an infinite array of colors and styles. Most artistically, be sure to also add a logo, ornamental accent, monogram, or graphic to personalize your one-of-a-kind piece.

Customized Equipment, Products, and Specialty Pieces

Customers across Florida and the United States trust Double R Manufacturing for decorative products and essential equipment like doors, entrance gates, fences, railings, stairs, small bridges, barn equipment, and breeding stalls. The list doesn’t stop there. Custom signage, tables, bars, benches, carts, trailers, grills, wall art, yard art, and other specialty pieces are also popular requests from both commercial and residential customers.

Custom Metal Work

Steel is a versatile metal that deserves to be celebrated in terms of strength.  As many experts in the American steel industry plan to recognize National Steel Day on Sept. 24 this year, the Florida-based team at Double R Manufacturing is explaining why and how homeowners and businessowners like you can heavily rely on strong and sturdy products made of steel.

Custom-Built Processes for Steel and Metal Structures

The main objective of Double R’s specialists is to customize built-to-last products and deliver the most durable equipment. Consistently, high-quality steel supports us in accomplishing this goal and surpassing customer expectations across the United States.

  • Generally, steel is categorized into four main types: Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Tool Steel, and Stainless Steel. These types include various combinations of iron, carbon, and other elements. A type of steel or other material is determined by the specific project needs.
  • Double R’s team specializes in custom-built processes for gates, fences, doors, stairs, railings, signage, shutters, grills, tables, bars, benches, shelving, barn accessories, breeding stalls, trailers, carts, grills, tanks, boxes, and other one-of-a-kind pieces.
  • Typically, the design process will start with a customer explaining their goals or supplying us a CAD file to create custom-built solutions for commercial enterprises, public entities, residential homes, farms, and ranches.
  • Uniquely, each project has different processes for creation. Customization of steel or metal structures may include casting, molding, cutting, shearing, punching, bending, welding, joining, stamping, pressing, end-tube forming, beading, machining, or other processes.

Steel Specialists and Metal Fabrication Experts

Extraordinarily, in addition to customized processes for creating incredibly unique designs, Double R’s steel specialists and metal fabrication experts also have skilled training in powder coating, sandblasting, and abrasive waterjet cutting.

For example, using a high-pressure stream of water with abrasive particles, Double R’s waterjet cutting process allows for the precise cutting of shapes in various metals, including stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, and other materials.

As for sandblasting, Double R’s experts can forcibly shape a piece of metal, etch a design on a metal surface, or clean corrosion off an old rusty piece of metal.  Sandblasting is also used to smooth a metal surface for applying durable sealants and colorful powder coatings to ensure your unique piece stands the test of time.

Customized Entry Gate

The word “sturdy” refers to something strongly and solidly built.  At Double R Manufacturing, we design each piece of equipment with sturdiness in mind.

Based in Ocala, Double R Manufacturing understands that sturdiness is critical for outdoor equipment during this peak of Florida’s hurricane season.  Durability is also a year-round necessity for any products facing humid, windy, or rainy conditions.  Additionally, the harsh conditions of northern winters demand weather-resistant materials and tough coatings on products. All in all, wherever you are located, sturdy manufacturing matters to homeowners, business owners, and farmers across America.

Top 2 Sturdy Distinctions of Manufactured Products

It is easy to know when something is not sturdy.  The piece may feel flimsy, or you may spot chipping.  Ill-fitting parts and breakage are also indicators of low-quality products and poorly produced pieces of equipment.  In contrast, Double R Manufacturing sets a higher standard in manufacturing. Here are two telltale signs of sturdy manufacturing and high-quality design:

  1. Durable Products and Materials: A sturdy product will weather the storm. Double R manufactures products and equipment using high-quality steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Additionally, Double R’s experts will add a professional coat of rust-inhibiting powder coating.  Powder coatings are available in thousands of colors to create beautifully finished products. Customers have limitless possibilities in manufacturing styles with hardwearing finishes to last throughout the seasons.
  2. Skilled Engineering and Design: Double R’s craftsmen and skilled engineers strive to ensure each design is superior in quality. Depending on the project, fabrication and assembly of customized pieces may include skilled techniques, including: sandblasting, water jet cutting, casting, molding, cutting, shearing, punching, bending, folding, welding, stamping, pressing, end-tube forming, beading, machining, assembling, or other processes to ensure a proper fit, impeccable style, total functionality, and strength.
