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.

Custom Breeding Stall

Americans run farms, barns, and ranches with loving care as well as careful budgeting. Buying barn and farm equipment at the end of the fiscal year is a wise choice for business-savvy farmers, horse trainers, and ranchers. The right purchases now could add up to year-end savings and opportunities for business tax deductions.

Based in Ocala, Double R Manufacturing is ready to help you make the best buying decisions. Our team is prepared to design and deliver the equipment and products you’ll need for 2023.

Custom-Made Equipment for Horse Farms and Facilities

National Horse Day is held during December, but Double R believes every day is important for promoting safe and comfortable equine settings. Our specialty services include custom-made equipment for horse farms, stables, horse tracks, and training facilities.

Generally, the most essential barn and stall equipment includes stall doors, stall-window bars, shutters, grills, blanket bars, racks, and other durable hardware items that can handle rugged conditions.  Double R manufactures and delivers those items, but we can also recommend special customizations for size, design, colors, ornamental accents, images, or logos.

Built-to-Last Barn Accessories and Farm Essentials

Farmers and ranchers need barn accessories and robust farm equipment to maintain proper living conditions for livestock, horses, and farm animals. That is why Double R manufactures heavy-duty products deemed superior to generic items sold by big-box stores and retailers.

For example, Double R’s skilled manufacturing processes include sandblasting, welding, water jet cutting, custom fabrication, and rust-inhibiting powder coatings to create the perfect solution for sheltering, feeding, and breeding. This includes doors, window grills, stall-breeding stocks, and sliding shutters as well as custom-built stairs, banisters, and railings.

Barn Signage, Property Markers, and Sturdy Gates

Of course, gates are critical for protecting property, but property markers like exterior signs for farms, interior barn signage, and other signs are also safe investments for your business.

Moreover, entrance gates and exit gates with security features will help ensure safe and secure settings for you, trainers, farmhands, staff, and visitors. Double R’s team welcomes you to reach out to us for help with custom projects, equipment, and products featuring logos, accents, and other specifications for your farm, barn, or ranch.

National Manufacturing Day is recognized on October 1st, but Double R Manufacturing celebrates skilled manufacturers every day of the year.

In today’s global marketplace, customers have countless options when buying products and equipment. There are many incentives, however, for working with highly skilled manufacturers as opposed to buying generic items from production lines. With over 75 years of combined experience in high-quality design and fabrication, our team is noting the value-added benefits of choosing skilled manufacturing services.

TRUSTED RELIABILITY IN SKILLED MANUFACTURING

First, it is important to mention the current state of the U.S. manufacturing industry. The sector has endured international supply chain disruptions due to world events over the past few years. Many big-box retailers and foreign suppliers have simply come up short.

Fortunately, with Double R’s Florida-based team staying focused on meeting our customers’ demands, our skilled manufacturers have managed to surpass expectations in terms of quality, reliability, delivery, and assembly for the perfect fit.

SKILLED WORKMANSHIP OUTSHINES MASS PRODUCTION

As opposed to automation and robotics, a skilled manufacturer brings the knowledge and creative experience to ensure each design is up to your standards. Every piece is worked on until it is deemed flawless by a skilled eye. Unlike robotic assembly lines, highly trained men and women can leverage their hands-on expertise in sandblasting, waterjet-cutting, welding, powder coating, and other skills to transform a boring piece of metal into a shining work of art.

Also, Double R Manufacturing can create one piece or a batch of thousands for individuals, businesses, and organizations across the nation. Large-quantity orders are no problem. The special incentive for choosing Double R for large quantities is that we can mass produce products that are totally customized for your needs. Most big-box stores and suppliers with generic product lines cannot make that promise.

BEST STANDARDS IN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING 

What is most enticing is the functionality and longevity of Double R’s materials and products.  Our skilled manufacturers use superior forms of metal, steel, wood, and other materials to design and build the most durable solutions.

To sum it up, there are many incentives to choose Double R Manufacturing. We design fences, gates, stairs, railings, stall doors, barn equipment, shutters, tables, benches, carts, racks, bridges, trailers, grills, BBQs, yard art, signage, and other manufactured items. The best incentive of all is that it all can be customized with limitless colors and specifications.

Have we incentivized you to choose our high-quality services? Call Double R Manufacturing at (800) 813-3361 to learn more about customized products and equipment.

American artists include painters, photographers, designers, sculptors, and many other talented specialists.  From wall art to custom product design and equipment manufacturing, Double R’s artisans are proud to help customers bring their artistic visions to life through waterjet cutting.

Fabricated Signs

Signage that stands out is essential for attracting attention during the summer months. That is why Double R Manufacturing is delivering sensible solutions and ideas for updating signs at your homes, businesses, parks, medical facilities, campuses, buildings, and other properties.

New Signs and Customized Designs to Make a Mark

  1. New Notices and Alerts: First and foremost, the most practical reason to update signage is to provide new notices and alerts.  Whether you have updated safety guidelines for on-site customers, or there are new directions needed for navigating a property – a new sign is a practical way to keep everyone safe and informed.
  2. Property Markers: The real estate market has been booming with the sale and transfer of properties big and small.  It makes sense that requests are soaring for exterior signage, interior directory signs, construction signs, and many other types of property markers.
  3. Start-Up Signage: Many new businesses are launching or re-opening, and Double R is providing customized signage to help them stand out from the crowd.  If you have a new business starting up this summer, a professional sign with your logo and customized branding is the answer for attracting prospective clients and customers.
  4. Summer Sales: Wall signs, banners, and other types of interior and exterior signs can help businesses advertise the latest sales and promotions. Depending on your unique goals, the possibilities are almost limitless for impressive styles and color customizations.
  5. Personalized Signs: Artfully, Double R’s in-house design team can produce gift-worthy signage customized with special patterns, names, or monograms. Create a custom sign with your last name for the big family reunion this summer, a unique sign for your barn, or a special gift of signage for a friend.
  6. Specialty Signage: At Double R, our designers use a wide range of materials and high-end tools to build special-order pieces for clients. Specialty signage includes custom stone, glass, wood, or metal signs.  For example, we create signs for glass cases to display trophies at schools as well as signs for boards in the employee breakroom at businesses.
  7. Weather-Resistant Signs: During the heat, humidity, and stormy conditions of summer, it is important to mention that sturdiness matters. Double R makes durability a top priority when designing built-to-last signage, including sensible signs with weather-proof design and rust-resistant powder coatings.

Double R Manufacturing takes pride in offering custom fabrication and design of one-of-a-kind signs. View our Signage Gallery [https://doublermfg.com/gallery/signage/].
