At Double R Manufacturing, we understand that farming and ranching operations require specialized equipment and infrastructure that can withstand the demanding conditions of agricultural work. Our custom metal fabrication services are designed to meet the unique challenges faced by agricultural professionals, providing durable, practical solutions that enhance efficiency and productivity on your property.

Built for Agricultural Demands

Agricultural equipment and infrastructure face constant exposure to weather, heavy use, and harsh conditions. That’s why our fabrication approach focuses on creating robust solutions using quality materials and proven construction techniques. Whether you’re running a small family farm or managing a large-scale ranching operation, we have the expertise to deliver custom metalwork that performs reliably season after season.

Cattle Guards: Safe and Effective Livestock Management

Cattle guards are essential for maintaining secure boundaries while allowing vehicle access across your property. Our custom-fabricated cattle guards are engineered to handle heavy farm equipment and livestock traffic while providing long-lasting performance.

We design cattle guards to meet your specific requirements, considering factors like expected traffic load, livestock type, and installation location. Our fabrication process ensures proper spacing and structural integrity, giving you peace of mind that your livestock boundaries remain secure while maintaining convenient access for vehicles and equipment.

Custom Feeders and Water Systems

Feeding operations are central to successful livestock management, and standard feeders often don’t meet the specific needs of every operation. Our custom feeder fabrication service allows you to optimize feeding efficiency for your particular livestock and management style.

From hay feeders designed to minimize waste to specialized grain feeders that accommodate different animal sizes, we create feeding solutions that work with your operation rather than against it. We can also fabricate custom water trough systems and feeding barriers that improve organization and reduce maintenance requirements.

Equipment Repair and Modification Services

Farm and ranch equipment represents a significant investment, and when breakdowns occur, quick repairs are essential to keep operations running smoothly. Our fabrication capabilities extend to equipment repair and modification services, helping you extend the life of your existing machinery and adapt it to changing needs.

Whether you need replacement parts for older equipment, structural repairs to damaged implements, or modifications to improve functionality, our team can work with you to develop cost-effective solutions that get you back to work quickly.

Custom Farm Gates and Fencing Solutions

While we’ve previously discussed our entry gate systems, our agricultural gate solutions focus on the practical needs of day-to-day farm operations. We fabricate sturdy field gates, corral gates, and specialized access gates that can handle frequent use by both livestock and heavy equipment.

Our agricultural fencing solutions include custom panels, gates, and specialized barriers designed for livestock management. These installations are built to withstand the pressure and wear that comes with active agricultural use while providing the flexibility needed for efficient farm operations.

Specialized Agricultural Structures

Beyond individual components, we also fabricate larger structural elements for agricultural operations. This includes custom loading chutes, equipment shelters, hay storage solutions, and specialized enclosures for different types of livestock operations.

Our waterjet cutting capabilities allow us to create precise components for ventilation systems, drainage solutions, and custom hardware that integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure.

Understanding Your Operation

What sets Double R Manufacturing apart in agricultural fabrication is our commitment to understanding your specific operation. We take time to discuss your challenges, workflow, and long-term goals to ensure our solutions truly serve your needs.

Our local presence means we understand the agricultural community and the seasonal demands that drive farming and ranching operations. This insight helps us recommend solutions that not only solve immediate problems but also support your operation’s efficiency and growth.

Quality That Stands the Test of Time

Agricultural investments need to pay dividends for years to come. Our fabrication processes, material selection, and finishing techniques are all designed with longevity in mind. We use appropriate coatings and treatments to resist corrosion and wear, ensuring your custom fabricated solutions continue performing even under demanding agricultural conditions.

From surface preparation through sandblasting to final protective coatings, every step of our process is geared toward creating metalwork that stands up to the rigors of agricultural use.

Supporting Your Agricultural Success

At Double R Manufacturing, we view ourselves as partners in your agricultural operation’s success. Our custom fabrication services are designed to solve real problems and improve efficiency, helping you focus on what you do best—running a successful farm or ranch.

Whether you need a single custom component or a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade, our team is ready to work with you to develop solutions that meet your needs and budget.

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.
