How much an SS gate costs in Dehradun depends on its size, design, steel grade and where it is installed. This guide explains how we work out a gate quotation at STEELLY, so you can compare offers properly. For current rates and worked examples by size, see our SS gate price guide.
How we work out your gate quote
We quote gates with the material included. Gates are priced per square foot: after measuring the opening, we multiply the gate area by a rate set by the design and grade you choose. A plain design costs less than a dense or laser-cut one, because every extra pipe or panel adds material and workshop time.
The final number is confirmed after a site visit. The visit costs ₹500 within about 10 km of Dehradun and is waived when you confirm the order.
Why the same-size gate can be quoted differently
When a customer shows us a cheaper quote, we ask them to check three things on both quotes:
- **Gauge** — the wall thickness of the pipe
- **Grade** — SS 202 or SS 304
- **Pipe size** — the section used for the frame and the infill
If these are not the same, the two quotes are not for the same gate.
Installation and transport
Installation is charged separately from the gate. The charge depends mainly on the location: a site far from our workshop costs more, because transport hire is higher and the team spends more time travelling.
What Moves Your Gate Price Up or Down
- Grade: SS 304 costs more than 202 but holds up in Dehradun humidity, monsoon and winter fog
- Design density: every laser-cut pattern, extra rail or panel adds cutting and fitting time
- Hardware: hinges, locks, wheels and automation-readiness are separate line items
- Finish: mirror polish, brushed, powder-coat and black PVD all price differently
- Site conditions: slope, access and civil work change installation cost
SS 202 vs SS 304: Where the Money Goes
- SS 202: more affordable, fine for covered or low-exposure entrances and internal gates
- SS 304: higher initial cost, stronger moisture resistance, recommended for open outdoor main gates
- For boundary, villa and commercial entrances, SS 304 is the standard pick
- No steel is 100 percent rust-proof; SS 304 is highly rust-resistant for Dehradun's climate

What a Correct Quote Must Include
- Material grade in writing (202 vs 304)
- Pipe and sheet thickness in mm
- Hardware brands and quantities
- Installation and transport as separate lines
- Warranty terms
If any of these is missing, you are comparing guesses, not quotes.
Hidden Costs to Watch For
- Automation motor and its wiring, quoted separately
- Powder-coating or PVD colour on top of the base finish
- Removing and disposing the old gate
- Core-cutting or civil work on a slope or odd wall
- Premium locks and telescopic track for sliding gates
