About the service
I design and hand-forge custom wrought iron garden gates built entirely to order, from a blank sheet of steel bar stock to a finished entrance piece hung and ready to swing. Every commission starts with a short conversation about the size of your opening, the style you want (classic scrollwork, geometric panels, floral motifs, or a mix), and how the gate should read against your fence, wall, or driveway pillars.
Once we agree on a concept I send a hand-drawn sketch or a simple scaled drawing for approval before any metal is cut, so there are no surprises later. The frame is built from solid steel bar, corners are forged and welded rather than just bolted, and decorative scrolls, leaves, and rosettes are shaped one at a time on the anvil with traditional hand tools. Hinges are heavy-duty and forged to match the gate's character, and I fit a matching latch or lock hardware so the whole piece feels like one object rather than a frame with parts bolted on afterward.
Before delivery every gate gets a rust-inhibiting primer and a weather-resistant topcoat in matte black, bronze, or a color of your choice, and I can add gold or copper highlight leafing on the scrollwork for an extra decorative touch. I take on full-size single gates, double driveway gates, and matching wicket gates for a fence run, and I am glad to build a matching arbor topper or side panels if you want the whole entrance to feel unified. Local delivery and on-site installation can be arranged, or I will crate the finished gate securely for shipping with clear hanging instructions included, along with care notes so the finish stays looking sharp for years.
