Forged Fence with Sunflowers (BM44)

BM44 is a wall of forged sunflowers, about 200 cm (6 ft 6 in) high, made completely by hand from steel by our master blacksmiths.

The span is made of hundreds of hand-made elements. Every petal of every sunflower was forged as a separate piece and then joined to the centre, so the span is a true steel sculpture, fully three-dimensional.

It is hot-dip galvanized, so it resists rain and rust, and we can make it in any height, length or colour.

A field of flowers on the boundary

The large flower heads, with dark textured centres, are set at different heights and turned at different angles, as in a real field, while smaller sunflowers grow lower down among broad leaves. Slender stems run from the ground to the top of the span and give it a light, vertical rhythm, even though the construction is solid. In the photos the petals are finished in a soft yellow-green and the stems and leaves in green.

Colour and size to order

We can paint the flowers in the strong yellow of real sunflowers, keep a softer patina like the one shown, or choose any other colour. The motif suits a country house as much as a modern one, and it works on a long fence as well as on a single decorative span. Sunflowers also pair well with poppies, tulips or ears of grain from our botanical fence designs.
