Sculpted Metal Gates and Fences
These are the gates and fences that made our workshop known around the world. Instead of a flat pattern, each one holds a three-dimensional scene forged entirely in steel: life-size deer and wolves under old oaks, herons among reeds, wild boar, jaguars, eagles and pheasants, all modelled as if taken straight from nature.
We invented this way of building gates and are still the only workshop that makes them. Many of them can be seen in person at our showroom in Dębica, Poland.
Our sculpted gate and fence designs
Up to a metre thick, yet they open fully
Because the animals and trees have real volume, a sculpted gate can be up to one metre (about 40 in) thick in places. We build them so that, when the leaves open, all that depth swings into the property and the full width of the drive stays clear for cars. Every gate can be automated.
Hunting, nature and fantasy scenes
We can forge purely botanical scenes, hunting scenes, calm or dramatic animals, fantasy creatures, people or warriors. One side of a full gate can show a wolf and a deer while the other shows a great oak. Most pieces are steel; on request we make them in bronze.
Our nature fences are built from forged trees, branches and plants, with animals placed at the most visible points. They can be divided into lower, gentler spans, or built as one continuous run in which forged tree trunks replace the usual concrete posts. We also make matching wickets, balustrades and free-standing metal animal sculptures.
Sculpted gates look magnificent in front of log and timber houses, mountain lodges, country estates, ranches and homes near the forest. We regularly ship them to the USA; read more about our sculpted entrance gates for Texas and the USA.
Artistic fences that tell a story
Our artistic fences are created the same way as the gates: from a drawing made for one particular property. Instead of repeating identical panels, we propose compositions in which trees, branches and animals lead the eye along the whole length of the fence, and the most striking scenes are placed where they are best seen from the road and from the house. A good example is our forged tree fence BM6, where trunks and branches take over the role of the posts, or the fence with hand-made tree branches BM42.
Metal art gates of this kind are always forged by our most experienced blacksmiths, because every leaf, feather and strand of fur is shaped separately before the scene is assembled.
Steel with wood, stone or brick
A forest gate, a gate in the shape of a tree or a fence with an animal sculpture can be combined with other materials: stone, brick or timber. The warmth of wood and the precision of blacksmith detail come together beautifully in our horse farm gate with larch wood BM55 and in the steel gate with wood BM14, which suit anyone searching for a wood fence with a wrought iron gate. We base each design on photos of the property, so the composition fits both the building and the landscape around it.
If you are looking for a wrought iron gate with a tree design, take a look at the oak tree entrance gate BM56 or the designer gate with a forged tree BM64: each tree is forged branch by branch and can be adapted to your opening.
Sculpted gate FAQ
How are such heavy gates protected against rust?
Every steel gate is hot-dip galvanized, the most effective corrosion protection there is, and then patinated in autumn colours or a palette you choose. Bronze pieces are finished according to an agreed method.
How heavy is a sculpted gate?
A typical double gate weighs well over a tonne, which is why we install heavy-duty hinges and automation sized for the load.
Can you portray a particular animal or landscape?
Yes. Send us photos of the animal, the view or the scene you have in mind and we will design the gate around them, whether it is your horses, a local bird or the trees that grow on your land.
