Wrought Iron Gates and Fences

Gates and fences are the heart of our workshop. Most of what we make is classic and richly ornamented, but more and more clients ask for modern, loft or industrial designs, or for a blend of styles, and we design each entrance around the house it serves.

Our gate sets began with one client who was tired of ordinary entrances. Today they are our most spectacular work, and you can see one in person at our headquarters in Dębica, Poland.

Gates, fences and complete entrances

Gates, fences, gate sets and doors

Our wrought iron gates cover four families: traditional openwork gates, solid privacy gates, oriental-style gates and pedestrian wickets, plus sculpted gates with life-size animals.

We forge light garden fences and heavy screening fences, reconstruct historic railings and build continuous runs in which forged posts replace masonry piers. Every fence design can share its pattern with your gate.

A gate set combines gate, wickets, openwork pillars and often a crown into one composition, typically around ten metres long and several tonnes in weight. The same workshop makes forged pillars on their own and wrought iron doors, from glazed entry doors to bronze church doors.

Why hand-forged makes the difference

Much of what is sold as wrought iron today is welded from thin tube with pressed ornaments. Ours is forged from solid bar, shaped hot at the anvil and joined with collars and rivets where tradition calls for it. The result is heavier, crisper in detail and far longer-lasting.

Metal gates made to measure

Gates and fences are the main branch of our work. Every metal gate is an individual structure, matched to the width of the opening, the shape of the ground, the layout of the fence and the character of the building. We do not work from ready-made catalogue systems; each design is based on the real conditions of the site.

As a gate manufacturer we design every structure with its weight, the stiffness of the frame and the way loads are carried into the foundation in mind. These are the things that decide whether a gate keeps its geometry and smooth operation after ten or twenty years.

All our steel structures are prepared for hot-dip galvanizing, in which the steel is dipped in molten zinc and the protective layer bonds permanently with the metal. It is the most effective corrosion protection for gates and fences that will spend decades outdoors. The design must allow for vent holes in hollow sections and evenly placed welds; without this the structure can warp, the zinc may not cover every surface, and in extreme cases sealed sections can burst in the bath. That is why production technology matters here as much as appearance. After galvanizing, the ironwork is painted, which gives it its final colour and a second protective layer.

Swing gates and sliding gates

We make both swing and sliding gates, and the choice should follow the space available and the way the entrance is used, not looks alone. Swing gates suit classic entrances with enough room on the drive; two symmetrical leaves create a grand form, especially with massive steel pillars, and the foundation and the transfer of twisting forces are critical. Sliding gates are more advanced structurally: in a cantilever system the leaf rests on carriages anchored in the foundation, the length of the counterweight keeps it stable, and the design of the bottom beam decides how long the whole system lasts.

Steel gates are the foundation of our work. Whatever the style, every gate has a load-bearing steel structure designed for the real weight of the leaves, the width of the opening and the ground conditions, and the choice of sections, thickness and stiffening ribs decides whether it will stay true for years. Modern steel gates can be solid, semi-transparent or openwork, from minimalist geometric divisions to compositions that combine steel with wood; classic steel gates move towards richer, hand-finished ornament. Sliding gates are usually chosen for short drives, and double swing gates for a grand entrance.

Metal fences: proportion, privacy and structure

We design metal fences as an integral part of the entrance. A fence is not an extra; it is the structural and visual continuation of the gate, which is why we look at proportion, the rhythm of the panels and the relationship with the house from the very first sketch.

We make light openwork fences that set off the architecture as well as massive full fences that give a high level of privacy, always made to measure for the length of the frontage, the slope of the ground and the position of the gate and wickets. Modern metal fences can be minimalist, built on clean lines and geometric divisions; classic ones become more decorative, with hand-finished detail. Either way the structure is what counts: stiff panels, stable posts and correct preparation for galvanizing.

Every quote is prepared individually, because the length of the frontage, the height, the density of the infill and the materials make each project different, from a light openwork fence to a full system with massive steel pillars.

One workshop from design to installation

We take care of the whole process, from the concept and the technical drawing through production to installation. Every metal gate and fence is made in our own workshop to strict technical standards. Metal gates and fences are an investment in durability, security and the image of a property; a well-designed structure keeps its geometry, stability and beauty for many years and remains the showpiece of the front of the house.

We measure, design, forge, hot-dip galvanize, paint and install, or ship worldwide with full fixing details. Tell us what you have in mind and we will propose a design.

Gates and fences FAQ

Do you make modern metal gates as well as classic ones?

Yes. Alongside traditional forged gates we make modern solid, slatted and geometric gates, as well as loft designs that combine steel with wood or copper.

What information do you need for a quote?

A few photos of the entrance and the house, the width and height of the opening, the length of the fence and a word on the style you like. From that we prepare a proposal and, once you are happy with it, a detailed drawing.
