Country gates with a difference, Woodside, South Australia

Customer review of a country gate at Woodside, South Australia. Side fence panel, small side personal access gate and main entrance gate.

Our gates are absolutely gorgeous – thank you! They’ve turned out exactly as we had imagined them (if not better) and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

Thanks again for all your help in developing the design, and for the outstanding workmanship of the end product – we’ll be referring people your way without hesitation.

The gates Farmweld designed and constructed for us are beautiful.  Everyone who visits comments on their beauty and old world charm. They’ll look even lovelier once the roses grow up the other side. The attention to detail in the construction of the gates contributes to this old world charm.

We were highly impressed with the design service.  Everything was possible.  Nothing was a bother. We found Farmweld to be highly professional and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

Railway gates, Riverland, South Australia

This large 16' or 4.8m long heritage style railway gate suits both contemporary and older style homes.

I just wanted to send this quick email to say a huge thankyou for all your patience and help with me in deciding on our railway gates. They fit perfectly and the kids love opening and shutting them each day. They are also successfully keeping the dog in as well. I am sending through some photos of the gates with this email too.

Farmweld understood exactly what we wanted and came up with this design that needed no alteration.  The gate and panels are really well made and look fantastic at the start of our drive. We have received many positive comments from friends and neighbours.  We recommend Farmweld to anyone who wants to have gates or panels made for a special area around their home or farm.

Garden arch, Eden Hills, South Australia

I had my heart set on a sturdy, well built arch for my much loved garden but was not able to find anything in the shops that even came vaguely near my expectations.  Then I contacted Tricia at Farmweld.  I sent through a photo and description and Tricia promptly came back with confirmation that they could build the arch and a quote.  The arch now takes pride of place in the middle of my garden with a passionfruit growing up one side and a Jasmin the other.  I can’t wait till they smoother the arch with heavenly fruit and perfumed flowers.

Contemporary dairy farm gate, NSW

Contemporary Farm Gate

Living in the country we always seemed to “make do”, take “what’s available” be asked “why would we want that”, be told “you live in an old house” “you’re off the main road no-one will see it”. I wanted to know why couldn’t we have something special, something pretty.

On our dairy farm we often put cattle in the paddock surrounding the  house yard, and as I like other country women work off farm I was forever getting in and out of the car to open and shut the gate. Our front gate was old and rusted and needed

Estate country gates, Arcadia NSW

A big thank you for the wonderful Estate gates – the big gate has made such a difference to the front of the property (as you can see from the picture) and has attracted several admiring comments, and the three smaller gates go perfectly with the Australian Colonial style of the house. It was easy to fix the rabbit mesh using the additional bars you provided, and this works really well, providing
