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 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

It was easy to fix the rabbit mesh using the additional bars you provided, and this works really well, providing

Wrought iron side gate & fence panels, Strathalbyn SA

Wrought iron steel gates made by Adelaide Blacksmith Andrew Hood, add a touch of elegance to the side entrance of this Adelaide hills house.

We wanted to go locally. We wanted someone who could “translate” and meld both my and my wife’s ideas together and come up with a gate and fence we both liked. We also wanted a gate and fence that would last and fit in with our older style home.

Farmweld did all that in a very exemplary way . Based on our ideas Trish/Andrew provided us with

Maddison entrance gate

Maddison heritage style country entrance gate

When my wife and I decided that we wanted a more impressive entrance way to our property, we scoured the internet and other media for a good-looking, quality, yet reasonably-priced gate.  We visited factories and outlets, and examined websites over many months but nothing met our criteria.  We then found  an advertisement for Farmweld gates and their product appeared to fit the bill – attractiveness and affordability.  And it has proven to be the case.  We are delighted with

Heritage wrought iron estate gates

Wrought iron country estate gates needn't be expensive. Sometimes simple wrought iron designs are better than something over complicated.

What do you do when you need a formal entrance to a property with Australian Colonial architecture but it needs to work with French Provincial interior decorating … go wrought iron of course. The wrought iron entrance gate to this NSW property was made keeping in mind both styles and the owner couldn’t be happier.

The Brief: The house on this property was built in 1898 but it has been renovated with a French Provincial interior. The house is
