wrought iron gate in Adelaide

If you’re looking for a wrought iron gate or fence in Adelaide it’s important you know the difference between a genuine wrought iron product which will last a lifetime and a cheap and inferior product which will never look the same or last as long. The more Farmweld’s reputation grows the more we hear about the number of businesses in Adelaide advertising wrought iron gates when in fact all they make is panels from thin tubular steel with mass produced cast aluminium spears. It’s surprising how few people recognise the difference between genuine wrought iron gates & fence panels and cheaper tubular products labelled as ‘wrought iron’.

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.
