Description
A cast steel salamander climbing up the wall, a favourite for patios, gates and garden walls. This badge is 240mm from nose to tail and 110mm across the splayed feet: a lizard seen from above with a pointed head, a scaled back with a raised spine ridge, four legs with spread toes and a long tail curving to one side. The back is plain and the casting is about 13mm deep, ready to weld or bolt. The price shown is for one salamander, with a minimum order of 5.
Why choose this badge
Looks alive on a wall. Fixed at an angle, it looks as if it is climbing, which brings a sunny Mediterranean feel to a patio, courtyard or garden wall.
A good size. At 240mm long it is big enough to be seen across a garden, yet only about 0.6 kg, so it is easy to fix.
Plain back. The back is plain, so it sits close to a wall, fence or gate bars and is easy to weld or drill.
Ready for any finish. It comes as raw cast steel, so you can paint it black, bronze or bright colours, or galvanise and powder coat it.
Where it is used
Rendered and brick garden walls, patios and courtyards, garden gates and railings, timber fences and sheds, pool surrounds, conservatories and decorative panels.

Fitting and care
Hold the salamander against the wall at the angle you want before marking the fixing holes, as a slight diagonal looks most natural. Drill through the body where the holes will be hidden by paint, or weld studs to the back for a concealed fixing.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Outdoors, galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life. Use stainless screws so they do not stain the wall.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one salamander?
Yes, it is for one salamander badge, with a minimum order of 5. For a larger quantity, call us for a price.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw cast steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is fixed.
Can I hang it on a wall without welding?
Yes. Drill through the body and plug and screw it to the wall, or weld two short threaded studs to the back and set them in resin anchors.
Is the back decorated?
No. The back is plain, so it sits close to the surface it is fixed to.
Are all the badges exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two and the surface texture varies slightly from one casting to the next.
