Description
A chunky cast steel seahorse with a curled tail, made for coastal gates and railings. This badge is 150mm tall and about 60mm wide: a stylised seahorse facing right, with a spiky crest, round eye and short snout, a deeply ribbed body, a small fan fin and a tail curled into a big spiral. It is about 12mm deep with a flat back that welds or bolts to gate bars, rails, posts and doors. The price shown is for one badge, with a minimum order of 5.
Why choose this badge
Instantly coastal. A seahorse on the gate says seaside before anyone reads the house name, ideal for harbour cottages, beach houses and coastal hotels.
Tall and slim. At 150mm tall and about 60mm wide it sits neatly between or across two gate bars without crowding them.
Flat back, easy to fix. The back is flat, so it welds cleanly to bars or a rail, or can be drilled and bolted to timber or a panel.
Ready for your finish. It comes as raw cast steel, so you can paint it white or gold, or galvanise and powder coat it with the gate.
Where it is used
Seaside cottage and beach-house gates, promenade and harbour railings, balcony fronts, garden gates, front doors, letterbox surrounds, garden walls and decorative panels.

Fitting and care
Clean the back of the badge and the bars where it will sit with a flap disc so the weld takes. Clamp it in place, check it is upright, then tack it and check again before welding. On a pair of gates, fit one seahorse to each leaf at the same height.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Near the sea, hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives by far the longest life, as salt air attacks bare and thinly painted steel quickly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one badge?
Yes, it is for one seahorse badge, with a minimum order of 5. For a larger quantity, call us for a price.
Which way does it face?
It faces right, as in the photos. It is not made as a left-facing mirror pair, so two on a pair of gates will both face the same way.
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.
Is it suitable near the sea?
Yes, once it is protected. Galvanise and powder coat it, or use a marine-grade primer and paint system, and touch up any chips each spring.
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.
