100mm Hammered Edge Steel Ring, 12 x 6mm Flat Bar, Raw Mild Steel for Gates and Railings

A light ring with a hand-forged edge. This ring is 100mm across, rolled from 12 x 6mm mild steel flat bar with its edges hammered into irregular facets, so a plain band of rings picks up the look of traditional wrought ironwork. The inside opening is about 88mm and the band is 12mm deep. Set in a row between two rails, the rings give gates, railings and balustrades a decorative band without the weight of square bar. The price shown is for one ring, with a minimum order of 10, which fills about a metre of rail.

Why choose this ring

Hammered edges. The faceted edges catch the light and break up the plain line of a flat bar ring. Because the facets are irregular, a row of rings looks worked by hand rather than cut from a machine-made strip.

Light flat bar. At about 0.16 kg each, these rings add detail to a gate or railing without adding much load to the hinges or fixings, and a 6mm wall leaves a generous 88mm opening.

Matches 12mm work. The 12mm depth sits comfortably with 12mm square pickets and 12 x 6mm hammered edge scrolls, so a panel built from these parts looks of a piece.

Raw steel, ready for your finish. It comes as bare mild steel, so weld it in first, then prime and paint, or galvanise the finished panel.

Where it is used

Bands of rings in garden and driveway gates, front railings, balcony and staircase balustrades, window guards, garden screens and fire screens, and as single feature rings in the centre of a panel. It also suits repairs where a period gate needs a matching hammered detail.

Specifications

How many do you need?

Set side by side and touching, each ring takes 100mm of rail, so a metre of rail takes 10 rings. For a single row between two rails, set the rails 100mm apart, inside to inside.

Fitting and care

Lay the rails flat, set the rings in place with the joints turned the same way, and clamp them so each ring touches its neighbours and both rails. Tack each point of contact, check the row is straight, then weld out and dress the welds. Weld across the butt joint if it will stay visible.

Raw steel rusts if left bare outdoors. Clean off mill scale and weld spatter, degrease, then prime and paint, or galvanise the finished panel, and touch up chips as they appear.
