Description
A Gothic diamond with four flowers, set into the bar. This ornament is a flat cast steel diamond 163mm long and 100mm wide, with an open window in the middle and a quatrefoil flower at each of its four points. It has a round collar and a 14mm spigot at both ends, so it joins two lengths of bar in a straight line and sits part way up the picket. A row of them forms a band of open diamonds across a gate or railing. The price shown is for one ornament, with a minimum order of 10.
Why choose this ornament
Spigots at both ends. Unlike a railhead, which only fits the top of a bar, this piece has a 14mm spigot top and bottom. It joins two lengths of bar in line, so you can set it at any height on the picket.
Four flowers and an open window. A quatrefoil flower sits at each point of the diamond, with small leaf details along the frame. The 50mm window is open, so light shows through and a row of ornaments reads as lace rather than a solid band.
Collars cover the welds. A round 32mm collar, 11mm tall, sits at each end, so the welds tuck behind a turned shoulder.
Same top and bottom. The ornament is symmetrical, so either spigot can go up.
Where it is used
Pedestrian and driveway gates, front garden railings, balcony and landing balustrades, decorative fence panels, and gate stiles where an open ornament breaks up a plain bar.

Which bar does it suit?
| Upright on your railing | How the 14mm spigots fit |
|---|---|
| 14mm bar | Flush butt weld top and bottom |
| 16mm bar | Bar overhangs the spigot by 1mm each side, the collar covers the joint |
| 12mm bar | Spigot overhangs the bar by 1mm each side, grind to blend |
| Tube or box section | Weld a cap plate on first, then weld the spigot to it |
How many do you need?
Use one ornament per picket. At 100mm wide, set picket centres at 120mm or more so the flowers on neighbouring ornaments do not touch.
| Run length | At 130mm centres |
|---|---|
| 1 metre gate | 8 ornaments |
| 2 metres of railing | 16 ornaments |
| 3 metres of railing | 24 ornaments |
| 5 metres of railing | 39 ornaments |
The spigots butt weld to the bar ends, so each ornament adds its full 163mm to the picket: cut the bar 163mm shorter than the finished length. On stairs, landings and balconies in homes, no gap may let a 100mm sphere pass through, including the gaps beside the ornaments.

Fitting and care
Mark the ornament height on every picket from the bottom rail, cut the bar there and grind both ends square. Clamp the lower length upright, stand the ornament on it, check it is square to the gate from the front and the side, and tack. Add the upper length, check the whole picket is straight with a level, then weld out round each spigot.
Grind the welds smooth under the collars, degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer, working it into the flower detail. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one ornament?
Yes, it is for one ornament, with a minimum order of 10. For a larger run, call us for a quantity price.
Is this a railhead or an in-line piece?
It is made to sit in-line, with a spigot at both ends. To use it at the top of a post, cap the upper spigot with a ball or small finial.
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 welded in.
Is the window really open?
Yes. The diamond window is cast right through, so you can see through it once fitted.
Are all the ornaments exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two. Set them to a line across the gate rather than measuring each one.
