Description
A large C scroll in heavy 16 x 8mm grooved flat bar, 240mm wide and 130mm high. The bar forms a broad rounded arch with a fine groove running along its face, and each end turns down and inwards into a tight curl finished with a ribbed, forged tip. It is the largest C scroll in our grooved range, sized to fill a tall band on a driveway gate or to stand alone as a crest, where a smaller scroll would look lost. The 16mm bar keeps it in proportion with gates and railings built in 16mm or 20mm material. It comes in raw mild steel, ready to weld, then paint, powder coat or galvanise. The price shown is for one scroll, with a minimum order of 10.

Why this scroll works
Big enough to read from the road. At 240mm wide the arch holds its shape at a distance, so it suits driveway gates and front railings that are seen from the pavement rather than up close.
A groove that catches the light. The line along the face gives depth once painted, and stops a wide arch of flat bar looking plain.
Finished ends. The ribbed tips on the curls are a forged detail you would expect on hand-made scrollwork, and they stay crisp under paint.
Three contact points. In a band the top of the arch meets the upper rail and both curls rest on the lower rail, so it sits steady while you tack it. Stood on a top rail, the two curls give it a stable footing.
Where it is used
- Tall decorative bands in driveway gates and railings
- A single crest centred on a gate or above a doorway grille
- Cresting along a top rail or wall railing
- Heavier garden furniture, screens and sign brackets
Will it fit my layout?
| Your layout | What works |
|---|---|
| A band between two rails | Rails about 130mm apart, inside face to inside face; arch to the upper rail, curls on the lower rail |
| Between vertical bars | A clear gap of about 240mm between bars, one scroll per gap |
| Working out how many | Divide the run by the 240mm width plus your chosen spacing: about four scrolls per metre set almost touching, or three per metre with 90mm between them |
| On top of a rail | Stand it on its two curls with the arch upwards, allowing 130mm of height above the rail |
| A narrower band | See the 160 x 90mm and 125 x 80mm grooved C scrolls below |
Fitting and finishing
Set out the band, drop a scroll into each gap and check they all sit square and the same way up. Tack each one at the top of the arch and at both curls, recheck, then weld fully.
The opening inside the arch is more than 100mm across, so on a stair, landing or balcony guard where a 100mm limit applies, use this scroll as decoration over infill that already closes the gaps.
Raw steel will rust outdoors. Clean off the mill scale, prime with a zinc-rich primer, working it into the groove and the ribbed tips, and top coat with a metal paint, or have the finished work hot-dip galvanised or powder coated.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one scroll?
Yes, the price is for one scroll and the minimum order is 10. For a long run of railings or several gates, call us for a quantity price.
Is it a structural part?
No. It is a decorative scroll. The gate or railing frame must carry the load.
Does the groove give grip?
No, the groove is decorative. It is there for the look, not for grip.
Can I fit it upside down?
Yes. With the arch down and the curls up it makes a cradle shape, and it welds the same way. Keep every scroll in a run facing the same direction.
Does it come painted?
No, it is raw steel so it welds cleanly. Paint, powder coat or galvanise it once it is fitted.
