Description
A long decorative gate top 1520mm wide and 310mm high, made from 16 x 8mm mild steel flat bar, for one leaf of a pair of driveway gates about 1.5m wide. It runs in one flowing S-curve with a hammered, scalloped crest along the middle, small cast roses, tendrils and acanthus leaves. A slim vine tapers away at one end, and a large spiral with a flower and a leaf crown finishes the other. Weld it along the top rail of the gate as a finishing piece. It comes in raw steel, ready to paint or galvanise. The price shown is for one left-hand gate top.

Why this gate top works
Made for wide gates. Most scroll tops stop at about a metre. At 1520mm this one spans a full driveway gate leaf in a single piece, with no join to hide and no pattern to repeat.
Rises towards the middle of a pair. The slim vine sits at the low end and the tall leaf crown at the other. Fitted with the mirror-image right-hand piece, the two tall ends meet at the centre of the gates and form one continuous arch of ornament.
Ready assembled. The crest, roses, leaves and scrolls come joined as one piece. Matching this much detail from separate parts would take days.
A solid bar for its size. 16 x 8mm bar keeps a long piece stiff when you lift and position it, and it lines up well with a 16mm or wider top rail. Have a second person help you lift it into place.
Where it is used
- On the top rail of driveway and entrance gates
- On country house, estate and period property gates
- Along the top of wide railing panels
- On new gates being made up, and to dress up a plain pair of gates
Will it fit my gate?
| Your gate | What to do |
|---|---|
| One leaf about 1.5 to 1.6m wide | Fits as it is, centred on the top rail |
| Narrower, down to about 1.4m | Trim the slim vine at the low end with a cut-off wheel before fitting |
| A pair of gates | Order this one for the left leaf and the mirror-image right-hand decorative gate top for the right leaf |
| A single gate about 1m wide | Choose a shorter top such as the ornate 1100 x 290mm gate top |
Fitting and finishing
Lay the gate flat, position the gate top on the top rail and clamp it at several points, as it is long and will flex slightly until it is tacked. Tack weld wherever the lower curves touch the rail, check the line, then weld fully. Grind the welds smooth for a neat finish.
Raw steel will rust outdoors, so finish the gate and gate top together. Clean off the mill scale, prime with a zinc-rich primer and top coat with a metal paint, or have the whole gate hot-dip galvanised or powder coated.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one gate top?
Yes, one left-hand gate top, ready assembled. A pair of gates needs this one and the right-hand version.
Do you have the opposite hand?
Yes. The right-hand piece is a mirror image at the same 1520 x 310mm size and is sold separately.
Which way round does it go?
As you look at it, the slim vine is at the left and the tall leaf crown at the right. On a pair of gates that suits the left leaf, with the tall end meeting the centre.
Which side faces out?
The leaves and roses stand proud on one face, so fix that face towards the side you most want to see, normally the road or drive.
Does it come painted?
No, it is raw mild steel so it can be welded and then finished with the gate. Prime and paint it, or have it galvanised or powder coated.
Is it structural?
No, it is decorative and adds no strength to the gate. Keep the gate frame and hinges sized for the finished weight, which rises by about 5.07 kg with this fitted.
