Description
A scroll gate top 900mm wide and 350mm high, made from 20 x 5mm flat bar, for a single gate about 900mm wide. A twisted 20mm basket with a ball finial stands at the centre, with a pair of curls either side and a second ball below. Two long, low arms sweep out to a cluster of double scrolls at each end, and collars bind the joints so it reads as forged ironwork. Weld it along the top rail of a garden, side or front gate to give a plain bar gate a tall, traditional centrepiece. It comes unpainted, ready to prime and paint or galvanise. The price shown is for one gate top.

Why this gate top works
A real centrepiece. The twisted basket gives the top a focal point that a run of plain scrolls cannot, and it is the detail people notice from the pavement. Making one by hand means a forge or a basket twister; here it arrives already made and fixed in place.
Ready assembled. The basket, balls, scrolls and collars come joined as one piece, so the only job left is to weld it to the gate. Building the pattern from loose parts takes hours of bending, matching and tacking.
Wider bar than a 12 x 6mm top. At 20mm deep it lines up with a 20mm or wider top rail and has more presence at a distance. It is still light enough at about 3.21 kg to hold in place with two clamps.
A tall line that stays open. The arms stay low and only the centre rises to 350mm, so the gate gains height at the middle without looking heavy across its width.
Where it is used
- On the top rail of garden, side and front pedestrian gates
- On railing gates set in a low front wall
- Over doorways, arches and the tops of fence panels
- On new gates being made up, and to dress up an old plain gate
Will it fit my gate?
| Your gate | What to do |
|---|---|
| About 900 to 950mm wide | Fits as it is, centred on the top rail |
| Narrower, down to about 820mm | Trim the outer scrolls with a cut-off wheel before fitting |
| About 1 metre or a little more | Choose the 1015 x 360mm gate top |
| A pair of gates | Order two, one for each leaf |
Fitting and finishing
Lay the gate flat, centre the gate top on the top rail and clamp it. Tack weld where the lower ball and the bottom of each arm meet the rail, check it is central and upright, 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 gate top, ready assembled. A pair of gates needs two.
What width of gate does it suit?
A gate about 900 to 950mm wide. It measures about 900mm across the outer scrolls, and the ends can be trimmed for a slightly narrower gate.
Does it come painted?
No, it comes unpainted so it can be welded and then finished with the gate. Prime and paint it, or have it galvanised or powder coated.
Can I fix it without welding?
Welding gives the strongest and neatest result. If you cannot weld, drill the lower curves of the arms and bolt it to the top rail with small stainless bolts.
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 3.21 kg with this fitted.
