Description
A proud cockerel to crown a farm gate, post or railing. This silhouette is cut from 5mm mild steel plate, 190mm wide and 235mm tall. The cockerel faces right, with his comb, wattles and a full curved tail, and stands on a short flat ground bar that gives you a straight edge to weld to a gate rail, the top of a post or a railing. It is a solid, crisp profile that reads clearly from a distance and suits farmhouses, smallholdings, country pubs and cottage gardens. It comes in raw steel, ready to paint, galvanise or leave to weather. The price shown is for one silhouette.
Why it works
Ready-made base. The flat ground bar under his feet is the fixing edge, so he stands straight on a rail or post top with one weld run.
Solid 5mm plate. Thick enough to stay flat and rigid outdoors, and to weld without burning through.
Clear at a distance. A simple, bold outline reads instantly on a gate or against the sky.
Finish it your way. Paint it black or a farm colour, galvanise it, or leave it to rust to a warm brown patina.
Where it is used
Farm and field gates, smallholding and chicken run gates, gatepost and fence post tops, cottage garden gates and railings, weathervane and sign projects, pub and farm shop signs.

Fitting and care
Clean the base bar and the rail or post top back to bright metal, stand the silhouette upright, tack each end of the base bar, check it is vertical from two sides, then weld along the bar. On timber posts, weld a small plate to the base bar and screw it down. Raw steel rusts outdoors: for a painted finish, degrease, prime with a zinc-rich primer and top coat; for a rusted look, simply leave it, knowing the patina will mark stone or render below it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one silhouette?
Yes. The price is for one cockerel silhouette.
Can it face the other way?
Yes. It is a flat plate, so turn it over and the cockerel faces left. Both faces are the same.
Is it painted?
No. It is supplied as raw mild steel so you can weld it first, then paint, galvanise or let it weather.
How do I fix it without welding?
Drill two holes through the base bar and bolt it to a bracket, or fix a small plate to the bar and screw it to a timber post.
