Description
A hot-forged flower gate top 900mm wide and 300mm high, made from 12 x 6mm flat bar, for a single gate about 900mm wide. One five-petal flower about 100mm across sits at the top of the centre stem. Below it, two large scrolls hold upright acanthus leaves, and two long arms sweep out to an open spiral at each end. Collars bind the joints, and the leaves and flower stand proud of the bar for real depth. Weld it along the top rail of a garden, side or front gate as a finishing piece. It comes unpainted, ready to prime and paint or galvanise. The price shown is for one gate top.

Why this gate top works
Forged detail with real depth. The flower and leaves are hot forged rather than cut from flat plate, so the petals and leaf veins catch the light. That difference shows after painting, when a flat cut-out can look like a silhouette.
Ready assembled. The flower, leaves, scrolls and collars come joined as one piece. All that is left is to weld it to the gate and finish it.
A soft, low shape. The flower is the only part that reaches the full 300mm. The arms stay low, which suits cottage gardens, period fronts and anywhere a spear or finial would look too sharp.
Easy to weld. 12mm deep flat bar lines up with 12mm bar and 25 x 25mm box top rails, and it is thick enough to weld without burning through. Allow for the flower standing about 50mm deep when you plan how the gate swings past a wall.
Where it is used
- On the top rail of garden, side and front pedestrian gates
- On cottage and period property gates set in a garden 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 spirals with a cut-off wheel before fitting |
| About 1 metre or a little more | Choose the 1000 x 320mm square bar 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 centre stem and the base of each large scroll 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 spirals, 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 4.15 kg with this fitted.
