Description
A slimmer flat bar with a hand-forged edge. This 25 x 8mm mild steel flat bar has both long edges hammered, leaving a row of broad, shallow dents that catch the light and give a railing, gate or piece of furniture a traditional wrought iron look. The flat faces stay plain, so it cuts, drills and welds just like standard flat bar. It comes in a 3m length, about 4.52 kg, as raw steel ready for your finish. The price shown is for one 3m length.
Why choose this bar
The wrought iron look without the forge. The edges are already hammered, so you get a hand-worked finish without hours at the anvil.
A neater, lighter size. At 25 x 8mm it is a little slimmer than 30mm bar, which suits garden railings, smaller gates, plant stands and furniture where a wide rail would look heavy.
Works like plain flat bar. The faces are flat, so it sits square on a saw, drills cleanly for 12mm pickets and welds with no special preparation.
Raw steel, ready for your finish. Weld it up first, then prime and paint, or galvanise the finished work.
Where it is used
Railing top and bottom rails, garden and side gate frames, balustrade rails, table and bench frames, plant stands, fireside screens and shelf brackets.

How much do you need?
Add up the rails and frame members on your drawing and divide by 3m, allowing about 3mm for each saw cut. A 2m run of railing with a top and bottom rail takes two lengths, cutting a 2m rail from each and leaving two offcuts of just under 1m for brackets or short rails.

Working and care
Cut with a chop saw, band saw or 1mm cutting disc, and line up the hammer marks on mitred corners for a neat joint. Drill pickets through the flat face, then weld. It bends the easy way, across the flat, for curved rails and table bands.
Clean off mill scale and weld spatter, degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for a full 3m length?
Yes, the price is for one 3000mm length.
Are both edges hammered?
Yes, both long edges are hammered. The two flat faces are plain.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw mild steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is made up.
