Description
Flat bar with a hand-forged edge. This 30 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 gate or railing 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 5.4 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 on a gate frame or top rail without hours at the anvil.
A strong, practical size. At 30 x 8mm it is stiff enough for gate frames and the top rails of railings, and wide enough to take pickets drilled or welded through it.
Works like plain flat bar. The faces are flat, so it sits square on a saw, drills cleanly and welds to posts, pickets and scrolls with no special preparation.
Raw steel, ready for your finish. Weld it up first, then prime and paint, or galvanise the finished gate or railing.
Where it is used
Gate frames and top rails, railing rails and cappings, handrails, balustrade top rails, fire screens and wrought iron style tables, benches and shelving brackets.

How much do you need?
Add up the rails and frame members on your drawing and divide by 3m, allowing for cuts. A 1m wide garden gate with a top rail, bottom rail and two stiles 1m high uses about 4m, so two lengths with plenty to spare.

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.
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.
