Shapes of Gates
A simple guide to general wrought iron (steel) gate shapes. Any shape required but not included here can be e-mailed or faxed to us. These gates are made to order to fit customers' specific dimensions.

Most shapes are available for most designs, and most are available as single gates, double gates and railings. Although available with shaped tops it is unusual for balcony railings to be shaped and balustrading is assumed to have a flat top (albeit on an incline).
