Wrought Iron Driveway Gates — Complete Guide
Wrought iron driveway gates are the definitive choice for homeowners who want their entrance to make a lasting impression. These are gates with genuine character — each scroll, curve and detail is shaped by hand, creating an entrance that is as much a work of art as it is a functional barrier. At Driveway Driveway Gates, our wrought iron gates are crafted by experienced blacksmiths using traditional forging techniques, ensuring authenticity and structural integrity.
Why Choose Our Wrought Iron Gates?
The beauty of wrought iron lies in its malleability — skilled craftspeople can create intricate scrollwork, flowing curves and decorative elements that are simply impossible to achieve with other materials. Our range includes classic estate gates with arched tops and ornamental overthrows, simple but elegant vertical bar designs, and elaborate bespoke creations featuring family crests, botanical motifs or geometric patterns. Whether your property is Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian or Arts and Crafts, we have the expertise to create gates that complement your architecture perfectly.
How It Works
After your initial enquiry, we will arrange a design consultation to understand your vision. We can work from photographs, sketches or existing gates you admire. Our blacksmiths then create detailed drawings for your approval before any metalwork begins. Every gate is galvanised for rust protection and finished in your choice of colour. Installation includes all necessary fixings, posts and hardware.
Maintenance & Aftercare
Wrought iron gates should be inspected annually for signs of rust or paint deterioration. Touch-up paint should be applied to any chips or scratches promptly to prevent corrosion. A full repaint is typically needed every 5 to 8 years depending on exposure. Our galvanised construction significantly extends the time between major maintenance intervals.
