20 years on
and still going strong...
A commemorative Rose Tower heralded the birth of Gardens Of Steel
| A recent photograph of a project completed during our first year - a Garden Arch and Garden Lattice panels to a Wisteria at the rear of a Kew property in Melbourne. The first of many Wisterias we have been involved with. On this occasion the finish was naturally rusted steel which will happily rust for very many more years. |

| One of our smallest custom projects. The briefing was to replace an old timber pergola with a Steel Pergola, that would protect and hold the ancient vine forever. The chosen finish was unpainted galvanised steel. The old brick fireplace is to be reinstated as a barbecue and will feature in this delightful and very productive backyard. |

| A mixture of colonial and early Victorian, this National Trust property was completely renovated. The project included the addition of a Gardens Of Steel Pergola, located over the entertainment area. The support posts are original and were retrieved from a renovated section of the building. | ||

|
Built in the 1860's, this Victorian beauty required a strong visual focus for it's entertainment area. This Steel Pergola was one of our largest projects at the time. Our Woven Steel Garden Lattice softened the structural steel and would support the clients beloved wisterias. |

Bring on the Pool Side Roses |

 |
A stunning design concept around this Mentone, bayside pool. Fourteen cantilevered Steel Garden Archways will gradually support climbing roses, ensuring both shade and privacy for the family. A combination of contemporary and traditional components were used in the construction with striking results. All steel was hand finished in black. We will continue to watch this one with pride over it's many evolving years. |

Mathematics and beautiful rust |
||||
 |
||||
 |
 |
|||
| As we often say ‘The mathematics go a long way towards a successful project’. We were certainly put to the test with this project, as the client is a mathematician with a passion for petals, as well as rusted steel. What better for a corner concept in this made-over sixties residence. From an initial drawing on graph paper, we developed a delightful Rusting Steel Pergola - sweeping curves on different elevated levels, all locked together with laser cut decals. |

A much loved space transformed for summer |
||
 |
|
|
| “This is where our family and friends spend much of our free time together”. This busy Lower Plenty family, chose a wrought iron pergola, reflecting the Spanish style architecture of the residence. Large planters were designed to soften the area. A project which will evolve beautifully over the years, with climbers to be in place and furniture to be re instated, all in time for those glorious summer days. |
