A unique and spectacular pair of entrance gates, specially designed for a private house at Bowness-on-Windermere in the Lake District, has been galvanized for maximum protection against the wet and windy local weather by Pillar-Wedge of Heywood Lancs.

The highly-individual curved gates, described as having a ìdynamic ripple effect which is asymmetricalî to represent moving water, are the creation of specialist architectural metalworkers and sculptors Chris Brammall Ltd, based at Ulverston, Cumbria.

The steel profiles of the automated gates, together with balustrades and hand rails for the property, were hot-dip galvanized by the Wedge Group company in Lancashire before receiving a T-wash and lacquer finish. Lakeland stone sections were inserted at the base to give another texture and add weight.

Pillar-Wedge's Danny Flynn said: Chris Brammall and his team have vast experience in creating public artworks, private commissions and other commercial steel designs, which they have galvanized to provide longevity of the finish. We were delighted to be contracted to carry out the galvanizing of these superb and eye-catching gates. They should prove to be a real bonus for Bowness!
