What you get when you work with us

We keep the whole journey clear and practical – from idea to installation. Every project is engineered for safety, durability and a clean finish.

• Design & measure: We capture the look you want, confirm clearances, slopes and services, then produce shop drawings.

• Fabrication: Accurate cutting, jigging and welds that meet Australian Standards, with quality checks at every stage.

• Surface protection: Hot-dip galvanising and/or powder-coating for long life in Melbourne’s variable climate.

• Install & handover: Neat footings, aligned hardware, reliable automation (if required), and care instructions you can follow.

When custom steel fabrication Melbourne makes sense

Choose a made-to-measure solution when off-the-shelf won’t cut it. Typical projects we deliver for property owners, builders and fencers include:

• Front boundary fencing that balances privacy, airflow and street appeal.

• Swing and sliding driveway gates – manual or automated – with safe, smooth operation.

• Pedestrian gates and side returns that lock properly and don’t sag.

• Security and industrial barriers (pressed spear, anti-climb designs) built for high-use environments.

• Architectural details such as screens, balustrades, handrails and custom brackets that match your façade.

Materials & finishes that survive Melbourne weather

Getting the base material and finish right is everything.

• Mild steel is strong, versatile and cost-effective. We typically galvanise, then powder-coat it for excellent corrosion resistance.

• Stainless steel (304/316) is ideal for coastal or pool-adjacent installs where chloride exposure is higher.

• Protective finishes: Hot-dip galvanising for inside-out rust protection; powder-coat for colour and UV stability; wet-spray touch-ups where needed.

• Popular colours: Monument, Surfmist, Black and Woodland Grey – or we’ll colour-match to your scheme.

Quick chooser: materials, finishes and care

Material	Finish	Best for	Care tips
Mild steel	Galvanised + powder-coat	Driveway gates, front fencing	Rinse dust, inspect chips, touch-up promptly
Stainless 316	Satin or mirror polish	Coastal, pool zones, handrails	Rinse after salt exposure, mild detergent only
Mild steel	Galvanised only	Industrial/security barriers	Annual hose-down, check fasteners
Aluminium infill with steel frame	Powder-coat	Lightweight screens, slat infills	Soft wash quarterly, avoid harsh abrasives

Installation, compliance and safety you can trust

We build for real-world use, not just brochure photos. That means:

• Correct posts and footings sized for wind loads and gate span.

• Straight, clean welds – ground where they should be, left proud where strength demands it.

• Hardware that lasts: Hinges, rollers and latches selected for duty cycle, not just appearance.

• Automation done right: Protected cabling, limit stops set correctly, safe gate speeds, and safety beams where required.

• Compliance first: We align with relevant Australian Standards and local council requirements, including pool safety and pedestrian access rules.

Result: hardware that closes cleanly, gates that don’t rack or drag, and finishes that keep their colour and sheen.

Care and maintenance – simple steps, longer life

A few minutes a season keeps your metalwork looking sharp and operating smoothly:

• Hose down dust and grime, especially after hot, windy weeks or coastal exposure.

• Check for chips or scrapes and touch-up quickly to stop rust from starting.

• Wipe hinges and rollers; lubricate with a non-staining product if specified.

• For automated gates, keep the track clear, test the safety beams and note any unusual sounds.

Tip: Photograph any marks before touch-ups – it helps us troubleshoot faster if you call.
