Why choose Walnut for metal fabrication in Hallam?

When you’re investing in structural steel, gates, or architectural details, you need a team that understands load paths, site gradients, wind ratings, coatings, and council expectations. We specialise in metal fabrication Hallam projects that look sharp, install cleanly, and stand up to Melbourne’s weather. Our workshop is geared for steel fabricator Hallam jobs of all sizes—from one-off brackets to full perimeter solutions.

What you can expect from us:

• Engineered thinking from design to install

• Tidy welds, accurate jigs, and true alignment

• Powder-coated finishes matched to your palette

• Clear communication with builders and homeowners

• Local know-how across Hallam, Dandenong, Narre Warren, Berwick, and surrounds

What we fabricate (and install) every week

Custom gates that glide perfectly

We build sliding and swing gates in steel or aluminium with reinforced frames, smooth tracks, and motor-ready setups. Our metal fabrication Hallam team sizes members properly, so you don’t battle sagging, racking, or noisy hardware down the track.

Architectural fencing that lifts street appeal

From flat-top and rod-top to pressed spear and blade styles, we fabricate panels and posts with consistent spacing and strong weld penetration. If privacy’s the priority, aluminium slats deliver clean lines and low maintenance. Prefer a tougher look? Steel fabrication Hallam panels bring industrial resilience without sacrificing style.

Structural and site steel that fits first time

Lintels, plates, PFCs, cleats, bollards, handrails—fabricated to drawing and site-checked where needed. We’re meticulous about cuts, mitres, hole patterns, and surface prep, making install faster and safer.

Bespoke details that finish the job

Letterbox inserts, laser-cut screens, U-channels, flanged posts, floor tracks - small components that make a big difference to longevity and ease of use. With metal fabrication Hallam expertise on tap, we’ll suggest tweaks that save headaches on install day.

Getting from idea to installed (our simple process)

1) Listen & measure

We start with your brief—function, look, and constraints. On site, we check falls, clearances, power access for motors, and substrate suitability.

2) Design for buildability

We translate the brief into practical shop drawings. At this stage we confirm member sizes, fixings, hinge positions, and coating specs aligned with steel fabrication Hallam best practices.

3) Fabricate with accuracy

Fixtures and jigs keep components square and repeatable. We grind and prep for coating so surfaces are smooth and protected.

4) Coat for durability

We recommend powder coat systems suited to Melbourne’s climate and coastal exposure where relevant, so your finish stays sharp.

5) Install clean & safe

We coordinate with your schedule, handle cranage where required, and leave the site tidy—with everything plumb, level, and operating smoothly.

Local insight that saves time and rework

Hallam blocks often have driveway cambers, tree roots, and mixed substrates (concrete, brick, compacted road base). We allow for these realities in hinge selection, post footings, base plates, and tracks. Motorised gates? We plan cable runs and drainage from the outset so you're not trenching twice. That’s the difference a local metal fabrication Hallam partner makes.

Material choices that match purpose

• Mild steel: Strong and versatile, ideal for structural members, gates, and security fencing. Powder coat or hot-dip galvanise (then coat) for longevity.

• Aluminium: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, great for slat fencing and coastal applications.

• Stainless (selected elements): When hygiene or high corrosion resistance is non-negotiable.

Quick comparison (at a glance)

Application	Best Material	Key Benefit	Common Finish
Sliding/Swing gates	Mild steel frame + infill	Strength + stability	Powder coat over zinc
Privacy fencing	Aluminium slats	Low maintenance	Powder coat
Industrial/High security	Steel pressed spear	Deterrence + durability	Powder coat / galvanised
Architectural features	Laser-cut steel/aluminium	Custom design	Powder coat

Built to last and look the part

A great finish starts with great prep. We grind, cap, and seal appropriately so your powder coat sits smooth and resists chipping. Welds are dressed where they’ll be seen, and tolerances are held so gaps align. It’s the detail that makes our metal fabrication Hallam projects look premium years down the line.

Your Steel Fabricator Hallam

As a steel fabricator Hallam builders rely on, we handle end-to-end steel fabrication Hallam projects with tight tolerances and clear timelines. From lintels, PFCs and RHS frames to custom brackets, base plates and canopies, we fabricate to drawing, provide shop sketches where needed, and coordinate cranage and install. Need site welding or tricky retrofits? We’ll measure twice, plan fixings properly, and deliver powder-coated or galvanised finishes that stand up to Melbourne conditions - so your steel arrives right, fits first time, and looks the part.

Stainless Steel Fabrication Hallam

If your site demands premium corrosion resistance, our stainless steel fabrication Hallam service covers 304 and 316 stainless for handrails, balustrades, bollards, benches and architectural trims. We TIG weld for clean seams, then pickle/passivate and finish to your spec (brushed or mirror) for long-term performance in pool zones and coastal exposure. We design for drainage, hygiene and maintenance access, and install with care - so your stainless looks sharp on day one and stays that way for years.

Let’s get your project moving

Whether you’re a property owner upgrading the front boundary or a builder needing dependable steel fabrication Hallam support, we’ll make it straightforward: clear plans, solid fabrication, and a tidy install.
