Yesterday we produced 21 of our beautiful Brunhild Metal Tree Guards. These will be delivered to a returning customer, in the York area ,who has purchased around 70-80 of these since 2011.

Here at Designer Metal we produce all our own scrolls by hand, first 2 photos. We can produce about 150 per day and they are so much nicer than the machine turned ones, used by most people these days, and really finish our gates off nicely. The next three photos show our metal field gates being made in our 2 dedicated gate bays of the workshop. We produce 4 standard sizes. These are all made on permanent metal sheet jigs that we place on metal trestles with our forklift. Guys simply have to cut components from a standard cutting list, drop into the jigs and weld them up. It’s a really efficient process that allows us to produce some really nice field gates at an affordable price and we send these out all over the country every week. The next photo show tree guards and quadrants hanging to dry after being spray painted. Final photo shows 650 fence post ready for our Estate Fencing installation at Heveningham Hall in May. ...

We have spent most of January solving our space issues by adding approx 2000square ft of mezzanine floor. Its been great fun to build ,and with the new equipment and layout below ,will give us a workshop where we could comfortably employ 10-15 people. we finally have had our new power supply switched on this weekend so we are good to go. We have work piled up in front of us and looking forward to a great 2019. Hopefully by the end of this month we will have planning permission granted for a 2 story office pod on the front of the building which we hope to have built by the summer. This whole project will have taken about a year from start to finish but will give us a facility that should allow us to expand greatly.
thanks to all involved ,
