Art that works for a living
Gates, railings, staircases and public art, each designed for its site and built to outlast the people who ordered it.
Gates
Driveway, estate & garden gates
Swing and sliding gates in steel, aluminum and cedar, from a single garden gate to a full estate entrance with matching fence. Every gate is drawn for its opening and its slope, then built and hung by us.
- Swing, bi-fold and cantilever sliding gates
- Automation, keypads and intercom integration
- Footings and posts set with our own excavator
- Shipped and crated for clients outside the Island
Railings & staircases
Railings, stairs & balconies
Interior and exterior railings, guards and complete staircases, including spirals built as a single unit. Art panels are drawn to meet guard requirements, so the picture is also the code-compliant infill.
- Stair stringers, treads and spiral stairs
- Deck, balcony and loft guards
- Wall rails and grab rails
- Wood cap rails and timber-frame details
Public art & sculpture
Built at public scale
We fabricate and install large work for public buildings, municipalities, First Nations communities and private collections, often in partnership with the artist who authored it. That means engineering, shop drawings and coordination with general contractors, architects and structural engineers.
Fire, signs & decor
Lighting, fire features & wall art
Chandeliers and lanterns, fire bowls and rings, fireplace screens, signs and wall sculpture. Smaller pieces in a style that matches your gate or railing tie a property together.
Common questions
Before you get in touch
What does a custom gate cost?
It depends on size, material, artwork and automation. Send the opening width, a photo and the look you want and we'll give you a budget range before any design work starts.
How long does it take?
Design usually starts within a few weeks of first contact. Your quote includes a fabrication and install schedule.
Do you install?
Yes, across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, with our own crew and excavator. Further afield we crate and ship ready to hang.
Can I start from a pattern?
Yes. The pattern library has more than 1,200 designs we can scale and adapt to your opening.
