Bladderwrack Gate architectural metalwork by Alan Williams

About the work

Inspired by the movement and forms of bladderwrack seaweed, this bespoke gate was created for a private client living close to the sea.

The design reflects its coastal surroundings, bringing a natural element of the shoreline into the entrance of the property.

Materials and construction

Forged from sheet steel, the gate has been galvanised to provide long-lasting protection against the elements, particularly important in a coastal environment where salt air can accelerate corrosion.
