Southwold Roman Blacksmith Arch
Crafted from heavy-duty solid steel, each arch is designed to provide both beauty and long-lasting strength. With its elegant proportions and robust structure, this arch is ideal for framing entrances, defining walkways, or supporting climbing plants such as roses, clematis, or wisteria. Whether used as a standalone feature or as part of a garden design, it brings a sense of heritage and sophistication to any outdoor space.
The Southwold Blacksmith Arch is a true investment in quality, craftsmanship, and heritage. Whether placed as an inviting entranceway, a striking focal point, or a structural feature for plant growth, this arch is built to stand the test of time—offering both beauty and resilience for years to come.
Exceptional strength and durability
Unlike lightweight alternatives, the Southwold Blacksmith Arch is built to withstand the elements, offering unparalleled strength and stability:
- Heavy-duty solid steel construction – crafted from 50mm wide x 8mm thick steel, with 16mm solid steel crossbars for outstanding durability.
- Weather-resistant – all components are hot-dip galvanised, fully immersing the steel in molten zinc to provide exceptional corrosion resistance.
- 15-year structural guarantee – built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
- Robust fixings – stainless steel or galvanised fittings for maximum corrosion protection and easy assembly.
- Flexible installation – includes ground anchors for securing into soil (can be concreted in for extra stability) and patio/decking fixing brackets for alternative placements.
Unique handcrafted finish
Every arch undergoes a meticulous hand-etching process, resulting in a beautifully aged, antique patina that develops over time. Unlike painted finishes, this method creates a natural weathered look, with variations in light to dark grey tones that bring authenticity and charm to the design. The finish is not completely uniform, allowing each arch to have its own individual character, much like traditional wrought ironwork.
Over time, natural weathering and exposure to the elements will only add to its appeal. Occasional marks or minor spots of surface rust are a normal part of the ageing process, blending into the timeless aesthetic of the arch.
