reproduction wooden show lorry

Despite our company being called iron gate company our past work goes further than just gates and railings, as we mentioned in previous posts we have a wide variety of talent within our workforce one of which (the guy who makes our wooden gates) also has experience working for a large commercial body builders before he started working with wood

so when we were aproached with this project his previous and current experiences came together to produce this great looking reproduction truck body
Dropside wooden lorry body old fashioned wooden comercial vehicle

this body is not suitable for real work this is purely a show piece
if this was going to be worked it really would need to be made from a hardwood but our customer wanted this purely as a show vehicle so elected to use scandinavian redwood and treat it with stain afterwards instead.

we created this post to show off what we can do and to show we are not scared by out of the ordinary commisions if you have anything you would like making dont hesitate to ask

we have added a quick photo gallery to show off the different views






Opportunities available for retailers and tradesmen

In this post we are highlighting some opportunities available for retailers and tradesmen from the gate company

First for retailers

We are currently expanding our range from just gates and railings and as we introduce further ranges for all the seasons we would love to have other retailers on board to help us to get our brand out there.
We pride ourselves on bringing great quality at inexpensive prices.

We are currently looking for traditional bricks and mortor store owners,aswell as a limited number of ebay / Amazon resellers who would like to sell our products.

We are really interested in getting our products out into retailers such as garden centres and independent DIY stores.
We do not currently sell on these market places,as we progress our business forward we aim to produce higher volumes to improve effiency.

We are working very hard on building our own website up and increasing our brand awareness but this takes a lot of time and we feel that setting ourselves up on these market places will spread our time very thin.

If you are interested in stocking our items we will offer a great markup (subject to pre agreement) priority shipping direct to you or drop shipping direct to your customer (no upfront fees).


Our second opportunity is for tradesmen around the Uk. We are looking for skilled tradesmen that would like to be considered for our subcontractors network for installing gates and railings.
The right applicants would need valid insurance for working at customers properties have own transport and tools and the correct PPE to carry out work.
You will be required to carry out all work in a clean and professional manner.

These railings were installed using a coredrill method where we drill a large bore hole into the top of the wall and cement the post into the wall although this is a more difficult way of installing we feel they look a lot better and worth the extra work involved

you may also notice that above the original gate there is a metal trellis this again was installed by us
