The Saturn, with its unique picket fence pattern conveys a straightforward, clean line appearance. The pickets line up to form a subtle, yet pleasing arch. Like the Edmund, this works well in a seaside setting. And because of it stainless steal material, the high salt and moisture rich environment won't corrode the gate’s exterior. The Saturn will fit in with many styles and environments from mid-west ranches to the outer city suburbs.
The stainless steel materials used to create this gate are especially ideal for any area with high salt and/or moisture in the environment, since stainless steel will not corrode like other metals.
J-bolts and barrels are included with each of our stainless steel gates. You can utilize existing posts/columns or purchase 4 x 4 posts with pre-attached hinges.
Your stainless steel gate will ship for a flat rate of $199!

- Size: Up to 15' Single, 30' Dual.
Artistry
Our gates are welded using traditional stick welding processes. Also known as shielded
metal arc welding, this process consists of using a consumable electrode coated
in flux (a chemical agent - zinc oxide - that removes oxidation from metals) to
create an electric arc for welding. The vapors from the flux create an inert gas,
known as shielding gas, which conducts heat and reduces the voltage required for
welding. This process also creates slag, or melted metal, that protects against
atmospheric contamination of the welded material. The slag must be chipped off,
and the overall process requires a skilled artisan for a properly finished piece.
Forging is the traditional means of working iron and other metals. Traditional tools
are the hammer and anvil, and one major benefit of forged metal is that it becomes
harder as it is worked. This is because the grains of the metal are deformed to
follow the new shape, not broken, as in other methods of metalworking. Our gates
are forged in order to provide the most durable final product possible.
Powder coating is the process by
which powdered pigment is applied to and cured on a surface. The process for powder
coating consists of a mechanical and/or chemical treatment of the surface to remove
impurities and contaminants followed by the application of the pigments. Then the
material is cured at high temperatures which makes the pigments flow together and
react chemically to form the coating. Powder coating is preferred for certain surfaces
because it creates or contains close to no volatile organic compounds and does not
sag or run with thicker coats. The overspray can also be recycled so there is little
waste, making it less expensive and creating less hazardous waste. It is also more
versatile than traditional liquid paints. Often, thinner coats of powder coating
will be used for a slightly orange peeled effect to prevent fingerprints, but thicker
coats may be used for a smoother finish. Our gates are powder coated to provide
the most uniform, precise painted effect possible.

Stainless steel is one material that will last for thousands of years without weathering. Stainless steel is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium content; it is also known as corrosion resistant steel, or CRES. The chromium forms a chromium oxide passive film which prevents corrosion and prevents it from spreading internally. Passive simply means non-reactive - the chromium oxide prevents the steel from reacting with the air and corroding. This property also allows it to reform when scratched, which prevents marring, and stainless steel is impervious to water and air. Another interesting feature of stainless steel is that stainless steel parts can weld together when they are screwed together because the oxide layer is scraped off, creating a more secure hold. Stainless steel is so reliable, durable, and functional that it is used in the industrial, automotive, aerospace, and surgical industries. Finally, it is 100% recyclable, making it ideal for a sustainable future.

Each of our products is crafted
upon the placement of the order, and is shipped directly from the manufacturer to
you. Delivery typically takes 2-3 months depending on the complexity of the piece,
the availability of the crafters, and the expediency of the customs bureau.
During that time, we will be in
frequent contact with you. Upon the placement of the order, one quarter of the total
cost is due and you will receive an electronic order confirmation identifying the
U.S. customer representative who will be monitoring the order. The next e-mail notification
will be sent when the order is completed and received at our distribution center;
this notice will contain a picture of your completed gate, and the rest of the cost
will be due at this time. Upon receipt of the balance, we will ship the gate and
send you another notice identifying a tracking number for your convenience.
We very selectively choose the manufacturers
who produce the gates shown here, and culture a personal relationship with them.
By providing these products directly from the manufacturers, we are able to offer
you lower prices since there are no interim business or dealer costs to cover.
