Every year Designer Metal installs and supplies thousands of metres of traditional iron fencing and metal tree guards - for estates, parks and farms all over the UK. The use of generous steel sections and our unique method of installation, gives our estate fencing great rigidity and strength. You will truly be investing in a last-a-lifetime fence that will be enjoyed by generations to come.
I ordered an Estate Fence Kit for a 60M fence plus a gate kit. Designer Metal were a pleasure to deal with, very helpful staff, quite a reasonable price and a fast delivery. The items supplied are all heavier duty than I have seen with other suppliers. I have another run of similar fencing planned for next year and I will certainly be using Designer Metal again.
Extremely helpful family run business. Good advice. Well engineered fencing and gates. Accessible yard if you collect as I did, and lightning fast loading and help with tie downs. Also, and importantly, competitive prices.

Designer Metal is based in Elmsett in Suffolk, England. Started in the nineties, by Xavier Cooper, it originally offered bespoke iron work projects to private clients. Since then it has become one of the main providers of country iron work in the UK. We now specialise in Estate Fencing & Metal Tree Guards.
Fence posts are driven in or concreted and the rail then simply threaded through and welded. Supplied unpainted, our traditional estate fencing can be left to colour naturally with no loss of structural integrity. In order to offer customers the complete package we can supply 20mm round bar, 25x8mm flat bar and 16mm round bar in 6 metre lengths.
Our smallest metal tree guards. An economic and attractive way of protecting smaller saplings. Strong welded steel construction. The upright gaps are no greater than 9.4cms. Each iron tree guard is split able (scroll down the page for fitting instructions) for easy fitting to existing trees and re-use.
40x12mm spines, 40x40x5mm T section top & bottom horizontals, 25x25x5mm angle-iron middle horizontals and braces with 60604 box section posts capped with forged balls. 40x12mm spines, 26.9mm tube top horizontal, 30x12mm flat bar bottom horizontal, 25x8mm flat bar middle horizontals and braces with 60604 box section posts capped with forged balls.
Designer Metal deer fencing is built to last. 50x12mm posts @1m centres driven 1m into the ground, a solid 20mm round top rail and eight 25x8mm flat rails on edge below. It stands 8 feet tall and weighs 3.15 tonnes per 100m. As with our estate fencing we install a continuous welded system, allowing us to follow ground contours and curves beautifully.

I required some tree guards which had proved difficult to get under 3 months elsewhere, Designer Metals couldn't have been more helpful and turned the order round in just a week. Delivered when they said they would and we are very pleased

I have used this firm 3 times for the best traditional tree guards i can buy. Well made and tree remains accessible to man / woman when growing.
Most necessary to protect specimen /memorial trees from Deer which can attack young trees in so many ways!
Guards delivered to me work out around £200 each but loosing a £70 2 year old tree makes them a good and pleasing investment.

After scouring the UK for a traditional looking and high quality estate fencing supplier I finally selected Designer Metal. The product looked good, they were competitive on price, they were a family business and they had a website that made everything clear (great videos!). The order was a short 23m run of their supply-only estate fencing with a gate kit (+ tools). Quite a bit of elbow grease later and some help from my father-in-law welder and the job looks great. I know other buyers that sing their praises too. Can’t recommend them enough!

I bought a tree guard to protect and support a mature palm and was helped and advised appropriately and politely. The product was delivered promptly, in good condition and is exactly as described.

I was planning on waiting until next year for my second fence, but I have been so pleased with the first run I have now purchased the second 32M run. And again I have been impressed with the service.
