Description

These wrought iron alleyway gates are shown fitted to a rear passageway between two brick pillars, forming a double-leaf barrier with an elegant arched top rail. Finished in black, the gates combine a traditional decorative style with the closely spaced vertical bars needed to properly secure a narrow footpath or backyard access route.

Design Details Visible on This Gate

The standout feature of these wrought iron alleyway gates is the shaped top edge, which rises into a gentle arch across both leaves rather than sitting flat.

Fleur-De-Lis Finials

Each vertical bar is topped with a pointed fleur-de-lis spearhead finial, giving the gate a classic ironwork silhouette along its entire width.

Barley-Twist Scroll Panels

A row of twisted basket scroll motifs runs centrally across each leaf, breaking up the plain vertical bars and adding a hand-forged decorative touch.

Build and Fitting of These Alleyway Gates

The gates are constructed from close-set vertical metal bars fixed within a solid perimeter frame, hung on heavy-duty hinges fitted directly to the brick gate posts. This tight bar spacing is a practical feature for alleyway gates, as it restricts footholds and limits visibility gaps while still allowing air and light through.

• Double-leaf opening gate with matching left and right sections
• Solid black painted finish on all visible metalwork
• Drop bolts and latch hardware fitted at the base and mid-height of the gates
• Designed to be mounted between existing brick or block pillars

Where This Style of Gate Works Best

Set within a block-paved alley running behind terraced brick properties, these wrought iron alleyway gates are suited to shared rear access routes, backyard entrances and footpaths that need controlled access without a solid, view-blocking panel. The open bar design lets residents see through to the passage beyond while still forming a clear physical barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these alleyway gates be fitted between existing brick pillars?

Yes, the gates in this photo are hung directly onto brick pillars either side of the passageway, and this style is commonly fitted to existing masonry openings.

Are the finials and scrollwork purely decorative?

The fleur-de-lis finials and twisted scroll panels add a traditional ironwork look while the underlying vertical bar structure still provides the security function of the gate.

Is the black finish suitable for outdoor alleyway use?

The gates are finished in a black painted coating designed for exterior metalwork, as shown fitted in this outdoor brick alleyway setting.
