What Are Sphere Top Gates?

At Steelcraft, we’re specialists in bespoke and custom metalwork, crafting everything from tailored balconies to handcrafted gates. One of the most popular designs we create is the sphere top gate, sometimes called a ball top gate.

Sphere top gates feature ball finials across the top of the gate, combining decorative flair with practical security. The smooth, rounded design adds a subtle yet contemporary touch to your property, while also helping to deter intruders. The result is a gate that’s both stylish and functional.

These gates are a versatile choice, used widely in both residential and commercial settings. Whether you’re securing an alleyway, defining a boundary, or framing the entrance to your home, sphere top gates deliver strength, safety, and timeless appeal.

Built to Last

Every Steelcraft gate is crafted here in Britain using high-quality steel. Unlike competitors who use plastic caps, our posts are steel-capped for durability and a cleaner look.

• Galvanised as standard for maximum corrosion protection.
• 10-year workmanship and corrosion guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind.
• Powder coated finishes available in black, white, or anthracite grey as standard, with the option to colour-match to any RAL shade for a truly custom look.

Standard Sphere Top Gate Designs

Our most popular designs include:

• The Lumley Single Gate – 1m high
• The Lumley Alley Gate – 1.8m high

These give customers a range of ready-to-order options in our trusted style.

Bespoke Metalwork, Made for You

While our standard gates remain a customer favourite, Steelcraft is first and foremost a bespoke metalwork specialist. That means if you have a specific size, design, or finish in mind, we can create a custom gate that perfectly matches your vision and property.

From one-off gate commissions to tailored balcony installations, we thrive on designing and manufacturing unique metalwork solutions that balance practicality, durability, and craftsmanship.
