We specialise in hands on reproduction of components from 19th Century. fences Reproducing a gate post involves several steps but bringing Melbourne’s past glories back to life for new generations is a reward in itself. Whilst clients contribute to the cost the greater proportion is carried by ourselves – its what we do.
