A visionary invested in a property at the entrance to red rocks park, a public natural amphitheatre that has incredible acoustics due to the natural rock formations. The visionary wanted to provide a wedding venue for at this exceptional location. Part of the dilemma was how to create a distinction between public park and private wedding venue areas. He determined that a 5 foot high front fence would not only create the distinction, but also enhance the aesthetics of his new property. So, we created him a custom red rocks fence!

The property fence design had a row of hand forged scrolls at the top and bottom of it. Custom cast knuckles were added for maximum visual impact. The four horizontal bars were 1” X 2” and the top of the property fence had 1” X3”. The center of each property fence panel had a 15 ½” circle created from 1 ½” X 1 ½” flat bar.

Each of these circles had a custom cast bronze coin inside of it. These bronze coins were designed as a signature piece for this property. Each coin depicted the building structure, red rocks formation, a mountain goat, water fountains, mining tools and lots of other details. These bronze coins are single sided, so they needed to be installed back-to-back with countersunk fasteners.

The property fence posts are 4” square and have a custom cast post ballcap with an oversized ball to emulate the hinge post ballcap found on the driveway gate. We built the front panels at a special angle to match the angle of the terrain underneath.

What really set this fence project apart was the custom color powder-coat blend. We made a custom blend with jet black and a bosenberry color. We blended the two together in a special ratio. This gave the effect that from a distance the property fence looks black, but when you get up close, it has red hues to it. This allows it to have a beautiful tie into the native rock in the property and surrounding vicinity.

This stunning red rocks fence will create a beautiful boundary and entrance to this exceptional wedding venue for many decades to come.

Mr. Amos Glick and staff at Compass Ironworks built and provided me with a customized automatic gate. From the very beginning of the project, they were passionate and attentive to my family’s special needs. Their skill and care in every detail of the gate, size, style, material and color, matching our landscape, was well thought out and well crafted. They were able to also give the exact various automation modes my family had requested.
 
I am very much satisfied with the superb work done and would recommend Compass Ironworks whole heartily to anyone seeking personalized care and excellent workmanship.

We had a railing, designed, created, and installed by Compass Ironworks. Amos and Aaron were extremely professional. They kept us informed of how things were progressing. We even visited the shop when the railing was almost complete. We HIGHLY recommend Compass Ironworks! We have had several people knock on our door to ask about who made our beautiful railing. Thank you for your hard work!

I have been meaning to call you about all the wonderful details of our railing. First of all, it’s beautiful. It is made exactly like we wanted, and it is sturdy just the way we wanted. Ben, Alvin, and John were right on the ball. They knew what they were doing. They were in and out of there, but still took the time necessary to do what they needed to do. And it looks beautiful! My wife came home and she had tears in her eyes and she was all tickled, and that was wonderful. We’re going to recommend you to all our friends, family, and neighbors. We’ll definitely give you a call. Feel free to use me as a reference. I will recommend you to anyone I know or meet. Thank you, Sir and have a good day.
