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.

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
