Steelwork, Built
to Last
Ten specialities, one craftsman standard. Every category below is fabricated in-house in Constantia, Cape Town.
From a single security gate to a full structural commission, every job at The Classic Forge gets the same attention to material, finish and installation. Browse the categories below, or send through your project and we'll advise on the best approach.
Custom Gates
Driveway gates, pedestrian gates and estate entrances, designed to match the architecture of the property and built to handle daily use for decades. Sliding, swing or automated — sized and detailed to fit your opening exactly.
Burglar Bars & Security Steelwork
Window bars, security doors, trellis gates and full perimeter steelwork designed to protect a home without making it feel like a cage. Discreet profiles available alongside traditional security specs.
Balustrades
Staircase, balcony and deck balustrades in steel, steel-and-cable, or steel-and-glass. Built to SANS safety specification and finished to suit both contemporary and traditional homes.
Wrought Iron
Traditional wrought iron detailing for gates, railings and decorative features — hand-shaped scrollwork and finishing for homes that want a more classical character.
Steel Furniture
Tables, shelving, fireplace surrounds and one-off furniture pieces built in steel, often paired with timber or stone. A way to bring the same craftsmanship indoors.
Steel Carports
Freestanding and attached carport structures engineered for Cape Town's wind loads, with a range of roof-sheeting and cladding finishes to match the house.
Steel Structures
Structural steel framing, mezzanines, canopies and outbuilding frames — engineered, fabricated and erected for both residential and light commercial projects.
Steel Roofing
IBR and concealed-fix roof sheeting, flashing and steel roof structures — supplied and installed as part of a wider steelwork project or on its own.
