FROM BRIEF TO BUILT
Real projects. Real metalwork.
Completed screening projects supplied by Metal Garden Screen, part of Architectural Products. Tell us what you need; we’ll work out the supply.
Made for the space.
A bespoke screening brief for a Kensington garden. MGS made custom panels to suit the design and arranged delivery.
See the project
Working with Steven Woodhams Design, MGS adapted the screening to the garden’s existing layout. The completed white screens preserve light and a sense of openness.

The right colour. The right fit.
Laser-cut aluminium screens with a powder-coated finish, supplied for a garden project in Uxbridge.
See the project
The customer specified sizes and a colour to complement a greenhouse. MGS supplied the screens and fixing components for the landscaper’s installation.

A brief brought to life.
Custom Bubble Bath panels supplied for privacy around a Yorkshire Dales garden and pool.
See the project
The brief called for screening that complemented the landscape. MGS supplied the customised white panels shown in this completed project.

Tell us what you need ↗A few useful details
No finished drawing or thickness is needed to enquire. This is a reviewed quotation, not an instant price or an order. Any design work is scoped and priced separately; installation is not assumed.
Cut to your shape.
Plates, panels, brackets and profiles. Tell us the shape and what it needs to do; we help resolve the specification.
- Mild steel
- Laser cut up to 25 mm thick.
- Stainless steel
- Laser cut up to 20 mm thick.
- Aluminium
- Laser cut up to 15 mm thick.
- Brass
- Laser cut up to 5 mm thick.
- Sheet size
- Cutting bed up to 3,000 × 1,500 mm. Usable part size depends on material, thickness and the cutting detail.
Ask us about other grades or materials. We confirm material, dimensions and suitability with your quote.
All capabilities and material limits ↗Fold. Weld. Machine.
Turn separate pieces into the detail or assembly you need. A sketch and key dimensions are enough to start.
- Folding and bending
- Press-brake route up to 3 m / 100 tonnes. Achievable thickness depends on material, bend length, radius and tooling.
- Welding
- MIG, TIG, spot and stud welding equipment. Material and joint requirements are reviewed for each job.
- Machining
- Turning, milling, drilling and tapping, including details on turned components. Size and tolerance limits are quoted per part.
- Assembly
- Rivets, threaded inserts and component assembly. Tell us how the parts must fit together.
We coordinate the manufacturing route. Structural design, certification, installation and specialist inspection are scoped separately where required.
All capabilities and material limits ↗Choose the finish.
Colour, texture and protection, specified for the material and where the part will be used.
- Powder coating
- Powder coating for cut and fabricated parts, with pre-treatment and shot blasting where appropriate. We confirm colour, sheen and assembled size with your quote.
- Galvanising
- Galvanising for suitable parts and assemblies. We confirm the process and any venting or drainage details needed.
- Polishing and graining
- Stainless-steel graining and specialist polishing routes. Specify the required appearance or provide a reference sample.
- Anodising
- Anodising for suitable aluminium parts. We confirm alloy, colour, treatment and part dimensions with your quote.
- Plating
- Plating to suit the required coating and component specification. Ask us about your application.
Bronze powder coating is a colour effect, not solid bronze. Samples and the final finish specification are agreed with your quote; screen colours are illustrative.
All capabilities and material limits ↗Raw materials.
The metal you need, supplied through APG. Order stock sections or cut lengths for your project, with help choosing the right material and size.
- Material routes
- Steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper, subject to the selected product’s custom-cut option.
- Sections, bars and sheet
- Angles, channels, box section, tube, flat bar, round and square bar, plus sheet. Available shapes and sizes depend on the material and grade.
- Stock or cut to length
- Tell us the profile dimensions, required length and quantity. We bring material supply, cutting and delivery together in your APG quote.
- Standard cut
- Standard cut-to-length tolerance: −0/+3 mm, normally a 50 mm minimum length. Ask for deburring or edge finishing if required.
- Clean edges or a closer fit?
- Request deburring, finishing or machining explicitly. These are additional requirements, not included in the standard cut-to-length claim.
- Unsure what to order?
- Send a photo, sketch or example of how it will be used. We help identify the section and confirm the specification before supply.
Priced for your exact section, quantity, edge requirements and delivery postcode. Request a current delivered quote through APG.
All capabilities and material limits ↗Finished beautifully.
Go beyond choosing a colour. Specify how the metal should look and feel, from softly brushed surfaces to a bright reflective finish.
- Bright or satin polish
- Bright (mirror) and satin (brushed) options for selected aluminium, brass and stainless-steel profiles. Pre-polished stock and custom polishing are available, subject to the section.
- Graining after fabrication
- Directional graining and regraining for stainless-steel parts, including a DP1 finish route. Tell us which faces are visible and the direction you want the grain to run.
- Edges and small components
- Linishing, fettling and rumbling for suitable parts. We review the edge treatment and surface appearance required rather than assuming a standard cut is a finished edge.
- Prepare, then protect
- Shot blasting and pre-treatment where appropriate before powder coating. Share the intended setting and a sample or colour reference so we can agree the complete finish.
Finish availability depends on the material, shape and exposed faces. We confirm the specification, any sample requirements and price in your APG quote.
