    JULIET BALCONIES

Juliet Balconies

Juliet balconies are a popular architectural feature that adds aesthetic appeal and functionality to a building. They are named after the famous balcony scene in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet although it is unlikley that at that time balconies were mainly made out of steel as they are today. These balconies are typically shallow and not designed for outdoor seating or large gatherings. Instead, they serve as an extension of a room, providing a space for enjoying fresh air and natural light while offering a picturesque view of the surroundings. The Juliet balconies we make are often for extensions, where a new bedroom has been build with full length door that can be opened up fully but with the Juliet balcony provide a safety barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions about Metal Fabrication in Nottingham

  • Why choose Nottingham Metalworks for my fabrication project?

    We have built and installed many railings, gates and other metal items in and around Nottingham for a number of years. We prime and hand paint our gates to ensure a thicker and more protective coating for the spray painting and due to our low overheads are incredibly competitive on price. As we focus on bespoke fabrication you will be guaranteed a perfect fit for gate installations. Our versatility means we can offer metal combined with other materials for a number of items and for gates can offer sliding, bi-fold and electrically operated too. We provide a one-stop shop for fabrication in Nottingham.

  • Can you fabricate something from a drawing?

    We can - but clearly, this will depend on the clarity of the drawing, what materials you want to use and its size and scale.

    We are always happy to discuss what is possible and also what options may also work, or even work better once we have had an opportunity to look at your initial design. 

    If you have an idea for a particular one-off special design, please get in touch.

  • What is your most popular steel fabrication?

    Gates continue to be our most popular steel fabricated item. Several years ago steel and wrought iron gates were the most popular fabricated gate but as composite materials have grown in popularity for fencing and decking they have become very popular as the main infill for a gate. The steel frame provides a solid robust housing for the composite panels and the end result is a stylish low maintenance gate. 

  • Can you make matching garden furniture sets?

    Yes, we fabricate coordinated outdoor furniture collections including metal garden tables, benches, chairs and stools, and planters. By using matching powder coating colours and the same timber or composite materials throughout, we create cohesive garden furniture that looks intentional rather than pieced together. Whether you want all-metal designs or prefer combining steel frames with natural timber or low-maintenance composite materials, we can fabricate complete sets that coordinate perfectly with each other and complement your existing garden features.

  • Do you make outdoor storage solutions?

    We fabricate a range of outdoor storage solutions including wheelie bin stores, bike shelters, and weatherproof storage boxes. Unlike mass-produced plastic alternatives that crack in frost or timber storage that rots, our metal-framed storage uses robust steel construction with timber or composite panels that deliver decades of reliable service. All storage designs can be sized precisely to fit your space and accommodate your specific requirements – whether that's screening multiple bins, protecting valuable bicycles, or keeping garden cushions and equipment genuinely dry throughout winter months.

  • How long does bespoke metalwork take to fabricate?

    Lead times vary depending on project complexity and size. Straightforward items like standard gates or railings typically require 3-4 weeks from confirmed order to installation. More complex projects involving structural steel work, custom furniture sets, or substantial storage structures may require 6-8 weeks. This timeframe covers framework fabrication, powder coating, preparing any timber or composite materials, and scheduling installation around weather conditions and your availability. We provide accurate timescales when quoting and keep you updated throughout the fabrication process.

  • Can you combine metal with wood or composite materials?

    Absolutely – this is one of our specialities. We regularly combine steel frameworks with timber or composite materials for gates, garden furniture, trough planters, bin stores, and bike shelters. The steel provides structural integrity and longevity, whilst timber offers traditional aesthetics or composite materials deliver wood-like appearance without maintenance requirements. This combination approach allows you to match existing garden features whilst benefiting from metal's superior durability. We can also design furniture where timber or composite panels are replaceable, allowing you to update aesthetics without replacing entire structures.

  • What's the difference between your storage boxes and standard garden storage?

    Our bespoke outdoor storage boxes use engineered steel frameworks that won't crack like plastic or rot like timber. Proper weatherproofing through overlapping panels and sealed joints keeps contents genuinely dry rather than merely reducing moisture ingress. We size storage precisely for what you're storing – whether that's garden furniture cushions, power tools, pool equipment, or barbecue accessories – and can incorporate internal shelving, gas-strut assisted lids, and security features appropriate to your needs. The steel framework typically lasts 20-30+ years, whilst replaceable timber or composite panels mean aesthetic updates don't require complete replacement. Most importantly, our storage actually protects stored items rather than simply providing somewhere to put them.

  • Do you provide outdoor furniture for small spaces?

    Yes, we specialise in fabricating furniture sized precisely for your available space. For compact patios, balconies, or courtyard gardens, we can create folding garden tables, wall-mounted furniture, or dual-purpose pieces like bench storage boxes that combine seating with weatherproof storage beneath. Our made-to-measure approach means furniture fits your exact dimensions rather than forcing you to compromise with standard sizes. We can also design stackable metal chairs or nesting tables that maximise flexibility when space is limited, and create vertical planters that add greenery without consuming valuable floor area.

  • Can you make bike storage for multiple bicycles?

    We fabricate bicycle storage shelters accommodating anywhere from single bikes to 10+ bicycles for commercial installations. Domestic bike storage typically uses open shelters with overhead weather protection and Sheffield stands providing support and security points, whilst commercial cycle parking might require fully enclosed lockable structures with two-tier storage systems maximising capacity. We can design wall-mounted or lean-to shelters for space-constrained locations, or substantial freestanding structures for schools, workplaces, and apartment complexes. All designs incorporate proper weather protection, adequate ventilation preventing moisture buildup, and security features appropriate to your bike values and location.

  • What maintenance does metal garden furniture require?

    Properly fabricated metal garden furniture requires minimal maintenance. Powder-coated steel frameworks need only occasional hosing down to remove dirt, with no maintenance typically required for 10+ years beyond cleaning. If you've chosen timber components for benches or tables, annual treatment with wood preserver maintains weather protection. Composite materials require virtually no maintenance – just occasional cleaning – making them ideal for furniture that might otherwise receive neglected attention. This low-maintenance characteristic represents a significant advantage over all-timber furniture requiring regular treatment or replacement every 8-10 years, and far exceeds the lifespan of mass-produced aluminium or plastic furniture that typically fails within 5 years.
