M
olnar Metal Art was selected as the winner of the People’s
Choice Award for the best new product at Landscape Ontario’s 41st annual Congress, Canada’s Premier Green Industry Trade Show and Conference this winter. Attendees to Congress vote on
the People’s Choice Award from the products on display at the popular New Product Showcase. The garden gate displayed by
Molnar was a “Peacock and Ivy” theme. It’s one of five new hand fabri- cated limited designs of 14-gauge metal garden gates with an ellipse- shaped top and powder coat paint finish. After a decade of product development and market testing, this is the first year Molnar Metal Art has been marketing its products. “As the years went by, customers became increasingly excited about our ideas” says Dave Molanar, president. The garden gates are simple to install and come complete with easily reversible hardware. “This gate is one of our most
intricate patterns. This peacock and ivy gate is finely detailed featur- ing wonderful plumage that makes
a gorgeous
statement piece in a
garden.” The company offers its custom design and fabrication servic- es to landscape designers and fence and landscape contractors looking to integrate a unique, artistic element to their projects. Congratulations to Molnar Metals
