Capabilities
POBOX provides architectural metalwork solutions for mid-to-high-end landscape architects, architects, designers and builders — a single team from first measurement to delivery. We design and engineer in-house, capture your site to the millimetre, manufacture locally and globally, and supply it install-ready for your builder, landscaper or trades — guided by our team, with specialist installation by our own crew where a project calls for it, so nothing is lost in the handover.
In-house 2D & 3D design, shop drawings and engineering liaison.
Survey-grade on-site measurement and setout with the Leica ICS 50.
Made to order in Ballarat or, to spec, at our overseas factory — quality controlled.
Supplied install-ready for your trades, with specialist installation by our own crew where a project calls for it.
In-house fabrication
From raw sheet to finished piece, we fabricate under one roof — with the machinery and welding expertise to deliver precise, repeatable, high-quality metalwork at any scale. Metal fabrication services in Ballarat →
CNC laser cutting for clean, intricate profiles and decorative screens — from fine perforated patterns to structural components, cut accurately and repeatably every time.
Fast, accurate shearing of sheet metal to size, giving clean, straight edges and consistent blanks ready for folding and fabrication.
Our 135-tonne press brake folds heavy-gauge and large-format sheet with precision — forming the crisp, accurate bends behind our planters and metalwork, including the deep, oversize sections many workshops can't.
Pulse MIG delivers strong, clean welds on aluminium and steel with minimal heat distortion and an excellent finish — ideal for production runs and larger fabrications.
TIG welding for the finest, most controlled welds where finish matters most — on stainless, aluminium and detailed bespoke pieces.
Prepared and powdercoated to your colour by trusted local partners, with finishes matched consistently across the whole project.
Precision on site
We measure and set out every project with the Leica ICS 50 digital templating unit — a survey-grade instrument that captures the exact dimensions, angles and levels of your space in 3D, and transfers our setout points precisely back onto site. No guessing from drawings, no surprises at install.
We capture your space in 3D with the Leica ICS 50.
Exact dimensions flow into our CAD and shop drawings.
Made to the real measurements, not nominal ones.
Setout points marked on site for a precise, fast fix.
Delivery & installation
Most projects are supplied install-ready and fitted by your builder, landscaper or trades — guided by our team with shop drawings, setout and fixing details. For specialist work — rooftop and crane lifts, oversize one-off pieces and compliance-critical barriers — our own crew can manage delivery, site access, placement and fixing to engineering requirements through to a clean final handover, subject to capacity. One team from design to delivery means a single point of accountability and a guaranteed fit.
Built for scale
We manufacture across two facilities working as one — the bulk of a project made offshore for scale and value, and the bespoke, oversize and just-in-time pieces made here in Ballarat. Every piece is POBOX-designed and engineered, and held to the same standard wherever it's made.
Cutting, folding, welding and powdercoating under one roof, with the capacity for high volumes and highly complex fabrication to the highest standards.
The bespoke, oversize and one-off pieces, plus just-in-time finishing to your construction program — made in-house and supplied install-ready, with specialist installation by our own crew where a project calls for it.
Together, the two give you scale and value where it counts, and craft and control where it matters — so large, complex projects land on program, to one POBOX standard.

Planning something complex?
From a single statement planter to a full rooftop scheme — we'll capture the site precisely and deliver a perfect fit. We start with an online consultation to discuss the brief, and for larger-scale projects our team comes to you on site to capture it precisely.
