Hi, My name is John Merrihew. I have been in the fence and gate industry for 22 years! I started out by working for my Uncle who owned a large vinyl fence company in northern Utah. We began making a steel frame vinyl gate which is where I learned how to weld. After working for him for a couple of years, I felt confident enough to start my own business, at the young age of 22 years old. Being newly married with a baby, the heavy Winters in northern Utah became detrimental on my business. I decided to move my family to sunny St. George. I grew my business by knocking on doors, meeting with local builders and by expanding my welding skills to include ornamental iron. I create custom ironwork. Including, fence, gates, balcony railings, pergolas, shutters, chimney caps and much more. I have now been serving the southern Utah area for 16 years and I work with several builders in town. I work hard to keep up with the growth that continues to rise here in southern Utah. It is my priority to not only keep the builders happy, but the homeowners as well. I competed on season 8 of the hit TV series “American Ninja Warrior”. I have used my welding skills to create ninja warrior obstacles to train on. I currently co-own three ninja warrior gyms across the state. Be sure to look for me (The Ironman) on upcoming seasons of the show.
