1066 — the Battle of Hastings
In 1066, one of the most significant battles in English history was fought at a place called Hastings. The Norman conquest. The last successful invasion of England. The event that changed the English language, the English legal system, and the course of European history.
It also happens to be my surname & the name of the suburb on the Mornington Peninsula where Ten66’s workshop sits
Ten66. The Battle of Hastings. Hastings, Victoria. The numbers and the place — the same.
Why the small things matter
What it actually means for you
The name Ten66 is a bit of a shorthand for everything I’ve described. It’s local. It’s considered. It’s not accidental.
When you work with Ten66, you’re not buying a gate from a catalogue. You’re commissioning something made specifically for your property by a team that has been doing precision fabrication work for the better part of a decade.
The gate or fence you end up with will be the only one like it. That’s not a marketing line — it’s just a fact of how we work.
Eight years in Hastings
Ten66 has been operating from the same Hastings workshop for eight years. In that time the team has grown, the processes have been refined, and the range has expanded to cover six gate configurations plus standalone fencing.
What hasn’t changed is the approach. One company, responsible for every stage. Design, manufacture, installation — all from the same workshop, all to the same standard.
If you’re thinking about gates or fencing for your property, we’d like to hear about it. Tell us what you have in mind — and upload a photo of your frontage if you have one. We’ll come to the first conversation already thinking about your specific situation.
All the best Richard Hastings
