Flying Kayak Fabrication creates bespoke pieces that are personal, practical, and built to last. Whether it’s a custom fire feature, a garden accent, a commemorative installation, a vintage restoration, or a one-of-a-kind solution that doesn’t exist anywhere else, every project starts with purpose and ends with craftsmanship.

MORE THAN METAL.

A Custom Copper Water Wall Built Around Meaning

This commemorative water feature was created to showcase a client’s favorite piece of their son’s artwork. The original art was printed second-surface onto tempered glass, then integrated into a fully custom copper structure designed, fabricated, plumbed, and installed in-house. Projects like this are why we love custom work. Not because it’s easy. Because it means something. Built to preserve a memory. Built to become part of a home.
