Wrought Iron Fencing
There are few things as timeless as a classic wrought iron fence. Not only are these fences beautifully eye-catching, but they are also fortified and are incredibly versatile. There are very few property types that a wrought iron fence does not compliment. When considering a wrought iron fence for your property, keep in mind the below items:
When it comes to choosing fencing material, wrought iron is great for either residential or commercial property owners who want an exemplary, appealing look. These fences are stylish and can easily offset the curb appeal of any nearly any type of building.
And whether your style is more modern, vintage, or any other distinctive appearance, wrought iron can be a beautiful addition to your property. There is a reason that wrought iron fences have been around for over 200 years.
In addition to its beautifying qualities, wrought iron gives a home or business a high-end appeal. This is extremely important for owners who are concerned with investing in a fence that could help increase the overall value of their property.
Wrought iron fences are incredibly durable. Since these fences are made out of strong metal rails, they’re much harder to damage than say a vinyl or chain link fence. If a large tree branch fell on a wrought iron fence during a storm, there most likely would be no damage incurred. And since these fences are much harder to break than their counterparts, they will certainly last longer.
The security that a wrought iron fence provides is next to none. It is much more difficult for someone to scale a wrought iron fence due to the lack of foot and hand holds, as well as the pointed rails that make up this type of fence. As such, these fences provide a great security barrier – whether you’re protecting your home or business.

Wrought Iron Fence Considerations
Although there are many positive aspects to a wrought iron fence, there are also several cons. For instance, wrought iron fences are not the best option if you’re looking to privatize your backyard. These fences have a very “open” design, with rails that are too close together for someone to climb over, but far enough apart that you can see through the fence.
Unfortunately, since wrought iron is made of…iron, if it is not properly taken care of, it is susceptible to rust. It is incredibly important to exercise regular maintenance and care for your wrought iron fence in order to help prevent this. Ritual cleaning, paint application, as well as quickly fixing your fence when it needs it will keep it in good shape to help prevent corrosion. However, it is important to note that this care is preventative, and tiny pits within the iron still can trap water and cause rust; therefore, nothing is completely foolproof.
Due to material costs as well as a slower installation, wrought iron fences are one of the most expensive fence types to construct. This certainly shows in the overall look and appeal, but it is something to consider when comparing price points for your new fence.
There are many reasons for wrought iron to be a contender in your fencing needs. Regardless of which fencing option you choose, all materials have their own pros and cons. If you need any help regarding fencing selection or you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
