Your Wrought Iron Fencing Choice

Wrought Iron Fencing

The advice we got from fencing professionals is if you want to enhance the visual landscape of your yard, then a wrought iron fence might be the best choice for you. It works like any other fence in a practical application sense. You get the element of privacy; it keeps your pets off the street, the kids are safe, and it helps keep intruders out.

There are some additional benefits a wrought iron fence gives your home and yard that other fences do not. A fence made from wrought iron adds some elegance and style to your home. There are some benefits to appreciate when you select wrought iron as a fencing option.

See Through Security

Apart from the security aspect that a wrought iron fence gives you, it still allows passers-by to see landscaping around your home. Considering you can have any design you like made to order, it becomes a beautiful customised enclosure. A design like that provides enough security for your property and also makes your home stand out from the rest.

The fact that it is see-through and transparent does not lessen the security aspect of your fence. The top rail has pointed posts, making it hard and dangerous for intruders to climb into your property.

Easy maintenance

It won’t take a lot of your time cleaning a wrought iron fence. An iron fence also requires very little maintenance. There is very little discolour or rust able to mar the looks of a galvanised iron fence. That means an extended life security for your house.

With a rust-resistant finish, your fence will not have a corrosion problem. The fence can be painted to give it a newer look. If you have had matching gates made, make sure everything runs smoothly by oiling the hinges to allow easy opening. Over time, that squeaky, unoiled hinge sound can appear, but a drop of oil or grease is a quick fix.

Installation

If you so desire, you can have a wrought iron fence designed and installed creatively. By that, we mean that it doesn’t have to be used to surround the whole yard. It can be installed in specific areas that you choose. As well as selecting the right area, you can choose the height, width and design of many. Some options for best placement can be to the front of your yard or on the sides of the driveway.

Styles

You will see wrought iron fences installed in a couple of different ways. They can be erected between brick piers, atop short brick walls with piers, or stand-alone. The choice you make will be both a personal one and one that ensures your fence enhances the look of your home. For example, if you had a cement-rendered home painted a specific colour, the same painted-rendered brick wall with piers and wrought iron fencing looks great.
