If you’ve been pondering new residential fencing, you may have been put off by the cost of wrought iron. Even so, there are some definite advantages to a wrought iron fence that makes it worth considering despite this fact.

Longevity

Wrought iron fences can be expected to last a lifetime-or even centuries in some cases. When you consider the fact that wrought iron will likely never need to be replaced, it makes the initial cost of it seem much more reasonable.

Design Options

Since wrought iron can be molded into nearly any design, the choices you have are nearly unlimited. Standard fences and gates are available in a variety of styles and patterns, and you can easily have your own decorative touches added if you want something that’s not already being produced.

Easy to care for

Unlike wooden fences, wrought iron does not need to be painted or stained. The initial powder coat finish will last for years, and typically does not chip or peel, even when exposed to the elements. As such, it is virtually maintenance free, and will continue to look good long after it is put up.

Durability

Wrought iron is one of the most durable materials available for building fences with. This means you won’t have to worry as much about your fence being destroyed. Should a tree limb fall on it during a heavy storm, your fence is not likely to sustain any damage.

Restrains animals better

Some animals find it easy to climb over chain link fences, but the vertical rails of a wrought iron fence make this virtually impossible.

When you look at all the benefits wrought iron has to offer, it’s easy to see why it is such a popular choice. To find out more about wrought iron fencing, contact us.
