Iron, Steel or Aluminum?
True Wrought Iron
Real hand-forged wrought iron is rare today and mostly found on restorations.
Ornamental Steel
Most "iron" fences sold now are steel tube with decorative parts. It's stronger and heavier than aluminum, which suits estate entries and security fronts.
Aluminum in an Iron Style
Aluminum can be made to look almost the same, and it doesn't rust. Near the water, a good crew may steer you toward it. Ask which one you're getting and why.
Protecting Steel in Salt Air
Coating System
Steel needs a full coating system, usually galvanizing under a powder coat, to stand up to coastal humidity. Bare painted steel rusts quickly here.
Cut Ends and Welds
Rust often starts where the coating was cut or welded on site. Ask how field cuts are sealed.
Touch-Up
Plan to touch up chips and scratches before they spread. A yearly rinse to remove salt helps.
Decorative Options
Finials and Spears
Spears, balls and fleur-de-lis tops on pickets or posts.
Rings and Scrolls
Decorative rings between rails, and scrollwork on gates.
Arched and Estate Gates
Arched walk gates and double drive gates that match the fence. See driveway gates for drive gate options.
Masonry Columns
Steel panels between stucco or stone columns for a formal entry.
