Wrought iron fence
wrought iron fencing built by 6-8ft wide sections made of 1-.1.5 inches of iron bars and typically don't cross over 6ft height, the wrought iron post will be 2x2 and they will connect between the sections by welding or by screws, the gap between the small bars at the section will be 4 inches and there is an option to add "doggy bars" that will create 2 inches gap between the bars and will be 1ft tall from the bottom of the frame, great option if you have small size dogs.
Installing wrought iron fencing in various locations around your property may be beneficial in the following areas:
The front side of your property - up to a 4 foot tall wrought iron fence keeps the front of the property looking open while preserving security. Usually, the wrought iron fence at the front of the property has a modest pedestrian gate that allows entry and exit.
The back of your property - It is usually up to 6ft tall and is a less expensive option than a wood fence.
The main disadvantage of this option is that you will not have privacy in your backyard, but it can be great if you have open space and nature to enjoy the view.
Division fence - Most of the time, a wrought iron fence separates the pool from the driveway; by code, if you have a pool in your back yard, it must be closed.
The wrought iron fence is a great solution because it closes the pool area while keeping the view open and giving the impression of a large yard.
Maintenance
Any property would look good with an iron fence or gate. However they will need care if you want to keep your fences and gates looking beautiful. Use these maintenance suggestions to make sure your iron gates and fences always look lovely.
- Take preventative action. When wrought iron fences are exposed to factors like rain and humidity, they can rust. To prevent corrosion, give your fence a protective prime coating. Rust is also more likely to form if your wrought iron fence is close to a pool, so it could be a good idea to apply a protective sealant.
- spruce up your fence. Warm water and dish detergent can be used to wash your fence and gates. After removing dirt (brushing difficult-to-reach spots), thoroughly wet the fence. The fence should then be entirely dry. Cleaning your fence helps maintain the attractiveness of your wrought iron and make it simpler to identify any prospective issues.
- Check your fence frequently. Your iron gates and fences should be frequently inspected to spot any damage that needs to be fixed. Check for any damage or loose or insecure footings, cracks, or evidence of corrosion. If the fence has been painted, check for paint chips and then take action to fix any issues you notice. The majority of wrought iron fence issues can be quickly repaired if they are discovered.
- patch up rusty areas. You can prevent further harm if only a tiny portion of your fence is rusting. Remove the rust with steel wool or sandpaper, and then use primer or a sealer to stop the corrosion. Retouching the paint on your fence will also help to hide any signs of rust.
