Ornamental Iron Fencing can be more than attractive; it can add protection as well as security and beauty

Ornamental Iron fencing can provide many levels of security for residential, commercial, or industrial applications. The right combination of fence height, picket spacing, fence syle, and material components can provide the protection you need.

Keeping pets and children in the yard, or out of an attractive hazard such as a pool, are common objectives. Your local building code may specify required fence height or product features to alleviate safety concerns.

* Most residential Ornamental Iron Fences come in height ranging from 3 feet to 6 feet high.
* All Ornamental Iron Fences can be designed with pickets above the top rail or with the top rail covering the tops of the pickets.

Ornamental Iron Fence has the strength and rigity to withstand weather, climbing children, and abuse from vehicles and power equipment; most Ornamental Iron Fencing is made from welded or assembled steel. While steel is the most widely used material for Ornamental Iron Fencing, homeowners and commercial property owners are finding Ornamental Iron Fence styles made from aluminum is an increasingly an attractive option. While not as rigid as steel, aluminum Ornamental Iron Fence styles offer superior corrosion resistance, and low maintenance. The three primary types of Ornamental Iron Fencing are:

* WELDED STEEL - Black (non -galvanized) steel components are welded together to form a section. this section is then primed and painted. During installation the sections are welded to the posts at the jobsite, and these welds are then touched up with primer and paint. Welded systems can begin to show rust within a year depending on climate and must be wire brushed and re-painted periodically. If you are considering welded steel panels, I recommend that you insist on a Polyester Powder Coated finish over galvanized steel. I would also review their installation methodology to ensure that jobsite welding is kept to a minimum. Since small weld shops produce much of this type of product, it would also be wise to review the warranty and reputation of the manufacturer for a welded system.

* ASSEMBLED COMPONENT SYSTEMS- Most of the major producers make assembled component systems. Galvanized steel components (using a minimum G- zinc coating) are machine punched, and then given a polyester powder-coat finish. After coating, the components are assembled into sections using drive rivets or retaining rods. Assembled sections are attached to posts using brackets so the coating isn't compromised. This minimizes potential red rust problems. Some manufacturers assemble the panel before they apply the polyester powder coat finish.

* ALUMINUM ORNAMENTAL SYSTEMS- Manufactured similar to steel assembled components, these special aluminum-alloy components are powder-coated, then joined into sections using screws or retaining rods. Sections are attached through brackets or holes punched in the posts. Aluminum Ornamental Iron Fence styles should be considered for harsh coastal environments or when corrosive chemicals are nearby. If corrosion is more of a maintenance concern than strength and rigidity, aluminum may be your best alternative.

The time your are willing to invest in maintenance can help determine which Ornamental Iron Fence material is best for you.

* WELDED, PAINTED STEEL- Demands the most maintenance. You will need to wire brush existing oxidation and re-apply the finish paint every year or two, depending on the color and type of paint you choose.

* ASSEMBLED COMPONENT SYSTEMS- Offers a tough powder-coated finish that adheares to the galvanized steel that minimizes potential red rust problems. Systems typically have a 10-15 year warranty covering the coating and the system from defects in materials and workmanship. That means no routine maintenance is required during this time.

* ALUMINUM ORNAMENTAL IRON STYLE SYSTEMS - A limited lifetime coating warranty is available on most systems.

Ornamental Iron Fence gives you the unique ability to create an individualized installation that enhances your architectural design. Rings (circles situated between the horizontal rails), finials (picket tops) or other adornments add interests and style, so your fence becomes an expression of your own distinctive tastes.

the size and weight of pickets, posts and rails will determine the strength of your Ornamental Iron Fence. Any combination of larger pickets, posts, and rails makes an Ornamental Iron Fence more stable and secure. The tradeoff is that increasing the size and weight of these components will also increase the costs. A properly engineered Ornamental Iron Fence system will balance these considerations for the job at hand.

It is the most important part of your Ornamental Iron Fence and since it is also the only moving part, the gate is susceptible to sagging, sticking, or slipping out of alignment. Properly engineered Ornamental Iron Fence Gates use special gate hardware to help maintain proper operation, and meet security and safety concerns.

* Many Ornamental iron Fence projects showcase theOrnamental Iron Fence Gates as the centerpiece of the property, while other projects require the Ornamental Iron Gate to blend with the Ornamental Iron Fence selected.
* An Ornamental Iron Arched Gate or Gate Column can enhance the finished look of your Ornamental Iron Fence project.
* Electric operators can be added to your Onamental Iron Gate for easy operation and improved access control.
