Wrought Iron Fences

Though “wrought iron” is often a design term today (many fences are steel or aluminum made to look like cast iron), this style remains a symbol of high-end, durable, ornamental boundary fencing. Guides note that heavy-duty metal fences (like wrought iron) are very sturdy and tailored for decorative/security uses.

Why choose it:

• Elegant, timeless look that adds strong curb appeal.
  
• Very durable and secure — difficult to cut through, excellent for premium properties.
  
• Customizable: finials, decorative tops, matching gates and hardware enhance the overall property aesthetic.
  

What to know:

• Upfront cost is higher than some other fencing materials.
  
• Maintenance (especially older iron) may include repainting or protective coating to guard against rust — though newer materials aim to reduce that.
  

Ideal for:

High-end homes, historic properties, estates, front yards or perimeters where style, permanence, and statement value matter.
