Ornamental Iron & Aluminum Fencing
Combining security with elegance, ornamental iron and aluminum fences enhance the look of your property while providing a durable barrier. Whether you’re aiming for classic Victorian scrollwork or sleek modern lines, metal fences offer timeless appeal and exceptional strength. They’re ideal for front yards, estate perimeters, garden gates, pool enclosures and commercial properties.
Benefits of Ornamental Metal Fences
Security: Wrought iron and steel are strong and difficult to breach. Tall pickets with spear tops deter climbing and discourage intruders.
Curb appeal: Ornamental fences elevate the appearance of your home. Custom finials, rings, scrolls and cast iron elements create a unique focal point.
Durability: Powder‑coated iron and aluminum resist rust, fading and chipping. Aluminum is lightweight and doesn’t rust, making it ideal for coastal areas.
Low maintenance: Metal fences require only occasional cleaning. Unlike wood, they don’t need staining or sealing.
Versatility: Designs range from decorative picket fences to imposing estate fences. Height can be customised, and rails can be straight, arched or curved.
Materials & Styles
Wrought Iron & Steel
Traditional wrought iron is hand‑worked to create intricate designs. Modern steel fences mimic the look of wrought iron but are fabricated from tubular steel, making them lighter and more affordable. Pickets can have spear, fleur‑de‑lis or ball finials; rails may feature decorative castings. Powder coatings protect against corrosion and allow for custom colours.
Aluminum
Aluminum fences offer the elegance of iron with less weight and no rust. They are resistant to corrosion, even in marine environments. Styles include flat‑top pickets, spear‑top pickets, alternating spear and flat, and two‑rail designs. Aluminum fences are ideal around pools because they meet safety codes while maintaining visibility.
Applications
Front yard & garden fencing: Enhance curb appeal and provide a subtle boundary without blocking views.
Pool enclosures: Meet pool safety codes with a fence that complements your landscape design.
Driveway gates: Add prestige and security with custom gates. Combine with access control for convenience.
Commercial properties: Provide professional security without a fortress look.

FAQs
Will my metal fence rust? Aluminum will not rust. Steel and wrought iron fences are powder‑coated and should resist rust for years. If scratched, touch‑up paint prevents corrosion.
How tall should my metal fence be? We’ll work within local codes and your desired level of security. Common heights range from 3 to 6 feet for decorative fences; security fences may be taller.
Can you automate my gate? Yes. We install automatic openers on swing or sliding gates. Options include keypad entry, remotes, smartphone controls and intercom systems.
