Advantages of Wrought Iron

Fence Gate

You can use simple formation processes such as riveting, welding, brazing, and adhesive bonding to create different aluminum alloys.

Finally, the gate is a crucial part of any fence. Without one, there is obviously no way to access the pool area you’ve secured. A wrought iron pool gate will be 4 to 5 feet wide and made to match the height of its surrounding fence. To maintain uniformity, iron gates feature the same design as the fence’s panels with many of the same dimensions: 1-inch square railings, pickets sized according to the fence, and a 4-inch spacing.

Wrought iron, known for its durability and longevity, could be viewed as more sustainable because it often outlasts other fencing materials. The ability to repair and repurpose wrought iron also contributes to its sustainability. The process of forging wrought iron is also less energy-intensive compared to casting.

Remember, while this process may seem daunting initially, it's a simple task that can save you money and provide a sense of accomplishment. Always prioritize safety, and if you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to seek professional assistance. Happy DIYing!

Virtually all types of homes suit the beautiful aesthetics of a customised wrought iron fence. Federation style homes often favour baroque or vine-style designs involving leafy patterns, swirls and gothic elements. Bar-style fencing also suits this type of home, which can include elements like ornate poles, arrow designs, or imitation ‘picket fence’ tops to mirror a home’s stately design. If the home is an iconic white or grey tone, black wrought iron will also contrast stunningly with a white or grey-toned home, which is the usual colour palette of a federation home.

Post caps are another place where cost cuts can be made.  Lots of manufacturers will use a stamped steel standard cap which is easier to produce and squish on the top of the post.  For the more decorative ball style post caps, some will make them out of aluminum, or worse, plastic.  Our Stronghold Iron fence line uses cast iron caps for both styles that you can see in the photos below.  The cast iron gives it a nice textured and authentic appearance.

Installation Considerations

Head spears, often intricately crafted with precision and adorned with symbolic designs, were more than just weapons; they were status symbols and expressions of cultural identity. The skill required to execute a successful head spear attack was highly respected, and the warriors who mastered this technique were revered for their agility, accuracy, and fearlessness.
