The horizontal design is basically a small-scaled patio sliding door, it’s not a very popular design, although it does allow the largest possible window openings of any.

Understanding the Components of a Rod Iron Fence
Country cottages require a fence that’s a little more on the delicate side while still oozing plenty of charm. You’ll often see simple timber picket fences on these types of homes, however, wrought iron can offer a quaint alternative with the inclusion of spiral features or simple arches.
Contact local scrap yards or recycling centers to find out if they accept wrought iron. Because wrought iron can be heavy and bulky, inquire whether the facility offers pick-up services, which can be particularly useful for large quantities of metal.
3. Aesthetically pleasing and versatile
Whilst less popular with dwellings, other opening types of aluminium windows and designs exist. These include bifolding, pivoting, reversible, parallel-opening, and inward-opening windows.
What Is Cast Iron?
Even a well-seasoned pan is susceptible to rusting if it is left to soak in the sink, placed in the dishwasher, allowed to air dry, or kept in an area prone to moisture buildup.
This one isn’t as exciting or as fun as looking at completed fence project photos, but its probably the most important and overlooked item that can make the difference between being an informed shopper and regretting your purchase. Cutting corners on component sizes, thicknesses and finishes is a time honored tradition of lower-end companies that try to undercut higher quality pieces with a lower price. Don’t get me wrong. Price is important, but if you are saving $20 and getting a piece that is half the thickness, weight and will rust in 3 years; are you really getting a good deal? Any fence and gate maker worth their salt will have the ability to provide you specifications (specs) on the pieces you are buying. You can find and download both our abbreviated ‘quick specs’ and our full specs on our specifications page. Look for something fully versed and thought out like our specs versus some simple bullet points or a short blurb on a web page.
