Different Wrought Iron Styles
This fencing type comes in a variety of different styles and designs to help accommodate the personalities and needs of different clients. Wrought Iron fences come in both classic and modern varieties, including:
- Hoop & Picket
- Scrollwork or Ornate
- Gothic Arch
- Balltop
- Arched top
- Fleur-de-lis
- Closed Iron
- Spearhead
- Mixed material
If your home is more modern, utilizes more synthetic materials, or is in an elevated neighborhood, more classic options like Gothic arch or ornate designs would serve you well. In addition, closed iron or horizontal slats may be a great option if you want enhanced privacy.
That being said, traditional homes can benefit from a mixed-material fence, ball top, or spearhead as they are simple and don’t take away from the character of an older home.
Benefits Of This Old-Style Fence
Even though this fencing style has been around for years, it remains popular for a reason. Finding a quality fence that provides multiple benefits is crucial if you want your landscaping and home to remain in pristine condition for years to come.
Wrought Iron fencing is one of the most durable options for fencing because it is resistant to rot, insect infestations, and wear from the weather. This makes it a great option for busy homeowners who live in a climate like we enjoy in Idaho. The thick metal and minimal maintenance required makes wrought iron fencing great for heavy snow, rain, wind, and much more.
In addition to the benefits listed above, wrought iron fencing is a popular choice because it can be customized to your specifications. Different bar styles and the ability to mix materials opens up the door for this incredible material to fit seamlessly into your landscaping. Simply put wrought iron fencing is one of the longest standing fencing styles for a reason.

FAQs
Is Wrought Iron Fencing More Expensive Than Other Fencing Materials?
Yes, typically wrought iron is more expensive than wood, vinyl, or chain link fencing. The materials do have a higher upfront cost, but are durable enough to have a high ROI, but labor for installation can also be expensive. The typical cost per linear foot is around $30 to $100. Custom options or ornate parts of the fence will cost more.
How Do I Prevent Rust On My Wrought Iron Fencing?
Cleaning the fence frequently or installing a protective sealant can help reduce rust on metal fencing. Professional coatings like powder coatings or galvanization can ensure that your fencing looks brand new even through harsh weather or consistent use. Rust is caused by excess moisture, so it is important to seal all cracks and crevices. If your home is in a humid or wet climate, homeowners may consider another material.
How Long Does Wrought Iron Last?
With proper maintenance and a solid foundation, wrought iron fencing can last up to 50 years. Providing protection and privacy for up to 50 years is one of the longest lasting fencing materials on the market. Cleaning, protective coatings, and proper landscaping work will help you see a higher ROI out of your fencing materials.
