The Ups And Downs Of A Wrought Iron Fence

• If you are looking for a fence that is both
  decorative and functional, then an iron fence
  might be for you. Wrought iron fences are
  durable, stable, and strong enough to accommodate
  most gardens. If made with the right materials,
  wrought iron fences can last for decades without
  rusting or corroding.
• Wrought iron fencing also has a tendency to lose
  its glossy finish, becoming more matte as time
  goes on. It is important that you take care of
  your fence regularly so that it retains its
  luster.

Post Fence

• Post fences are typically made with wood planks
  or steel pipes. The planks are nailed directly to
  the posts so they can withstand high winds
  without breaking.
• The most common type of fencing with this method
  is passive security fence which consists of
  horizontal boards spaced about every two feet.

Post and Beam
8

• A post-and-beam fence is essentially a
  combination of both post and rail fences. The
  posts are placed about every two to three feet
  apart with the beam extending from the top of
  each post to the top of another.
• The beams are generally made of wood or steel
  that is then cut into individual planks.

Post and Bracket

• Post and bracket fences are the most popular type
  of fencing. This kind of fence consists of steel
  brackets screwed to wooden posts. The brackets
  are nailed to the posts though some models use
  screws instead.
• Post and strip iron fence is also made with this
  method where strips of metal form an arch over
  the top of the posts.

Post and Panel

• Post and panel fences are also popular because
  they provide a strong yet aesthetically pleasing
  look. This method is made by screwing steel
  brackets onto wooden posts.
• The brackets are spaced about every two to three
  feet apart with vertical metal panels mounted
  between them.
