Wrought Iron Gates are normally made of steel, but are designed to resemble traditional wrought iron fencing. They can be combined with iron garden fencing, which is normally supplied as panels, about three feet square, with a spear post at one end which can be driven down into the ground. 

 

Wrought Iron Gates may be of simple traditional design, with exposed vertical pickets or straight top rails. The top rails may be curved upwards or downwards.

 

Decorative wrought iron gates are also available. These can be custom designed to reflect the customer’s preferred them, and may incorporate the name of the house, farm, or ranch.
