Wrought Iron Fencing

With its historic, ornate, and sometimes even Gothic look, wrought iron fencing has been around for years. You can see it at some historic churches and other historic properties in the area. However, it is decreasing in popularity for several reasons, including:

Compared to other fencing materials, it’s expensive to fabricate and install.

Since it’s pure iron, it’s not as strong as steel.

It’s extremely heavy.

Wrought iron is prone to rust.

A wrought iron fence will need sanding and painting if rust forms.

If you’re in love with wrought iron fencing and won’t settle for anything less, just be prepared for some added expense and maintenance. If you love the look but not the drawbacks, there is another option for you.

Steel Ornamental Fencing

Steel ornamental fencing is our top choice for a metal fence for your home or business. It has the high-end look of wrought iron fencing without the drawbacks. Let’s take a look.

It’s more affordable, is pre-fabricated at a factory, and is easy to install.

Steel ornamental fencing contains an alloy of iron and carbon – the carbon makes steel stronger than wrought iron.

It’s not as heavy as wrought iron, making it easier to install or repair.

Galvanized steel contains zinc, nickel, and cadmium, making it highly rust-resistant.

Steel fencing is powder coated and will not need painting.

Steel fencing can protect and beautify your home or business without hiding the view.

Which Metal Fence Is Right for Your Home or Business?

If you live in a historic neighborhood, check to see if you are required to use wrought iron fencing. If you’re absolutely in love with the ornateness and customization available only with wrought iron, then wrought iron should be your choice.
However, if you’re budget conscious and want a low-maintenance fence with the look of wrought iron without all of the drawbacks, steel ornamental fencing should be your choice.

Installing a privacy fence to enclose your backyard gives you instant privacy and protection for your children and pets. While cedar fence is very popular in the Denver area, Trex® fencing is gaining in popularity. And it’s not hard to see why.

Today, we’re going to go over the top 5 benefits of Trex® fencing for your Denver area yard.

It’s Eco-Friendly

Trex® Fencing is made from 95% recycled materials (reclaimed wood, sawdust, and recycled plastic), making it an eco-friendly choice you can feel good about. Trex® annually keeps more than 400 million pounds of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills.

No Splinters, Warping, Cracking, or Rotting

And while Trex® fencing has the look of a wood fence and comes in natural wood colors, it doesn’t have any of the drawbacks a wood fence does. It will never splinter, warp, crack, or rot. This means you won’t have regular fence repairs as the fence ages or is exposed to severe weather.

Low Maintenance

Trex® fencing is very low-maintenance. It may need a hosing down a couple of times a year. But it will never need to be sanded, stained, or painted to keep looking its best. That saves you time AND money every year, year after year.

No “Ugly” Side

In addition, with a Trex® fence, there’s no “ugly” side to the fence, unlike with a stockade fence. With a stockade fence, you see the backer rails, fasteners, etc. while your neighbor sees the smooth side.
But with Trex® fencing, you get the same visual benefit of the “pretty” side of the fence your neighbor sees. With its board-on-board appearance along with top and bottom fascia rails, a Trex® fence has a beautiful, finished appearance on both sides.

25-Year Residential Warranty

Trex® also provides an industry-leading 25-year residential warranty on fencing products. This is your guarantee that the fence will not warp, split, crack, or rot. If there is any sort of manufacturing defect, Trex® will either replace the portion with the problem or refund your money. The commercial warranty is 10 years.
While the upfront cost of Trex® fencing might be more than a cedar fence or wood fence, the low maintenance and increased durability can make it a more cost-effective and less time-consuming option. As always, we recommend professional fence installation to get optimal results.
