You have probably heard the expression that you will know your neighbors by the fence. The fence does not only serve to protect us, it is also a means to hint to your neighbors who you really are, so it is very important to choose a fence that suits you best well. In this article we will look at one particular model of fence, namely a wrought iron fence. Such a fence is beautiful and will perfectly complement the design of any garden. You can combine it well with any garden furniture, because most often the fence is more order and its shape is tailored to your garden interior. If we leave aside the look of the metal fence, we will understand that it is one of the most reliable protections of our home. No matter if it is high or low. Such a fence is stable and secure, because even if we live in a peaceful neighborhood without hooligans and thefts, there will always be some animal that wants to come in and pee on our meadow. Let's now look at all the characteristics of wrought iron.

Most people associate the wrought iron fence with a large financial expense, and they are somewhat right. Such a "creation" is not cheap, but the price is determined by the raw material from which it is made, as well as by the overall design of the fence. Of course, there are -cheap options, but they certainly use low-quality material, from which a number of troubles follow. You can recognize the wrought iron fence by the metal rods welded with various metal details. The variety is huge. You can literally have any design! About to get a truly luxurious and unique fence, I recommend you to order a handmade one, which of course will make the project more expensive. The colors can also be very diverse. From classic black to gray or green, for example.Before installing your new fence, you must also comply with the neighbors and do not interfere with the lighting of their property. If you still decide of your own accord not to comply with the neighbors' opinion, you risk worsening your relationship or being sued to push your fence.

How is a wrought iron fence made?There are three ways in which modern fences are made:
1.By welding.This method requires an experienced welder, but is usually the most economical option.M
2.Forging. This is the most expensive option.
3.Combined method. When combined, forging and welding. This also requires special skills and equipment.
Before ordering a fence, it is important to measure the length correctly. In my case, as shown in the photo, there is no need for additional cement posts, but mine is a sliding front door. When you want to install a longer fence, it may be necessary before installing the facility to build every 2-3 meters columns of bricks or cement. The photo below illustrates it well.

If you want a beautiful and functional wrought iron gate, I recommend you to choose a sliding mechanism instead of a manual one, because with just one push of the button, the gate opens by itself. And it is not convenient for anyone to leave their car on the street while you go to open the gate .Let's now say a little about the care you have to take for your fence. In fact, we're really going to say "a little"! Wrought iron is an extremely durable product, and as such does not need much of your support to do its job. To maintain the aesthetic appearance of the fence, it is good to wipe it from time to time, especially if you live on the street. Spraying with anti-corrosion preparations is also not mandatory, but it is recommended. If you have sliding mechanisms, it is good to lubricate them well every 6 months with different creams to avoid squeaking ... and that's all!
