Ornamental steel fencing is a great way to add sleek elegance to any residential yard. This is why it’s one of the most requested fences by homeowners. It has a few customization options to make it one-of-a-kind and completely match your aesthetic.
What is an Ornamental Fence?
Ornamental steel fencing is fairly self-explanatory. It is steel fencing that is usually made from wrought iron metal with an aesthetic appeal to it. Wrought iron is well known for strength and durability, and ornamental fencing is great for privacy and protection.
The other noticeable aspect of ornamental fencing is the post toppers. Ornamental fencing is one of the only types of fencing that do not have a flat rail top. Northland Fence offers both spear top and flat-topped ornamental fencing giving you the ability to customize to your needs and wants.
How are Ornamental Fences Made?
Ornamental fences are made from wrought iron metal. This is iron that has been melted down and forged into the shape and thickness of the product being produced. It is an adaptable material because it isn’t using a casting process that forces the iron to be produced as only one shape.
After the iron has been melted it is mixed with a slight bit of slag, the waste created during smelting, to help with its strength and durability. It is then shaped into the fence products that we install. Ornamental steel fences can come in picket-style or panels depending on their production.
Chain Link Fence Fabric vs. Panels
Chain link fencing comes in two different types of production. The first is fabric. This is the class chain link fence that you think of. It is all of the meshed wire rolled up and it is installed by simply unrolling it and attaching it to the fence posts. The second is chain link panels. For these, the wires and mesh are already attached to the top and bottom rails and you simply need to attach the panels to the posts.
Neither one is better or worse than the other. It simply depends on what you are looking for in your fencing. Panels have the advantage a gate installation being easier, however, this is still possible with chain link fabric as well. If you have questions about which type of chain link fencing is best for your yard and needs, contact us today and we can help answer your questions.
Sizes
Like most fences, ornamental fencing can come in various sizes. Northland fence offers 4’ and 5’ ornamental fences. The higher the fence, the better the security and protective nature. However, with ornamental fencing, wrought iron is the hardest material to break and there are no footholds to climb. It is a protective fence no matter the height you get, especially with spear tops included.
Color
Ornamental steel fencing can come in many colors, however, Northland Fence only offers sleek black. It is the most popular option that our customers ask for and, as the saying goes, black goes with everything. A black ornamental steel fence offers a sleek elegance, unlike any other color.
