Protect and Beautify Your Donaldsonville Home With a Wrought Iron Fence From Big Easy Fence
Wrought iron protects a Donaldsonville home and adds a look that plain wood or chain link rarely delivers. Big Easy Fence installs and repairs iron fences in a range of styles and colors, from a simple standard fence to a fully custom design.
Types of Wrought Iron Fences
Styles vary in cost, design, and durability. These are the most common.
Standard Fence
The most basic style and the least expensive. Straight pieces of metal are joined together to form the fence.
Arched Fence
More decorative than a standard fence and a bit more expensive. Curved metal pieces form an arch.
Spiked Fence
Built with security in mind. Sharp spikes along the top deter intruders, and it costs more than the standard and arched styles.
Ornamental Fence
Similar to an arched fence, with more pieces in the design and more area covered.
Custom Fence
A design that includes exactly the elements you want. Custom fences cost the most.
How a Wrought Iron Fence Gets Installed
Iron installation is technical work, so a trained crew handles it. Here is what happens on your property.
Measure and Layout
Your property is measured so the fence fits precisely. If both the front yard and backyard get a fence, both are measured.
Height and Style
Fence height is chosen up front. Many homeowners go with 4 to 5 feet, and taller fences of 6 to 8 feet are an option.
Footings
Holes are dug and footings are poured to hold the fence posts.
Fabrication
The iron is cut, shaped, drilled, and formed into its final shape before it goes up at your home or business.
Gate Planned Early
If the fence includes a gate, it is planned in from the start of the project.
Why Homeowners Choose Wrought Iron
Security and easy upkeep top the list.
Hard to Break Through
The weight and thickness of iron make it very resistant to vandalism. Kicking in a gate or climbing the fence is a lot harder than it is with lighter materials, which helps prevent theft and trespassing.
Easy to Clean and Protect
Smooth iron wipes clean, so dirt and grime do not build up the way they can on wood or chain link. Powder coating adds extra protection against rust, which helps most where salty air is a factor. Styles and colors range from classic black to many others.
Caring for Your Wrought Iron Fence
Iron lasts a long time with a little attention.
Inspect Regularly
Look for rust or flaking metal, and for small dents or holes that let water in.
Fix Problems Early
A small repair now can spare you from replacing the whole fence later. Older fences often have rust spots that weaken under wind and rain.
Sturdy Support Underneath
A new fence needs solid footings and proper installation to stay in good shape.
Durable Exterior Paint
If the fence needs paint, choose a durable exterior paint and repaint on a regular schedule to protect the metal.
