Moreover, the material features definitive cross-sections allowing an easier machining process, which increases flexibility.
The most fundamental part of a wrought iron fence is the post. These vertical structures serve as the backbone of the fence, providing support and strength. Typically made from solid iron, the posts are installed deep into the ground to ensure stability. The height and thickness of the posts can vary based on the desired aesthetics and level of security. Additionally, decorative post caps can be added to enhance the overall look, giving each fence a unique character.
With pickets spaced about 4 inches apart along the fence panel, welds affix each one to both the top and bottom railings, keeping everything sturdy and completing the unit. A standard panel usually contains about 20 pickets apiece for an overall length of 8 feet. The full height of a finished iron safety fence panel mostly tops out at 5 feet, though 4-foot panels aren’t uncommon either. Local building codes tend to dictate the height required, so your experience may vary. Finally, at either end of a fence panel is a post.
