Get matched with top wrought iron workers in Lone Pine, CA

While many fence companies and fence material retailers refer to their metal fencing as wrought iron fencing, most of it is actually ornamental wrought iron fence. This means that the fence is made to look like traditional wrought iron but is actually made out of either steel or aluminum. Old wrought iron fences typically found at estate sales or on older properties are much heavier and much more prone to rust than the ornamental wrought iron that newer homes and fences use.

The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you’re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you’re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider how far apart the fence posts should be to provide adequate support.

Wrought iron fencing is the most expensive type of fence. Expect to pay between about $25 to $35 per linear foot for a wrought iron fence panel. The cost of installing a wood fence varies depending on the quality of the wood, but you can expect to pay between $1 and $15 per linear foot for the lumber.

A wrought iron fence costs about $3,150 on average. The price can range from as low as $470 to as high as $10,310 or more. The cost to install a wrought iron fence can vary dramatically depending on the size (in terms of height and linear feet), design complexity, shape, and add-ons such as gates and decorative flourishes. Consult a wrought iron fence professional with the measurements and specifications of your project to determine an accurate estimate.
