Ornamental Iron Gates Create a Secure and Beautiful Property

The exterior of your home is a place where you can make an impressive impact on curb appeal and your home’s overall value. When you are looking to create a secure and beautiful property, you should look at the options available from Capitol Fence. We customize ornamental iron fencing in the Austin local area. You will have several options open to you in material, design, and opening action.

Which Fencing Material Should You Choose?

Different materials replaced the classic wrought iron fence. They fit the needs of the environment faced in and around Austin, Texas, and beyond.

One of the most popular materials in modern fencing is steel, which gives you a durable and robust gate. If you choose a steel gate, however, you will have high maintenance. Galvanized steel can rust. It also makes for a heavier gate.

The other popular option is aluminum, which is lightweight and requires almost no maintenance. Aluminum does not rust and is lightweight enough to be molded into the design you wish. The other main benefit of aluminum is the lower weight, allowing a less powerful and complex opening system installation.

Choosing the Correct Design for Your Property

You can choose from many options for your property’s gate design to provide security and a sense of boundary to your property’s borders. One of the most popular styles is the classic arched top gate design. Our Austin ornamental fence options are commonly seen and created in a single or double gate installation.

There are many designs to choose from, including those with a more ornamental finish that have finals extending beyond the gate’s edges. You can also select a flat-top design that is rectangular and has a straight bar at the top of the gate.

Double or Single Openings

Most gates have the design of either a single or double opening that changes the appearance of the gate you choose. A single gate opening has less moving parts and requires less maintenance, but the double opening provides a classic style. Both styles add curb appeal.
