Complement Your Style

Your home&#;s style can help determine the right type of wrought iron fence design for your needs. Victorian houses might do well with triad speartops and a tall fence, while modern houses might be complemented by spherical finials and long, horizontal railings. 

Gates

How many gates do you want for your ironworks fence? It depends on how long your fence is. Consider a gate at the entrance of your driveway for security and privacy. You might have a gate to access a trash dumpster on a commercial property or multifamily apartment complex.

Height Versus Purpose

How high do you want your wrought iron fence? Luckily, an ironworks fence allows you to see through the posts while providing security. The height of your fence will determine how much security it will provide. A 5-foot fence is more ornamental, creating a beautiful border along your property. A fence that&#;s 8 to 10 feet is much more secure. Are you enclosing a pool or garden? Is the fence just for appearance and style? These questions can help you decide how high you want your fence to be.

Finials

Finials are the tips of fence posts. Modern fencing doesn&#;t necessarily have finials on every post. A wrought iron fence with a more traditional appearance usually has finials on each post. 

Finials for ironworks come in many styles.

Quad ball. This has a small ball rounded on top that fans out in four small wings to the corners of the finial. It&#;s like a rounded arrowhead.

Triad. A triad finial features a pointed top and two curved leaves that branch out to either side.

Spearpoint. As the name implies, a spear point looks just like a spearhead.  Teardrop. Teardrop finials appear as if they are the spade suit in a deck of cards with a small ball on top.

Spherical. Spherical finials represent the most popular choice for modern ironwork fences. These kinds range from the size of a ping pong ball to a tennis ball. 

Finials are the finishing touch of your wrought iron fence. They add style and security at the same time.

Stylish Wrought Iron Garden Fencing

Are you looking to update your garden fence soon? From bold contemporary fences to elegant, classic wrought iron garden fencing, decorative garden fencing can have a dramatic impact on your home&#;s aesthetic appeal. Fences do more than simply secure the space and mark boundaries of ownership. They add to the character of your home.
But how do you know which garden fence design is right for your house? Ideally, your chosen fence should be sturdy, weatherproof and resilient, as well as provide a unique and beautiful aesthetic that complements your home&#;s design. Wrought iron is a fantastic option since it&#;s a malleable metal. This means it can be crafted into a custom design to showcase your unique personal style.

Here are seven wrought iron garden fence ideas that are sure to enchant and inspire you.

#1 Contemporary Wrought Iron Garden Fencing With Art Deco Gold

This garden fence uses a stunning Art Deco-inspired semicircular pattern, Baroque florals and leafy concept to create an elegant yet contemporary result that blends seamlessly with the natural surrounds. Each leaf point is dipped in gold for a luxurious finish.
To achieve this look, ask your fence designer to:

• Look at Art Deco fences for inspiration
• Include Baroque florals and leaves
• Consider clover designs
• Create a &#;gold-dipped&#; look by applying gold paint to aspects of the wrought iron fence
• Rotate the spirals to create interesting three-dimensional depth in the design

#2 White Brick and Floral Wrought Iron Garden Fencing

With its clean, contemporary lines and intricate floral design, this white brick and wrought iron garden fence looks both ultra-modern and elegant. The tops of the fence are capped with sandstone-coloured material to mirror the accents on the house. The floral design is crafted of high-quality wrought iron for durability and to match the white bannisters on the Queenslander-style verandah.
To achieve this look, ask your fence designer to:

• Look at details already present in your home, such as the design of your verandah balustrade, for inspiration
• Combine materials such as white brick and polished black wrought iron
• Consider trims and accents in a light neutral shade
• Incorporate a simple floral design

#3 Black Wrought Iron Garden Fence With Ornamental Floral Design

This black garden fence exudes a classic Victorian feel. The wrought iron has been artfully sculpted into a delicate leaf and flower design, which was soldered onto the main fence. The stunning iron posts, carved into a sharp yet stylish arrow style, pair perfectly with the rich red brick of the home.
To achieve this look, ask your fence designer to:

• Take inspiration from historical Victorian fences with the arrow point style
• Join wrought iron motifs such as a flower, leaf or spiral onto a wrought iron base for a three-dimensional effect
• Ensure that all details are textured to look clean and stylised, rather than realistic

#4 Twisted Wrought Iron and Red Brick Wall Spiral Fencing

This beautiful fence features twists and spirals in polished black wrought iron. Inside the railing, the polished wrought iron features a subtle twist, while the outer parts of the railing are designed in a series of flowing, interlinking spirals. This flowing wrought iron contrasts beautifully with the structured lines of the red brick.
To achieve this look, ask your fence designer to:

• Draw a mockup that combines structured lines with flowing spirals and twists
• Consider symmetry when designing the fence
• Combine materials such as red brick and polished wrought iron

#5 Pecan Nut Tree Garden Fence and Gate

This gorgeous and unique garden gate takes inspiration from a pecan nut tree, with beautiful polished pecan nuts and leaves threading from a sturdy trunk in the centre of the gate. The wrought iron has been textured to give a realistic impression of a tree.

To achieve this look, ask your fence designer to:

• Discuss native flora that can be used as inspiration for your gate or garden fence
• Ensure they use a sturdy and weather-proof material such as wrought iron, which can be artistically crafted and textured to achieve a realistic result
• Apply a polish to make the fence details gleam

Final Thoughts: Choosing Decorative Garden Fencing

No matter the style of your home, there is a decorative garden fence design to suit. Updating your garden fence with a stylish design is an excellent way to improve the appearance of your home at an affordable cost.
Before you start, it&#;s important to take the time to consider how you would like your garden fence or gate to look, and how its aesthetic will complement the rest of your home&#;s design.
