Iron fencing works great on many scales. We’ve written before about using iron fencing to set up a perimeter around your home, but you don’t have to use it exclusively on the large scale. In fact, iron fencing works great for small scale applications that don’t encompass your entire yard. Read about them in this week’s blog!
Small Scale Iron Fencing
Garden Fence
Garden fences serve the dual purpose of protecting the garden from hungry animals and adding aesthetic appeal. Iron is an ideal fence for gardens, adding a handsome aesthetic while serving as a durable method of protection for your plants and vegetables. Iron fence also makes it easy to frame your garden in the context of your yard, making it its own separate entity.
Walkway Railing
Railings that run parallel to the walkway up to the front door are another dual purpose application of iron fencing. Iron railings create a beautiful line in conjunction with the walkway that draws the eye to the entrance of your home. They also serve as a balance aid for homeowners of a more advanced age that adds safety to your outdoor walkway. Use railings on the stairway up to the front steps as well to continue the line and add extra safety.
Deck Fencing
Deck fencing provides safety, but it also presents the opportunity to add a beautiful, ornate design to your deck. Use iron fencing and railings to dress up your deck and protect it with the durability and stability of iron.
Gates
For narrow passageways, iron gates make a great decorative addition, and provide additional security for your home as well.
