Spending more time in your garden is a fun way to get outside and stay active once spring and summer return. Along with cultivating the herbs, vegetables, and flowers that you use to make your home smell better and nourish your family (not to mention boosting your curb appeal!) you will want to make sure that your garden is beautiful and protected at the same time. That’s why decorative wrought iron is so useful.
Classic Wrought Iron
Most of the time, you will see black wrought iron. Although there are other colors available, this will be the most common. One of the reasons why is because it is aesthetically pleasing, and that’s one of the many functions of a garden: to look good. Plus, the black iron is associated with tradition, history, and a throwback to the past. It also helps your garden look more elegant and distinguished. It’s timeless and too surprisingly robust and weighty. It appears solid, and it can convey that message to anyone who sees it, even if you need to keep deer and rabbits from nibbling on your Bibb lettuce before you can pull it out of the ground.
One last thing to remember is that this material can also send the message that your yard is a place to relax. You’ll feel more comfortable, more secure, and more stable in a space protected by a classic wrought iron fence, especially if that space is found in your garden.
Picket-Style Wrought Iron
The picket-style of wrought iron fencing has its own set of benefits, too. Picket fences let more light into the garden, and no matter what you’re growing, everything needs to be able to absorb the sunlight they need to thrive. That’s why a picket-style wrought iron fence is a good idea for your garden, instead of vinyl or wooden fence that you might use around the rest of your yard. Smaller animals can climb through, and it shouldn’t be a problem as long as they don’t ruin your cabbages or wreck all of the mints that need to grow while undisturbed. Plus, you won’t need to rely on chicken wire around the edges of your garden box.
