Before you even decide on your iron fence height, you should be clear on why you are getting a fence in the first place.
Are you thinking about getting a fence for your front or backyard? If you are, you must do your planning and research. You want to be sure you are an educated buyer that has thoroughly weighed the pros and cons of all the available fencing options available today. If you decide to purchase an iron fence you will want to be sure to choose the appropriate height. This primarily depends on your personal preference and reason for getting the fence.
Function
Before you even decide on your iron fence height, you should be clear on why you are getting a fence in the first place. This should always be step one in this process. A fence can serve several purposes. Examples of such are privacy, security for your children and pets and overall landscape appeal. You do not want to end up spending hundreds or thousands of dollars only to realize your new fence does not serve a purpose.
Choosing a Height
The height of your iron fence should depend primarily on its function. For instance, if you are buying a fence for only aesthetic appeal it generally only needs to be 1 to 2 feet tall. On the other hand, if the purpose of your fence is for privacy and security you will probably need a fence anywhere between 5 and 6 feet tall. In addition, you want to be sure to check the city codes and homeowners association beforehand to be sure your new fence will align with any and all regulations.
Fence Design
After determining your fences function and height, you will also want to consider the various types of fence designs. This also is based upon privacy, security and how you want your fence to look. Some options to choose from include, lattice, chain link, picket, privacy, and split-rail.
