Wrought iron fences, as they are traditionally known, are actually made of steel in most cases. Though these fences are made of steel, most are still referred to as wrought iron, due to the classic style of fence they are designed to mimic. Many homeowners in Allen, TX prefer steel fencing because of the low maintenance fencing option that it provides. Steel fences are highly resistant to rust and damage, and are available in many different styles to accent your landscaping and increase curb appeal to your home. Aluminum fencing is another type of metal fence available to mimic the look of wrought iron, however, due to the fact that aluminum fencing does not offer the same durability as steel, we do not recommend it for residents of Allen.

All wrought iron fences include:
FREE 3 year warranty on materials
LIFETIME warranty on workmanship also available
Finest quality metal materials
Custom layout to accommodate site
