Along with new types of premises protection, classic solutions are still very popular. These include both vestibule lattice doors and forged grilles, which, undoubtedly, will be relevant for many years to come in a wide variety of applications. They are indispensable for a variety of purposes, from decorating premises, gardens and personal plots, to performing protective functions.
How forged products are used for protective purposes
The most common use of forged products is to create various fences and gratings from them. In particular, these may be:
bars on windows and balconies;
fences and gates;
fencing.
The versatility of wrought iron fences, gates and fences
Maybe a large number of applications of forged products. For example, many would like the site to be surrounded by a high fence through which nothing could be seen. Forged products can be relevant here too. Also, a fence that goes on top of a massive opaque fence can perform not only a decorative function, but also a protective one. After all, many centuries ago, humanity invented this type of protection against thieves, such as metal spikes, which significantly complicate the process of unauthorized access to private territory.
Moreover, design solution from the specialists of our company will help you make such a product in the most sophisticated way. Because those around you won’t even guess in this case the owner of the site really wants to protect himself from thieves, or simply decided to decorate the fence with beautiful forged elements.
In the same way, forged products can be advantageously combined with almost any building material. For example - brick, flat slate, concrete slabs, and even wood. The same applies to gates, various types of fencing, and balconies.
Wrought iron bars for windows
A classic option for protecting window openings is forged window bars. They look impressive, are relatively economical, and most importantly – reliable. They, like other types of grilles, can be equipped with an alarm system that will protect the room even in cases where its owners are far away.
Decorative use of forged products
As practice shows, forged elements in decor are a good design move that can make any room original and unlike any other. You can decorate with forged elements:
fireplaces;
stairs;
To give the room an aristocratic and expensive look, you can decorate it with pieces of furniture with forged elements. They will not only last for many years, but will also make the decoration of the room a real work of art.
Fireplace grates– also one of the classic solutions. However, the fireplace does not have to be real. Since today artificial analogues have become not only fashionable, but also a practical way out of the situation when real fireplace There is simply no way to mount them; many people try to decorate such products with original elements. Including forged parts, such as grates and appliances for servicing fireplaces.

Our company has been working in the manufacturing sector for many years metal products, including forged ones. Therefore, you can order from us almost any decorative item, or an element of protection for your home. The price of the product will be optimal for you. After all, modern equipment makes unique forged products more accessible than just a few years ago.
Before placing an order, you can find out its exact cost in accordance with certain features of the product.
All kinds of metal fences and fences are made from different structural materials, although they have the same purpose. To assemble elements, mainly steel and cast iron are used in the form of profiles, reinforcement, wire and rolled sheets. The entire composition can consist of heterogeneous components, as can be seen in the top photo, where concrete serves as the frame.
Different types of metal fences
For installation, combinations of wood, concrete, plastic, decorative stone, brick and plastic. Below we will look at the main types of metal fences and general methods of their installation, in addition, you can watch the video in this article.
Forged and welded gratings
- Forged fences and metal fences sometimes represent a real work of art. Although construction itself is architecture, it nevertheless represents a special type of sculpture.
- Although the fence itself implies a border, a zone of prohibition or exclusion, here such terms are, to say the least, inappropriate. The design belongs to the so-called “transparent fences” and, looking at it, we no longer see in this any limitation, but the skillfully done work of a master. Most often, such gratings emphasize the style of the building and even the entire estate, as shown in the top photo.
- Separately, we can say about, which are mounted not only on metal, but also on stone, brick and even wooden fences. Of course, the price for such structural artistic creations is quite high, but in addition to aesthetic parameters, which in itself is already very expensive, such a product has a very long term operation.
- In world architecture there are examples of such metal compositions, the manufacture of which dates back centuries. The example shown in the photograph also combines gilding with metal, but everything together is somehow integral to the estate and the palace itself, which indicates the high artistic value of the fence.
- Installation of forged and welded sections is carried out using brackets, which must be provided in advance in the support risers. Fixation can occur either using bolts or welding, although previously forged rivets were used. There is currently no point in using forging for fastening, as new technologies make it possible to do this faster and no worse.
Chainlink fences
- Chain-link mesh is also used for the production of metal fences, which is sometimes enclosed in sections of metal corner or fix it directly to the supports. They are relatively inexpensive, so they are quite widely used in the installation of border zones for vegetable gardens, summer cottages, as well as for industrial areas.
Advice. When stretching the Chainlink mesh directly over the posts, after a while it will begin to sag because it will simply stretch. To prevent this from happening, you can stretch the wire rod along the upper cells with your own hands and weld it to the metal posts.
Corrugated sheeting for fencing
- Most often, fences and barriers made of metal are made of corrugated sheets. Sometimes it is combined with foreign materials, as shown in the photo above, and sometimes it is mounted on a metal frame. Such designs have a long service life and all this thanks to technical features the sheet itself.
- pay attention to design features profiled sheet, or rather, on protective layers that envelop the steel. In addition to the primer and paint coating The instructions provide for the obligatory sticker of the film on the front part for safe transportation and storage of corrugated sheeting.
Advice. The corrugated sheeting is fixed to the crossbars with metal screws, but in order to prevent them from being visible, you need to use special roofing screws. Their heads are painted in almost all colors of the RAL table, which will make the fastening invisible.
The principle of installation of metal fences
- All metal fences, with the exception of self-standing ones, are mounted on vertical supports fixed in the ground. Considering the heaviness and windage of the structure, the supports must be strong, which is facilitated by the method of strengthening the butt.
- For this, three main options are used and the most durable of them is to completely fill the butt in the hole cement mortar with adding crushed stone or gravel. The second option involves butting or filling the hole with crushed stone, gravel or construction waste and then tamping it. The third method is to fill only the upper half of the hole with the solution, which also gives stability to the entire structure.
Conclusion
In our industry, the production of metal fencing and fences is quite developed, so finding and purchasing them is not a problem. You can also find many welding and forging shops where you can make a custom order.

The main functions of a fence are to mark the boundaries of the territory and protect against unwanted intrusions. However, the fence is an integral part of the exterior of the house and is also designed to decorate the surrounding landscape. The first impression on neighbors and guests is made by the original and reliable fence around country house. Unique, durable, solid, beautiful fencing is a fence made of metal rods with decorative forged elements. Among the variety of materials for fencing areas, wrought iron fences, despite their high cost, enjoy deserved popularity.
Originality, chic, nobility and beauty of forged fences
A number of advantages of forged fencing:
- Safety. A solid and massive forged fence psychologically prepares uninvited visitors to reliable protection from unauthorized attacks.
- Durability. Metal is more resistant to mechanical damage and temperature changes, and is less susceptible to precipitation and natural disasters. Once you invest in wrought iron fences and fences, you will protect your property from intruders for many years.
- Unpretentiousness. Wrought iron and metal fences decorative elements do not require careful care and permanent restorations. If the patterns on the fence are damaged, it is very easy to replace a separate part without affecting the entire structure.
- Impenetrability. If you want to protect your privacy from prying eyes, the territory can be closed with a continuous, impenetrable fence made of brick, stone, concrete, wood or polycarbonate, decorating it with openwork forged patterns.
- Diversity. Without the ability to make a forged fence or decorate a fence with a metal pattern with your own hands, the modern construction market, which has a wide range of metal patterns and a growing selection of forged fences and fences, will help satisfy your needs. It is quite possible to come across two somewhat similar designs, but two absolutely identical wrought iron fences do not exist!
- Originality. Beauty and sophistication, uniqueness and uniqueness of the ornament, the sophistication of the openwork pattern on the lattice or the inaccessibility of the forged gate - a metal fence will take any shape and form, depending on your preferences.
Functionality of fences with forging elements
According to their purpose, metal fences are divided into three main groups:
For a long time, forged fences emphasized the high status and solidity of a fenced institution. Today, as in former times, wrought iron fences enclose churches and palace and park complexes, mansions and theaters, squares and parks. Openwork fences add a unique charm country cottages and houses, emphasize the respectability and solidity of office and commercial buildings, the high status of monuments, obelisks and memorial complexes. Light openwork fences around flower beds and playgrounds, ponds and restaurants, small cafes and summer areas add sophistication and uniqueness to the landscape.
Ready-made metal fence patterns
Forging is one of the most expensive metal processing methods. Fencing the territory of a country house with a reliable and exclusive fence made of metal rods can be a big hit on your pocket. To decorate a solid fence made of brick, stone or concrete, you can use decorative forged fence patterns available on construction markets in the form of various animal figurines, plant ornaments, geometric shapes, peaks or curlicues located around the perimeter of the entire fence. Forged gates or metal plates on the fence columns will perfectly complement the monumental fence.
The addition of metal patterns on the garden and home will complete the design. entrance doors, garden benches and gazebos with barbecues. Forged front gardens and openwork fencing of flower beds will organically complement the exterior personal plot.
Difficulties in making a wrought-iron fence with your own hands
Construction with my own hands Forged fence is a very labor-intensive process that requires certain skills, time and special equipment. In blacksmithing there are two types of forging:
Having decided to install a wrought-iron fence around your personal plot, you need to equip it with a reliable, durable and high-quality foundation. Depending on the design, forged fences are fixed point-by-point on a columnar foundation or metal supports are installed on a continuous strip foundation. Ideal option for a high metal fence is strip foundation with concrete pillars. Durable concrete tape will withstand the weight of heavy metal structure, and the pillars will allow you to firmly secure the patterned forged sections.
The next step towards realizing your plans is creating a drawing. Lots of sketches forged fences presented on the Internet. You can draw a picture yourself by hand or create it in a graphics program on your computer. To produce parts of exact dimensions and correct subsequent assembly of fence sections, the sketch is transferred to a flat surface (for example, a large table, a sheet of plywood or chalk on asphalt) on a 1:1 scale, with detailed drawing of the stiffeners, decorative elements and protective parts of the sections. Having chosen the appropriate design, the amount of material is calculated and everything necessary for the work is purchased.
When making a wrought iron fence with your own hands, you need to consider several factors:
Equipment for the production of decorative elements of fences. Cold forging
In the process of manufacturing, assembling and installing the structure, you will need a vice, a grinder, welding machine, small improvised tools and brushes or a spray bottle for painting the finished fence.
Cold forging uses bending machines, which you can rent or borrow from a neighbor:
- “bend” for bending rods at the desired angle or with a given radius,
- “snail” and “twister” give a spiral shape,
- The “template” is bent into an even circle.
Ready-made decorative elements laid out on a template and spot welded. After checking the correctness and evenness of the connection of the parts, finishing welding and cleaning of the welds is carried out. The assembled fencing sections are painted or patinated and mounted on a prepared support by welding with posts or clamps. Treating the forged fence with special solutions helps extend the service life of a unique and very expensive structure. Once every 3-5 years, it is recommended to paint the fence with special blacksmith paint, primer enamel or Hamerite.
Without sufficient experience and appropriate tools, it is better to entrust the manufacture and installation of forged fencing to specialists.
The fence has long ceased to act as a barrier to thieves and has become an independent architectural object that complements and emphasizes all the features and advantages of the garden plot and your home. But as one user said: It’s easier to decide what to build a house from than to choose material for building a fence!
Difficulty of choice
So ? Stone, wood or metal? Perhaps there is no consensus on this issue, but only one thing is clear - first of all, you should like the fence, and in order to make a choice, you should ask the following questions:
- How will the fence fit into the landscape of the site and match the style of your home?
- What reliability and durability will the design you choose?
- The cost of the fence, in other words, how much money are you willing to invest in its construction?
Opinion of our forum member with nickname Pavel45:
– In general, all fences and enclosures can be divided into three groups:
- Decorative, made according to sketches by artists;
- Symbolic, standing along the perimeter of the plots only for formality,
- Monumental, erected where there is a need to hide from the dust and noise of the highway, from strong winds or from unfriendly, or even downright envious glances.
Symbolic fences are erected where there is no great need for them, but you need to determine the boundary of your site.
It is important to know that the device for fencing a personal plot must meet the following requirements:
- On the side of the street or driveway, the height of the fence is set to 2 m, the degree of translucency is from 0 to 100% over the entire height;
- On the side of the neighboring site, the height of the fence is set to 1.5 m, the degree of translucency is from 50 to 100% over the entire height.
- The height of the continuous fence between two sections should not exceed 1 m.
Also, when installing fences, you should remember that completely blind and high in a small area creates the feeling of an enclosed space.
Landscape designer and user of our forum Elena Gerasimova:
– Each site owner decides for himself what he wants to close and from whom to hide. Or, conversely, show the beauty of the house and site through a visible fence. Or maybe combine different ones in style and functionality in one area.
To do this, you must adhere to the following principles:
- It is advisable to repeat the materials from which the house was built in the fence, at least one or two, everything depends on the proportions. It is possible color solutions combine them. But this does not mean that a stone house has a stone fence.
This material can be combined with others and used in minimal quantities, for example, only for cladding pillars or plinths.
- If style decision is clearly expressed at home, then the image of the fence should not conflict with it, but complement it.
The house is the main “master” on the site!
- The shape, color, and material used in the fences create a certain image, and if harmony is found, then we can say that the fence is designer.
And there are no restrictions on materials in design.
All sorts of fences are important, but they are not always needed...
As the popular proverb says: they meet you by their clothes... Likewise, the fencing of a property can tell a lot about its owners.
In our climatic conditions, you can most often find three types of fences - wooden, metal and mesh. And although chain-link mesh is considered budget-friendly, with the right approach, the same material, but embodied in an idea, can look very interesting.
For example, having surrounded your plot with a net and chain-link, the perimeter of the plot can be planted with climbing plants, which, using the net as a support, will eventually turn it into a hedge.
Elena Gerasimova:
- Becoming increasingly popular hedges, either climbing plants, netted or trimmed densely planted shrubs or trees are not only beautiful, but also environmentally friendly.
But don’t forget, such a fence will require regular maintenance!
Wooden fence
Despite the fact that such a fence requires maintenance, for example, periodic painting, and its durability and aesthetics will directly depend on the type of wood, we can say that sometimes a wooden fence is one of the best options for fencing your site. The experience of our forum member with the nickname Spartacus.
– In front of meThe task was to fence an irregularly shaped area (pentagon), about 14 acres in the forest. One side was practically in the form of a neighbor’s normal wooden fence. The rest is just over 120 meters. To maintain the nature style of the Siberian forest, the decision was made: to build a wooden fence!
And really, what kind of metal profile can there be in the forest?
- When erecting a wooden fence, you should remember that its design most often comes in the following types:
- Fence with gaps. For example, due to the vertical, horizontal or lattice arrangement of the boards.
- Completely solid fence. With this type of fence, the boards are installed overlapping, which eliminates the formation of cracks.
According to current regulations, a blind fence cannot be installed between two adjacent areas. Otherwise, such a fence will cast a shadow on the green spaces on the neighbor’s land. Therefore, it is recommended to use mesh or lattice transparent fencing: picket fence, chain-link mesh, polycarbonate and other fencing options that do not block sunlight. A blind fence can only be installed on the side of the roadway.
- A combined fence using two or more materials. An excellent combination is provided by the simultaneous use of stone, iron and wood.
An interesting solution to this problem is offered by our forum member with the nickname olegok:
– The dacha begins with a fence. My wife wanted the fence on the front to be solid and block us from prying eyes, but solid fences seem gloomy to me, and from the point of view of ventilating the area, they are not very good. I decided that the best compromise would be a wooden lattice, like a blind, through which nothing would be visible from the outside.
With such a design, if you look from inside the site, almost the entire street is visible. But there are no more residents from the street.
Also, when installing a wooden fence, you should not forget about protecting it from sunlight and insects by painting and impregnating it with antiseptics.
Stone fence
, concrete or stone - it doesn’t matter which of these materials you choose to build a fence, but one thing can be said - such a fence is built to last for centuries and often in its appearance resembles the defensive fortifications of a medieval castle, making a depressing impression on others. After all, the fence is the calling card of your site. So how can a stone fence bring joy to yourself and surprise others? We offer a solution from our user - forum nickname Tetra59.
Even at the stage of building the house, the fence was made of corrugated sheets and mounted on a concrete grillage and pillars dug into the ground. But since the time had come to build a more permanent structure, the corrugated sheet with the corner was cut off, and in its place a fence made of foam blocks was built.
The construction of such a fence costs approximately 3 thousand. rub. per linear meter.
After the outer side of the fence was plastered and the inner side was lined with flagstone, sericite Tetra59 realized that his soul required something more, namely... to paint a drawing imitating rock art on the fence!
Tetra 59:
–
I met the artist and told him about the idea of painting something similar to cave paintings on the fence. Then we approved his sketches and prepared the surfaces for painting.
And although the construction of such a fence is not cheap, about 240 thousand rubles were spent on forged elements alone. the end result exceeded all expectations when they started taking children on excursions to the fence!
And here is the area between the house and the forest Tetra59 designed it differently.
– I didn’t want to visually cut off the forest from the house, so I cut off the temporary lattice and installed a decorative mesh. And she is almost invisible.
When installing stone fences, you should remember that such fences are much more expensive than wooden or corrugated sheet fences, and it is necessary to lay a strip foundation under them.
But, as they say, an original fence is not created by painting alone, especially if it was created by a user of our forum slonmoto from gabions.
– I have long wanted to use gabions for construction and decoration, and now I finally got around to trying it. The main thing is to see the result!
Gabions are volumetric structures made of metal mesh, and filled with crushed stone or rubble stone. And although they were originally intended to strengthen the steep slopes of banks, rivers, lakes and artificial structures, today gabions are becoming increasingly widespread, in landscape design allowing you to create spectacular and memorable designs from fences and patios to flower stands.
This structure is supported entirely by its weight, since everything is connected together, and one segment weighs several tons, which requires painstaking manual labor and leads to a significant increase in the cost of such a fence.
Metal fence
A wrought iron fence is not a cheap pleasure, and you can’t hide from prying eyes behind the delicate intricacies of such a fence, but the advantage ordinary mesh - chain-link only in that it allows you to quickly fence your area. Therefore, the most common material for making a fence is rightfully a metal corrugated sheet.
This fence is made from corrugated sheets - a sheet of galvanized steel coated with a polymer coating. different colors. The fence is installed on metal posts dug into the ground. And the corrugated sheet itself is screwed to longitudinal joists welded to metal posts. Due to the speed of installation, such a fence is quite easy to install yourself. Forum member experience karmanov- vlad.
- There was a dilemma - what kind of fence to make - wooden, on concrete pillars or iron. After visiting construction stores, studying all the price lists, thoroughly calculating everything, I found out that the most expensive fence in my area, as strange as it sounds, will be wooden, so I decided to build a fence from corrugated sheet metal.
When installing metal posts in the ground, you should remember that they are subject to the forces of frost heaving and in the spring the fence may become askew. To prevent this from happening, contrary to widespread belief, on heaving soils it is better not to concrete the pillars, but to drive them below the freezing depth into a pre-drilled well and then fill the hole with a sand-crushed stone mixture in a 1:1 ratio with mandatory compaction.
As for the costs of installing a fence made of corrugated sheets, you can rely on our forum member with the nickname Yuriis:
– I poured 100 m of 25x40 tape (from 35 to 55) under the corrugated fence. The pillars are 60x60, the distance between the pillars is 2.4 m. My expenses were:
1. Metal - 40 tr;
2. Concrete M-300 - 50 tr;
3. Work - 40 tr.
4. Logs 30x30 - 300 m. p. - 15 tr;
Yuriis:
– There are still expenses for corrugated sheets. I think that along with the work, the price of the fence will be about 160 rubles.
And here is the opinion of another forum member, with the nickname DimaGrek, who at first wanted to make a fence out of wood, but then changed his mind...
– I thought for a long time, chose, and wanted to build a wooden fence. After all, a dacha is nature, natural materials. But I still preferred corrugated sheet metal, because such a fence is erected faster and is cheaper than a wooden one.
Advantages of a wooden fence:
A natural material that is pleasing to the eye and harmoniously fits into the landscape of the site and the architecture of the house.
Disadvantages of a wooden fence: This type of fence needs to be maintained.
It takes longer to build and is more expensive.
Advantages of a fence made of corrugated sheets: Practical in installation and operation; cheaper than a wooden or stone fence; durable, difficult to climb over.
Disadvantages of a fence made of corrugated sheets: Reduces space.
To summarize, we can say that choosing a fence is an important step and to make a final decision you need to look at the fencing of your site from different angles. Only then will your fence become not just a fence, but a calling card of your home!
clearly shows how to make carved elements for a wooden fence. And this video talks about correct formation hedge.
The fencing of a personal plot must be reliable, durable, vandal-resistant, and also beautiful. There are few materials that meet all these requirements. One of them is metal. Metal fences are perhaps the most common, and the most beautiful of them are wrought iron fences and gates. And they are certainly both reliable and durable.
Forged or welded
Welded and forged fences and gates are made from the same material, but use different technologies. In both cases, the elasticity of the metal is used. But it is used in different ways, in different conditions and processes. During the forging process, a metal blank (a rod is usually used for fences) is heated, brought to a certain temperature, and pressed to give it the desired shape. The variety of shapes is great: heated metal becomes many times more plastic, which makes it possible to forge openwork and twisted elements from it.
Having collected a certain number of forged blanks, they are combined into sections, which are then mounted on support pillars. Due to the fact that the work is carried out with softened metal, it is possible to combine the elements of the fence into a single whole almost without seams. Due to this, the forged fence looks very neat.
When creating welded fences, the elasticity of the metal is also used, but in a cold state. Twisted and curved elements are also made from rods - the process is called “cold forging”. To obtain welded fence elements of different shapes, there are tools that allow you to change the shape of the workpieces without heating. But, in a cold state, the ductility of the metal is less, and there are fewer possible variations.
When creating welded fences, the elements are combined by welding. This causes the presence of welded seams. This - the lower artistic value and the presence of seams - is the main difference between welded and forged fences. Otherwise (functionality, durability) they are the same. What else is the difference? In price and production time. Forged fences and gates require much more time to manufacture and cost more, since the process requires special skills and high qualifications. Welded ones are faster and easier to make, and therefore the price is lower.
There is also an intermediate type - forged-welded fences. In them, the elements are made by forging, and in sections they are assembled and fastened to each other by welding. Such fences look no less presentable than forged ones, and are cheaper, since the manufacturing process is less labor-intensive.
Types of forged fences
We will talk about what materials are used in combination to make forged fences and gates. It’s no secret that metal lace is too transparent and serves only as a physical barrier, and only if the sections are of a considerable height. To block the courtyard from view, it is necessary to place an opaque material behind the wrought iron weave. We will talk about what to combine a wrought iron fence with.
Posts for forged and welded fences
Forged or welded sections of a metal fence can be mounted on metal or. These are the two types of support that are used in most cases. If you are planning to make a fence combined type(opaque material is installed behind the forged section), the best option- With brick pillars. The windage of the combined fence is high, and such a base will be reliable and will withstand any wind.
Looking at this, you understand what the difference is. Monumental... So many different elements... Forged twisted elements are closer
There is another common option - a stone foundation into which metal pillars are mounted. This option for a fence can be considered optimal: it is not as heavy as with stone pillars, but, at the same time, reliable.
With metal or corrugated sheet
Quite often you can find a combination of a forged fence section with a painted metal sheet installed at the back. As an option, corrugated roofing sheets can be used. It has a factory paint job that is designed to withstand the elements. In this case, the forged elements are painted black, and the color of the metal behind it is matched to the color of the roof of the house or cottage.
Combined fence made of forged sections and corrugated sheets
But the profiled sheet has a formed relief, which not everyone likes in combination with forging. In this case, use a sheet of metal. But it must be carefully treated with anti-corrosion compounds, coated with a primer and only then painted. In this case appearance metal will last for a long time. This option is good because you can choose any color you like: bronze, silver, some unusual shade.
The combination of a forged fence with a metal sheet results in a very reliable fence. Strength metal sheet reinforced with a lattice of forged rods. In addition, it turns out organically and beautifully. Openwork forged bindings against a colored background look bright and impressive.
With polycarbonate
Often wrought iron fences and gates are supplemented with polycarbonate. This material is not only cellular, but also sheet. Sheet is more durable and can withstand even a blow from a stone, and some models are bulletproof and are used in banks. Although the interweaving of the fence rods does not require special strength, such material can be a salvation from vandals.
Polycarbonate can be painted in different colors. The most commonly used colors are matte white or with a slight tint, while brown and bronze are also popular. Even when colored in bulk, they are translucent. Behind such a fence, movement can be discerned, but details and details cannot be seen.
Polycarbonate of any type is easy to cut, so it can be used to decorate only certain parts of the fence, for example, you can make colored inserts.
With a tree
The wood itself is both decorative and strong enough to create fences. - a large group, but in combination with forged elements it turns out even more beautiful.
There are two options for forged or welded fences with wood. The first is a forged metal frame with sparsely spaced metal elements. This frame is filled with densely spaced boards. It’s difficult to say which material is the main one. If we take it by quantity, then it is wood, but the frame is made of metal, which unites everything, although the metal part itself cannot be a fence: the weave is too sparse. Sometimes it's just a frame around the perimeter and patterns on top/bottom. By the way, the fences they make are interesting. Many look like fairy tales - they will go perfectly with a wooden house.
A representative of the second type - forged gates and fences covered with boards. Just like something out of a fairy tale...
The second type is sections of a full-fledged forged fence, covered with boards on the back side (from the yard). In rare cases, boards are inserted into metal frames. The main difference is that a metal frame can be a fence without boards; they are just an addition.
Schemes and sketches for welded and forged fences and enclosures
Owning your own home forces you to gain knowledge in various areas - even if you don’t do everything yourself, it is very desirable to supervise the work of hired workers. Then the result is guaranteed to be at least not below average. And you generally have to choose the style, design and other individual things yourself, otherwise designers will do what they think is fashionable or beautiful.
For inspiration, we have collected a number of sketches and diagrams of forged fences. Some of them are simpler, some are very individual. For the former, it’s not difficult to find performers, but if you want to order a fence from those that are “more complicated,” you’ll have to search. And it’s better to at least see a couple of samples with your own eyes.
Photos of beautiful and unusual wrought iron fences
It’s not for nothing that sculptures are made from metal. The material is very plastic, durable, allowing you to realize any fantasies and ideas. Looking at photos of some forged fences and gates, you often wonder: is this just a fence, or an object of artistic value?
It's beautiful... Isn't it?
