How Do You Tell the Difference Between Wrought & Ornamental Iron?
Aluminum fence is easy to install; for DIYers, it’s one of the easiest fences to build! Aluminum offers the look of wrought iron, but it’s lighter in weight and costs significantly less. Aluminum fencing is an incredible option if you like customization—not only can you choose among several grades of fence, with increasing stability for grade; you can also buy it in multiple colors, which many homeowners appreciate as they can create a fence that adds greater visual appeal in their yard. One of the things most DIY experts like is that aluminum fence is also easy to repair should it get damaged as you can replace a single picket versus replacing an entire section of fence. Aluminum is also easy to install and works well in an environment with a bit of a slope as you can rack the panels to adjust with the angle of the ground it covers.
Finally, as steel is simply iron with more effort put into evenly distributing the carbon throughout the material, you can actually have a steel fence and call it wrought iron and still be perfectly accurate. It may even help you trip up the pedantic know-it-all in your life.
Aluminum profiles for windows and doors use a wide range of aluminum grades.

This one isn’t as exciting or as fun as looking at completed fence project photos, but its probably the most important and overlooked item that can make the difference between being an informed shopper and regretting your purchase. Cutting corners on component sizes, thicknesses and finishes is a time honored tradition of lower-end companies that try to undercut higher quality pieces with a lower price. Don’t get me wrong. Price is important, but if you are saving $20 and getting a piece that is half the thickness, weight and will rust in 3 years; are you really getting a good deal? Any fence and gate maker worth their salt will have the ability to provide you specifications (specs) on the pieces you are buying. You can find and download both our abbreviated ‘quick specs’ and our full specs on our specifications page. Look for something fully versed and thought out like our specs versus some simple bullet points or a short blurb on a web page.
