Iron Fencing, the Classic Choice

Iron fencing, or ornamental fencing, is a classic way to intensify the architectural beauty of a structure, be it residential, commercial, or industrial. Originally made from wrought iron, steel or aluminum are now incorporated into production. Most commercial or industrial fences are made using rigid, welded, or assembled steel. Aluminum is more common for residential use.

Functional As Well As Ornamental

Residential iron fences range in height from 3' to 6' tall. They can be designed with pickets above or below the top rail of the fence. Ornamental fencing, aside from its customized allure, is used to provide security in addition to keeping pets and children in the yard. You will also find them around hazards such as pools.

Gates and Regulation

As with any fencing type, the height and location of iron fences are typically regulated by local building codes. For industrial and commercial applications, fences are usually at least six feet tall.

Gates for iron fences not only enhance the beauty of the fence but are often themselves regulated where security and safety are concerned (e.g., around pools). Gates may be ordered to match or contrast the overall fence design and are often the centerpiece of the design. Electric operators are fairly common with iron fences for easy opening and closing. These are often self-closing and self-latching.

Here is what has been said about our Fencing Contractors:

I would like to say a few words of praise concerning Mark with Pyne Construction. Mark Pyne came through for us when no one else would. We were in a situation where we needed to sell my mothers home and had a bundle of construction issues that most contractors couldn't bother with. He not only took the work on but gave us Top Notch quality to boot. I would not hesitate to work with him again and I recommend him to anyone who has a project that requires quality and prompt attention.

This is just a quick note to thank you for your excellent work on my new bathroom. The custom shower is exactly what I wanted, and the remodeling utilizes the limited space perfectly. Again, thanks.
