A wrought iron fence is a handcrafted or industrially manufactured iron fence. The individual metal elements usually consist of several iron rods with elaborate decorative tips or balls, which are connected by more or less curved horizontal metal rods. These elements are attached to posts made of metal, masonry or stone. The classic wrought-iron fence usually has other decorative elements such as circles, arches, French lilies, etc., but there are also very simple models. The wrought iron fence can be custom-made by a blacksmith according to his own wishes. The elements are usually galvanized or galvanized and powder-coated, which protects the fence permanently and maintenance-free. In the case of painted metal fences, the paint must be renewed regularly.
