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.

Furthermore, it easy to strengthen it by heat treatment by placing it at a temperature of at least 320° F for several hours.

In addition to their strength, wrought iron rail parts are also highly durable. Unlike other materials that may rust, warp, or deteriorate over time, wrought iron is known for its resistance to corrosion and weathering. This makes it a low-maintenance option for railings, especially in outdoor settings where exposure to the elements is a concern. With proper care and maintenance, wrought iron rail parts can last for decades, providing long-term value for property owners.
