Confirm the fence line, elevations, and gate locations
We verify the exact run of the fence, note any slope/grade changes, and confirm where gates will sit so everything lines up cleanly.

Prepare the area and mark post locations
We mark post positions and gate openings, accounting for corners, transitions, and clearances to avoid surprises once work starts.

Set posts and verify alignment
Posts are set in their planned locations, then checked for plumb and consistent spacing so the fence stays straight and stable.

Install panels/sections and check level/spacing
We install the iron panels and continuously check height, level, and spacing so lines stay uniform from start to finish.

Hang gates and install hardware
Gates are mounted with hinges and latches, then positioned so they fit the opening properly and operate without binding.

Adjust swing and latch points for smooth operation
We fine-tune hinge tension and latch alignment so the gate swings smoothly, closes cleanly, and latches securely.

Final cleanup + walkthrough
We clear the work area and do a final walkthrough to confirm alignment, gate function, and finish details before calling it complete.

Wrought Iron Installation FAQs
Does wrought iron rust?
Metal can rust if finishes are damaged over time. We’ll share basic care tips and what to watch for so your fence stays looking sharp.
Do you install walk gates and driveway gates?
Yes. We install walk gates and larger gates depending on access needs. Gate function is a major focus—alignment and latching matter.
How long does installation take?
Timeline depends on fence length, number of gates, site access, and design complexity. After the walkthrough, we’ll provide a realistic schedule.
Should I repair or replace an existing metal fence?
If posts are loose, panels are bent in multiple areas, or gates don’t align, replacement is often the better long-term choice. We’ll give you a straightforward recommendation.
