Wrought iron is widely renowned as a material for building fences and gates due to its longevity and durability. If maintained properly, your wrought iron fences and gates could last upwards of a decade. Here, all of our wrought iron products are galvanised to prevent the formation of rust for up to ten years, but if properly maintained, your wrought iron fences and gates could easily last a lifetime.


However, there are certain situations where iron may be a better choice than steel. For example, cast iron is a type of iron that contains small amounts of carbon and other alloying elements, making it stronger and more wear-resistant than regular iron. Cast iron is commonly used in applications that require high strength and resistance to abrasion, such as engine blocks, cookware, and industrial machinery.
