The Bottom Line:
A wrought iron fence is one of the most expensive fences you can install. However, the look and feel of wrought iron is nearly impossible to replicate. It will not warp or root like a wood fence. It is incredibly durable, but if repairs are need- it can be very costly as welding may be required. Maintenance costs can be higher as the fence will need to be repainted periodically. If security is your main objective, a wrought iron fence can be a great choice.
