Wrought Iron and Ornamental Steel in a Wet Climate

Ornamental steel and iron fences and gates that frame a home without hiding it — installed and repaired across Portland, Lake Oswego, West Linn, and surrounding communities.

True wrought iron is hand-worked iron, and you'll still find it around some older Portland homes. Most new wrought iron fences are really ornamental steel: welded steel pickets and rails, finished with a protective coating and often a powder coat. They give the same classic look with strong, even construction.

Rain is iron's main enemy. Wherever the coating is scratched, chipped or worn — often at welds, picket tops and where posts meet the ground — moisture gets in and rust starts. A wrought iron fence lasts a very long time if those spots are caught early, cleaned down to sound metal, primed and repainted.

Repair work covers rusted posts and rails, broken welds, bent pickets, leaning sections and gates that sag or won't latch. Where a post has rusted through at the base, it can often be cut and replaced or sleeved rather than replacing the whole run. For new work, we set posts in concrete shaped so water runs away from the steel.

What Affects the Cost of a Wrought Iron Fence

These are the choices and conditions that change the price.

  • Height and length

    Taller, longer runs take more steel.

  • Design

    Decorative tops, scrolls and custom patterns add material and labor.

  • Gates

    Walk and driveway gates need heavy posts and hardware.

  • Finish

    Powder coat and color choices affect cost.

  • Repair scope

    Touch-up paint is small; rusted posts and broken welds take more.

  • Site

    Slopes and masonry pillars change how panels are mounted.

Every job starts with a free written estimate, before any work begins.

Wrought Iron Fence Questions

Is a new wrought iron fence really iron?
Most new ones are ornamental steel, which looks the same and is strong and consistent. True wrought iron is mostly found on older homes, and we repair both.
How do I stop my iron fence from rusting?
Keep the coating intact. Check for chips and scratches each year, especially at welds and the base of posts, and touch them up before rust spreads.
Can a rusted iron post be repaired?
Often, yes. A post rusted at the base can be cut and replaced or sleeved, and the panels reattached.
Can you match an old wrought iron fence?
We can match the general style, height and picket spacing. Exact matches to old hand-made patterns may need custom work.
Can an iron gate be automated?
Yes. Steel gates are rigid and work well with openers when hung on strong posts. See our automatic gates page.
