Types of Iron Fencing Offered by Rocket Fence

Pre-Fab Iron Fencing

Prefab iron fencing is the most common since it’s powder coated and maintenance free, such as the Ameristar product made and shipped out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It’s also more affordable than getting something custom made. Prefab fence systems consist of posts, panels, and brackets. This makes for simplified installation and also makes it easy to remove and reinstall sections if needed later on if you are needing a temporary wider space than the gates you have put in. 

Powder Coated Iron Fencing

Powder coated iron fencing is designed to be maintenance free. In fact, if you try to re-paint a powder coated fence, the paint will quickly flake off and look worse than how you started. Powder coated iron fences are designed to last around 20-30 years (less if you are near bodies of water – more if you are in a dryer climate). If your iron fence is constantly being soaked by sprinkler systems or septic systems, it will speed up the inevitable rusting process.

Ameristar Iron Fencing

Ameristar fences provide all the convenience and toughness of an ornamental wrought iron fence without the hefty price and time-consuming upkeep. Compared to an aluminum fence, they have far better strength and longevity. Additionally, they have a high-performance "E-Coat" for improved corrosion resistance, this makes Ameristar fences far less prone to rust, distort, or chip over time than the steel composition.

Aluminum Fence Installation Houston

Aluminum fencing can easily be 25%-50% more than iron fencing, so the upside of aluminum really has to do with how long you plan on being at your current property. If your plan is longer than 20 years, then aluminum fencing is what we would recommend. 

Not all iron or aluminum fence systems are created equal. Some are welded or fixed panels and some are rackable or adjustable panels. Fixed panels are usually cheaper since they are not built to adjust for slope change, but if you have a pretty flat yard, it may work out just fine. If your yard has changes in grade or slope, panels are “stepped” up or down accordingly to follow the grade as closely as possible. Since fence panels are typically 8’ long, if you have severe grade changes, you may end up having some large gaps at the bottom of the section on one end. You can fill in that space with rock or some landscaping. Or you can go with a rackable panel such as Ameristar. The panel is made with internal rivets so that the panels can swivel relative to the rails and adjust for slope and grade changes. This is highly recommended if you have smaller dogs or children and also has a more appealing appearance most of the time.
