Material: Low carbon steel wire, stainless steel wire.
Feature: Corrosion-resisting, durable, weather-proof, etc.
Special processes: Electro galvanized, hot dipped galvanized, plastic-coated.
Usage: For road, yards, sport fields, airports and public district fencing.
For hundreds of years ornamental fencing has enhanced the architectural beauty of homes, buildings and churches. Originally fashioned from wrought iron designed and forged by blacksmiths, today's ornamental fencing is crafted using modern materials and current production techniques. Steel or aluminum components are fabricated into sections using fasteners, locking rods, or welding. Once you determine your requirements, you'll find it's easy to select the appropriate ornamental fence for your application.
Our ornamental fence panels are manufactured by hand rather than by automated tools and can therefore accommodate any style.
Advantage:
High Rigidity
Welded infill tubes achieve very high rigidity. Steel construction allow for longer panels without sag under weight or stress.
Attractive
The ornamental fence panels provide a robust yet extremely decorative and elegant finish, which is also very suited for residence and parks.
Longevity
With plastic coating finish and hot dipped galvanizing undercoat, a steel fence panel can outlast an aluminum panel even in harsh conditions.

Match the design to your security requirementsOrnamental fencing can provide many levels of security for residential, commercial or industrial applications. The right combination of fence height, picket spacing, fence style, and material components can provide the protection you need.
Residential Applications Keeping pets and children in the yard, or out of an attractive hazard such as a pool, are common objectives. Your local building code may specify required fence height or product features to alleviate safety concerns.
Most residential ornamental fences come in heights ranging from 3' to 6' high.
All ornamental fences can be designed with pickets above the top rail or with the top rail covering the tops of the pickets.
Commercial & Industrial Applications
Attractive security is the predominate objective for business installations.
Fence should be at least 6' high. Various styles, rail configurations, and picket tops can be added to stop access or egress.
Decide what type of fencing material you need
For the strength and rigidity to withstand weather, climbing children and abuse from vehicles and power equipment, most ornamental fencing is made from welded or assembled steel. While steel is the most widely used material for ornamental fencing, homeowners and commercial property owners are finding aluminum fencing is an increasingly attractive option. While not as rigid as steel, aluminum ornamental offers superior corrosion resistance and low maintenance. The three primary types of ornamental fencing are:
Welded Steel - Black (non-galvanized) steel components are welded together to form a section. This section is then primed and painted. During installation the sections are welded to the posts at the jobsite, and these welds are then touched up with primer and paint. Welded systems can begin to show rust within a year depending on climate and must be wire brushed and re-painted periodically. If you are considering welded steel panels, I recommend that you insist on a polyester powder coated finish over galvanized steel. I would also review their installation methodology to ensure that jobsite welding is kept to a minimum. Since small weld shops produce much of this type of product, it would also be wise to review the warranty and reputation of the manufacturer for a welded system.
Assembled Component Systems - Most of the major producers make assembled component systems. Galvanized steel components (using a minimum G-60 zinc coating) are machine punched, then given a polyester powder-coat finish. After coating, the components are assembled into sections using drive rivets or retaining rods. Assembled sections are attached to posts using brackets so the coating isn't compromised. This minimizes potential red rust problems. Some manufacturers assemble the panel before they apply the polyester powder coat finish, which is not my first choice. I feel that coating the parts prior to assembly ensures a more thorough coating and better rust protection by coating all of the edges and surfaces that otherwise are hidden once the panel is assembled.
Aluminum Ornamental Systems - Manufactured similar to steel assembled components, these special aluminum-alloy components are powder-coated, then joined into sections using screws or pop rivets. Sections attach through brackets or holes punched in the posts. Aluminum ornamental should be considered for harsh coastal environments or when corrosive chemicals are nearby. If corrosion is more of a maintenance concern than strength and rigidity, aluminum may be your best alternative.
Determine your maintenance goals
The time you're willing to invest in maintenance can help determine which ornamental fence material is best for you.
Welded, Painted Steel - Demands the most maintenance. You'll need to wire brush existing oxidation and re-apply the finish paint every year or two, depending on the color and type of paint you choose.
Assembled Component Systems - Offer a tough powder-coated finish that adheres to the galvanized steel which minimizes potential red rust problems. Systems typically have a 10-15 year warranty covering the coating and the system from defects in material and workmanship. That means no routine maintenance is required during this time.
Aluminum Ornamental Systems - A limited lifetime coating warranty is available on most systems.
Consider the opportunities for customizing
Ornamental fencing gives you the unique ability to create an individualized installation that enhances your architectural design. Rings (circles situated between the horizontal rails), finials (pickets tops) or other adornments add interest and style, so your fence becomes an expression of your own distinctive taste.
