Common Types of Wrought Iron Gates That Safeguard Your Property

aqua-bright Wrought Iron Gates

This article describes the common types of wrought iron gates that typically protect your property.

Whatever fence style you have, wrought iron gates could be a beautiful complement to any property. This is because wrought iron is a durable, long-lasting material. The historic and timeless charm of these iron gates has made them popular among those seeking to further secure their property. This article describes the common types of wrought iron gates that typically protect your property.

Driveway

Driveway wrought iron gates excel at providing that touch of sophistication and protection to your property. For instance, if you don’t like unsolicited visitors, these gates are your solution. A solicitor on foot can’t walk past the gate onto the property to bother you, nor can a driver use your driveway as a turnaround. At Hercules Custom Iron, we customize most driveway iron gates to fit almost any driveway shape. Wrought iron gates also allow some visibility into what is happening outside the fence.

Walkway

With regular maintenance, walkway wrought-iron gates can last up to 100 years. They are a great choice for protecting gardens, dog pens, or pool sites. Since iron can be strengthened, they are almost weatherproof. When combined with an iron fence, walkway iron gates are long-lasting. Just like driveway iron gates, they allow for visibility outside of the gate if necessary.

Other Gate Options Available

Explore the different wrought iron gate types for your property:

  • Slide gates on wheels slide from left to right or right to left.
  • Swing gates open inward or outward. However, you must position outward-swinging gates with enough clearance so they don’t strike passing cars.
  • Barrier gates are engineered for vehicle and traffic control at parking garages and toll booths.
  • Vertical pivot gates are ideal when you don’t have the space for a slide or swing gate but need additional security than a barrier gate provides.
  • Vertical lift gates offer the highest level of security of any type because they retract vertically above passing vehicles.
