Our unique climate in Southern California can take a toll on our iron fences, as they are constantly exposed to humidity and moisture in the air, making iron victim to the process of oxidation. Over time, your iron fence will show the signs of oxidation with rust patches. Rust is the number one enemy of iron fences, and needs to be removed on the first signs of its appearance. This can be accomplished using a fine wire brush. Make sure to lay a tarp beneath the wrought iron fence to catch flakes, wear gloves, and carefully brush away all points of rust along the fence, paying special attention to the post and joints.
Wrought iron is widely renowned as a material for building fences and gates due to its longevity and durability. If maintained properly, your wrought iron fences and gates could last upwards of a decade. Here, all of our wrought iron products are galvanised to prevent the formation of rust for up to ten years, but if properly maintained, your wrought iron fences and gates could easily last a lifetime.
