Hand-Welded Wrought Iron Fence with Finials in North Dallas

This is a wrought iron fence project we’re really proud of. It’s hand-welded and painted on site, with spear finials on top and a decorative band of rings between the top rails. Look at the photos: this fence is sturdy and elegant at the same time. The customer was very happy with how it turned out, and so were we. The project is in North Dallas, Texas.

Why hand-welded wrought iron

Most iron-look fences today are pre-made steel panels bolted to posts. They’re a good product, and we install plenty of them. But they come in fixed sizes, and they look like panels. Hand-welded wrought iron is a different thing:

• Built for the site. The sections are fabricated to fit this yard. In the photos you can see the run curving along the lot, with one continuous line and no stair-steps or odd gaps where panels didn’t fit.
• Solid joints. Welded connections don’t loosen the way bolted brackets can. That’s where the sturdy feel comes from.
• Room for detail. The finials and the ring band are part of the design, not add-ons clipped to a panel.

Painted on site

A hand-welded fence has welds and cuts at every joint, and each one needs paint over it. Painting the whole fence on site, once it’s installed, gives one even black finish that covers every joint. It’s more work than installing factory-coated panels, and it’s the reason this fence looks finished up close, not just from the street.

The details: finials and rings

Spear finials top every picket and give the fence its classic look. Between the top rails runs a band of decorative rings, the detail that makes people stop and look. The heavier posts carry their own finials, which gives the line a steady rhythm along the yard.

The result

A fence that’s secure, built to last, and adds real curb appeal to the property. It encloses the backyard beside the house and runs out along the lot, open enough to see through, solid enough to keep the yard secure.

Hand-welded wrought iron painted on site sits at the top of our $20 to $90 per foot range for iron fence installation, and finials and decorative elements like these are part of what moves the price.
