Wrought Iron Fence Repair

Preventing damage to your wrought iron fence

If damage to your wrought iron fence occurs, it is critical you have repairs made by a professional contractor right away. There are however, some ways to lessen the chance of damage in the first place. Here are a few maintenance tips:

• Inspect: A wrought iron fence is an expensive investment, so make sure to have the fence inspected at least once a year. You can do this yourself, but it’s best to work with a professional to make sure nothing gets missed. Either way, you’ll want to focus on trimming vines and bushes that might start to grow on the fence. You may also need to paint the fence if the current coat is beginning to wear in places.

• Clean: Using warm, soapy water to clean your fence can help remove spots of rust before they can cause issues. It can also remove dirt and debris to help prevent other issues too.

• Rust: Removing rust is often as simple as using a combination of sandpaper and a fine wire brush to scrub it away. Afterwards, you can paint, wax, or spray the area to prevent the issue from recurring.
