The use of wrought iron dates back to ancient civilizations. Initially valued for its utility in tools and weapons, it became increasingly popular for decorative purposes during the Middle Ages. Blacksmiths began to showcase their skills by crafting exquisite ironwork that highlighted the beauty of this malleable material. During the Renaissance, wrought iron saw a revival as artists and craftsmen embraced its capacity for intricate designs and embellishments. This period marked the transition of wrought iron from a mere crafting material to a significant art form.

Fence brackets are unique to wrought iron fences and often used to hold the fencing components to the posts. These slide over the rails, are set against the posts and are often then secured with a self-tapping screw to hold everything together. Aluminium fencing does not use brackets. Instead, rails are slid into punches in an aluminium post and then a self-tapping screw is driven through the post and into a rail inside it in order to secure everything.
