Iron gates have long been a symbol of grandeur, security, and sophistication, particularly when they serve as the main gate to a property. They not only provide a strong physical barrier but also create an aesthetic appeal that can set the tone for the entire space. The design of a main gate iron gate is a crucial aspect of architectural planning, as it serves as the first impression and a statement of the owner's taste and style.

Furthermore, you can consider contacting architectural salvage stores that specialize in recycling old building materials. These stores often look for unique or antique wrought iron pieces to offer to their customers​​.

Post caps are another place where cost cuts can be made.  Lots of manufacturers will use a stamped steel standard cap which is easier to produce and squish on the top of the post.  For the more decorative ball style post caps, some will make them out of aluminum, or worse, plastic.  Our Stronghold Iron fence line uses cast iron caps for both styles that you can see in the photos below.  The cast iron gives it a nice textured and authentic appearance.
