Ornamental Iron fences are actually made of steel. They are cheaper to buy, easier to produce, and are widely available. It’s easier for consumers to modify their wrought iron fences after installation. Many fence manufacturers also use wrought iron to put the finishing touches on an ornamental iron fence through casting or similar processes.

Cast iron fences are also more affordable. Some ornate cast iron fences may have accents such as arches, gates, or seats in addition to their already stunning look. The purpose of these additions is to enhance further the aesthetic appeal of the area that surrounds the fence.
