Ornamental Fencing

Ornamental fences have been around for more than a hundred years, and have since then enhanced architectural structures such as churches, ancient houses and buildings. Ancient ornamental fences were fashioned from wrought iron designed and produced by blacksmiths. At present, ornamental fences are crafted from modern materials and techniques. Components are usually attached together through fasteners, locking rods or welding.

In addition to adding a touch of beauty to the home, ornamental fences provide security, depending on the height, picket spacing, style and materials used. An ornamental fence in a residential property is commonly at least three feet high. The pickets can be attached above the top rail or with the top rail covering the top of the pickets.
