Post and rails fences are, sometimes, preferred due to the fact that they are inexpensive and useful for enclosing fields as well as demarcation. However, they are not a match for wrought iron which is considered the most solid type of fencing and can be painted any color. Moreover, it can be reinforced with wood in order to ensure lifetime warranty and easy upkeep.

For gate styles with ornamental artworks, iron fencing (wrought iron) is usually the best possible choice. Ornamental iron Thornton gate designs can be creative, unique and even slightly unusual. Different colors have different types of decorative appeal, but, regardless of the aesthetic aspect of fencing, the material is the one that allows for a fairly easy and rapid installation, which is why solid iron is, usually, the preferred choice when time is limited.

There is a variety of uncommon eye-catching designs for ornamental gates and ornate entrances. Besides color-matching, distinguished artwork is another important factor in iron fencing. However, artwork and color-matching can add up to five weeks to the entire installation process. Nevertheless, it can all be worthwhile in the end if the final results are not rushed and the whole process is carried out properly.

All in all, gate installation depends on the type of material that is being used as well as the amount of intricate detail that is added to the work. As a result, it can, sometimes, be more difficult and time-consuming to install than a complete wooden or vinyl fence.
