We make the steel posts that coordinate with our wrought iron garden fencing. Yes they accent but structurely they add so much strength. Each post is made in our welding shop here in middle IL so we can make it any length. We use them to hang and latch our large wrought iron gates. The posts also easily interlock with our steel fencing sections.

Let us know your landscape design and we will can work out a plan to fill your space right down to the inch.

The wrought iron gate and posts with attached sides pictured here was for a 73″ span.  We could easily adapt another size to fit your space.

The posts will bolt down into your concrete and we can bracket to the house and garage at each end.  The interlocking wrought iron fence can be easily adapted to fit any size opening.

Consider all our fencing and steel gates at A Rustic Garden to enclose your flower garden, driveway, or entire yard.

Our solid steel fencing is what we sell the most of because it is very easy to work with. Many applications will not require any posts. Each section of fence has 4 stakes that extend down into the soil so the fencing will stake itself. After placing the first section in place you can hammer the stakes into the soil with a board on the top of the finial to cushion the blow. The next section will interlock or connect  then you work your way down your row of fencing. Wrought iron fencing is a great product and will last for generations.

If you would like to take some measurements of your fencing needs we can figure an exact quote. We will just need to know the length of each side and location of any gates. A drawing or diagram can be helpful as well. We can make several custom cut and sizes so we should be able to fit our sections to your fencing project.

My wife and I had originally planned on looking for a new house last fall, but we all know what happened to the economy and, by extension, the housing market. We decided to wait for things to rebound a bit before putting our own home back on the market. In the meantime, we were left with plenty of opportunities to make improvements and boost the property value.

While I focused most of my efforts on the back lawn and garden area, my wife took command on the indoor improvements. It struck me that prospective buyers would be making snap judgments about the home, so I wanted to give them a positive first impression. I put up a tasteful wrought iron fence around the garden and commenced the landscaping job I had been planning for years. In the end, we liked the improvements so much that we opted to stick around this house for at least another year.

My wife and I have never had any conflicts with our next door neighbors; in fact, our relations with them are cordial if not downright friendly. Still, we’ve always been insistent about staking a claim to our own backyard. The neighbor’s dog has a habit of crossing over onto our property to relieve itself, which wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the nitrogenized dead patches in the lawn.

We decided to take action by putting up some decorative wrought iron yard fencing. The new fence doesn’t keep the dog out per se, but it does send a subtle message to our neighbors that we’d like our property to be respected. Since installing the fence myself, I’ve noticed a marked decrease in the number of times Rover wanders over to do his business in our backyard.

With winter just a few months away, many homeowners are already thinking about alternative ways to heat their household. Gas and electrical heating are increasingly expensive, and they just don’t provide the same thrill and ambiance as a wood stove or a full-fledged fireplace. In fact, the fireplace is more than just a place for the family to gather round and huddle together for warmth.

It’s an inviting hub of activity in the evenings where each member of the family can recount details of the day. Just hanging around the fireplace and reading or sipping a glass of wine is much more rewarding than going into a vegetative state in front of the television. As such, it makes sense to invest in the aesthetic appearance of the hearth. Wrought iron fireplace screens act as a rudimentary safety barrier, but their primary effect is that of beautifying the space.

If you are wanting to add fencing to your home do consider wrought iron fence. A Rustic Garden carries welded steel fencing that is made by hand in a machine shop in middle Illinois. This great product is easy to install and will last a lifetime and available in 3ft, 4ft and 5ft heights.

The best part is “THE LOOK”. Fashioned from the antique  fence that dates to the early 1900’s. The hoop and spear design is as popular today as it was 100 years ago.

Flower gardens are in full bloom by now and an easy compliment to any landscaped area can be a garden fence.  Many barriers are either obtrusive and costly or will require a contractor to install which can also be expensive.  A wrought iron fence from A Rustic Garden can be installed easily, often without any concrete work or digging.

The popular hoop and spear design is also very unobtrusive and inviting.  So many fences are either flimsy aluminum or can block the view of your flowers with wooden pickets.  Wrought iron fencing will blend in perfectly with your surroundings as well as endure the elements and last for decades.
