If you’re looking to install a new gate, then you’ll notice that wrought iron gates are typically more expensive than other types of gates, such as wood or vinyl gates. However, that additional cost is well worth the investment. The following are a few reasons why wrought iron gates are worth the extra cost:

Better Security – The strength and durability of a wrought iron gate will help ensure the security of your property. Unlike wood or vinyl gates, it’s practically impossible for someone to break through a wrought iron gate. You’ll also be able to see everything on the other side of the gate–something that wood and vinyl gates often don’t allow.

Less Repairs – Because wrought iron gates are so durable, there’s less of a chance that you’ll need to have it repaired. With wood and vinyl gates, there’s more of a chance that you’ll end up having to pay for repairs since they are more easily damaged, whether its due to rot, water damage or even plain physical damage. The lack of repairs can end up saving you money in the long run, thereby cancelling out the initial price difference.

Curb Appeal – Wrought iron gates have a certain elegance and sophistication to them that wood and vinyl gates lack. Additionally, wrought iron gates can be customized using ornate designs to further add aesthetic value to your property. Wrought iron perfectly compliments natural elements as well as any other type of existing fencing you may have, whether its wood, stone or vinyl.
