Forged items for the fence - stylish and aristocratic

Wrought-iron fences are always stylish.

Forging and casting are known to mankind for a very long time. Using these technologies, a man made tools, weapons, and what else? Almost all the metal was subjected to such processing.

The traditions of forging and casting have survived to the present day, and the resulting products are well-deserved in demand and are used to create reliable supports, gates, gates and fences.

Metal determines the advantages that products have:

• durability,
• strength,
• reliability.

And the openness and diversity of the proposed forms solves the question of the individual selection of elements and the manufacture of unique fences.

About processes

The magical birth of a wrought product.

1. Casting - the process of pouring the molten mass of metal into pre-prepared forms. Most often in workshops engaged in decorative works on metal, plaster molds are used for casting, although they can be cast iron, copper, and even bronze. After hardening, the product is removed and processed. In the production of decorative elements, this process is used little and only in the case of conveyor production of the same type of elements, this process is combined with the following.
2. Forging - the process of impact on a metal rod in order to give it the necessary shape. The heated metal is removed from the forge with the help of special tongs and on the anvil with hammers they give the product its intended shape. Chisels are used to cut off the excess and punches are used to obtain holes. The anvils themselves can be of several types and are used to give the products angular shapes or the shape of an arc. Also, when metal is processed on anvils, relief is attached to the products, and the elements are directly assembled using riveting or welding - gas or electric.

Types of fences

Very elegant look.

In the process of processing a metal rod, three types of fencing are obtained:

• Welded lattice fences;
• Forged-welded products;
• Forged.

1. Welded fences are most often sectional. (do not confuse with a sectional fence from a chain-link grid). The technology of their manufacture is quite simple and if you have the skills of welding, you can make them yourself. In this case, the contour is prepared from the corner, and then it is scalded. Then the rod is brewed into the contour of the required length with a set pitch. The section is almost ready. At the request of the owner, the construction for the span can be revived with forged elements, leaves, curls and other things. It will be interesting to look at the top of the decorative frieze. Given the cost of the material and self-assembly, we can say that the price of this fence will be small. A prerequisite is anti-corrosion treatment of the finished structure with subsequent painting.
2. Forged-welded fencing more complex in performance, they require the presence of forging elements. The whole set fits into a single pattern and creates a unique ensemble. The main material used for the manufacture of these structures is steel, which must also be coated with an anti-corrosion compound and then painted. These products will last a very long time, so the pattern used in the manufacture of fences must be thought out in advance. The number of decorative elements can be any, at the request of the owner. Such sets between brick pillars look very impressive.

Note! Brick fences with forged elements, forged sections on brick pillars are very common types. These fences are not economical, but they will not last for a decade.

Brick and decorative frieze - an interesting combination.

1. The fence with forged elements can be attributed to works of art. Here, every detail is subject to certain laws and can recreate almost any style, making the fence unique. The base and columns, built of brick or stone, in combination with bars, recruited from, for example, the peak and decorated with decorative elements will be beneficial to emphasize the style of the entire structure. Decorative elements for the fence in general can revive and diversify any design.

Fences where forging can be used

Brick and forged lattice very frequent combination.

Considering the fact that forged products are not cheap, they can also be used in combination with other materials as decoration.

The most common combinations are:

• Brick or stone with forging elements. Variant of half-deaf walls. The base and the pillars are made of brick or stone, and forged elements of the fence adorn its end. There are options from a set of curls and decorative frieze, to balls on the covering elements on the fence.
• Decorative lattices from shod details with a professional flooring. Fences from a professional flooring with elements of forging belong to deaf. In this case, there are options for decorating with wrought iron products, which are mounted on additional elements for a corrugated fence, as well as completely independent structures of spans or gates and wickets made of forged metal, covered with sheets. As in the photo.

Decking and forging - combined.

• There are modified constructions where polycarbonate sheets are used instead of profiled sheets. But in this case, the forging does not frame the sheets, but rather the polycarbonate sheets close the forged products from the inside, as in the photo.

Polycarbonate and forging is also an interesting solution.

Finally

How many people, so many opinions. Each person selects products to suit his taste and wallet, and no instruction will alter this order of things. The only thing we can do to draw your attention is to the beauty and we can say the aristocratic forging in the traditional video plot. When ordering forged items or acquiring ready-made in building supermarkets and hypermarkets, you can fully realize your creative fantasies in high-quality and durable material (read also about the merits of sound-insulating fences).
