Great company! Greak Fence and Deck put in a double gate for us. The original gate was wood, very heavy and difficult to open. … Greak has my vote for a great fencing company. Will definitely call them again when I need fence work!
Wrought Iron Fencing Built for Actual Security,Not Just the Look
Meaningfully stronger than aluminum, and the right call wherever keeping people out of your property is the actual point, not just the finished look.
Where the Strength Actually Matters
Worth the weight,when aluminum won't do.
If what you need is a perimeter that holds up to somebody determined to get past it, and not just a line marking where your property ends, that is what iron does and aluminum does not. That difference is the whole reason to choose it over the lighter metal.
-
Anti-climb perimeters
Built to actually stop someone climbing over, not just mark where your property ends.
-
Commercial frontage
A finished, professional look for the street side of your business, backed by iron's real strength.
-
Entry and driveway gates
The classic wrought-iron look, fabricated to your opening and built to actually secure the drive.
-
Front yards
Security with a finished look. Both metals take the same coating, so what differs is strength, not appearance.
Why It's the Stronger Material
Built foractual strength, not just a finished boundary
Aluminum still secures a boundary, but it is not built to stop someone determined to climb over it. Iron is. It is the stronger material, and it is the right call around your property or your business where that extra strength actually matters and not just the look. Salt is the one thing that changes the answer, and we will say so if that is your situation.
What actually goes into it:
- A powder-coated finish, which on iron is the protection and not just the color. Aluminum has its own layer underneath to fall back on. Iron does not, so the coating is the whole defense.
- Genuinely stronger, not just heavier. That is the real difference between iron and a lighter decorative metal.
- Posts set for the ground that's actually on your property. Much of this area sits on heavy clay that moves with the weather, the same fact that governs every fence we set.
- The spots where rust actually starts, and we won't pretend otherwise. Not the middle of a panel. Welds, cut ends, a scratch from a trimmer, and where the post meets concrete and water sits. Keeping the coating intact at those places is what keeps your fence looking the way it did the day it went in.
Years From Now
Still holding,still keeping its coating
No gate that sags under regular use, and no perimeter that only looked secure the day it went in. Iron built and finished right holds both its strength and its look.
One thing worth knowing up front: the coating is what protects the metal, with nothing behind it the way aluminum has. A scratch or a nick left alone will eventually show, and it will spread under paint that still looks fine, so what you can see is usually less than what is there. That's not a defect, it's what iron does, and keeping the coating intact is the maintenance this material actually asks for.
A gate that's started to give, or a scratch left long enough to rust through, is worth catching early. Show us what you're seeing.

Call NowBoth take the same coating, so once they are up they look much the same. What actually differs is strength and salt. Iron is considerably stronger and the right call for an anti-climb perimeter that has to stop someone, not just mark a line. Aluminum is the call near the bay or around a saltwater pool, because salt is hard on iron and aluminum protects itself instead.
Yes. Iron is meaningfully stronger and stiffer, and it takes an impact or a pry better, which is what matters wherever real security, not just the finished look, is what you are after.
It can, because on iron the coating is the protection and there is nothing behind it. It rarely starts in the middle of a panel. It starts at welds, at cut ends, at a scratch from a trimmer or a ladder, and where the post meets the concrete, then works sideways under paint that still looks fine. That last part is why what you can see usually understates it. Keeping the coating intact is what keeps it from rusting.
Yes. It's the classic look for an entry or driveway gate, and iron is the material custom fabrication actually happens in, so your gate can be built to the opening instead of ordered to fit it. Built to actually secure the drive.
Yes. A finished look that still holds a line, which is usually exactly what the street side of your business needs.
