Caring For Your Ornamental Iron Fence
The best way to care for your ornamental iron fence is to protect it against rust and erosion. Make sure there are no plants growing up or around your fence that can damage the metal, such as scratching from branches or thorns. Use wax or water repellant to deter rust, and be sure to apply coats of fresh paint every year.
Be diligent about treating chipped areas by cleaning them with soap and water before using sandpaper, a fine wire brush, and/or steel wool to remove rust and paint over the areas once they are completely dry. Using a spray paint will help coat curves and sharp angles of your ornamental fence.
Be sure to clean the fence of grime and dirt when it accumulates. Use soap and water and soft brushes, like a toothbrush, to clean hard-to-reach areas. Finally, always do annual inspections for damage. Check the fence for rust spots, loose footings, hardware damage like joint and hinge wear, cracks, chipping paint, and so on. The sooner you find problems the faster they can be fixed and more damage can be prevented.
