So far we have skimmed over the basics of design, enough perhaps to get you started on journey to designing you own. Now we need to be more specific and start looking a little deeper into wrought iron design. We now have look at Railings, Gates, balconies etc in detail. This means giving each their own page or pages so we can look at design details specific to each type. But it also means providing reference material.
It also allows the examples to be targeted, which makes it easier to understand.
Gates
Gates sub divide into four categories.
Garden gates – This is gates under 4 ft tall (1200) and no wider that 4ft
Side gates – Gates over 4ft tall and up to 4ft wide
Driveway gates

Railings
Railings sub divides based on height, this allows for very targeted examples of designs.
