Wrought Iron Fence Maintenance & Care
Keep your wrought iron fence looking beautiful for decades with proper care
Annual Maintenance Checklist
- Inspect for rust — Check all joints, welds, and ground-level sections twice yearly in coastal areas
- Wash thoroughly — Use mild soap and water to remove salt, dirt, and debris
- Touch up paint chips — Address any exposed metal immediately to prevent rust
- Lubricate hinges — Apply silicone lubricant to gate hinges and latches
Coastal Protection Tips
Wilmington's salt air requires extra attention for wrought iron fencing:
- Galvanized base — Always choose hot-dip galvanized iron for coastal installations
- Marine-grade powder coat — Superior to paint for salt air resistance
- Apply automotive wax — After painting, wax adds an extra moisture barrier
- Repaint every 3-5 years — Full recoating extends life significantly

Wrought Iron Fencing FAQ
How much does wrought iron fencing cost per foot?
Wrought iron fencing typically costs $30-60 per linear foot installed in Wilmington NC. The price depends on design complexity, height, and finish. A standard 100-foot wrought iron fence averages $4,000-$6,000. Gates add $700-1,200 each.
How long does wrought iron fencing last?
Properly maintained wrought iron fencing can last 50-100+ years. The key is regular maintenance including inspection for rust, repainting every 3-5 years, and prompt repair of any chips in the protective coating.
Is wrought iron fencing good for coastal properties?
