When you want to combine lasting security with timeless elegance, decorative ornamental iron fencing is a standout choice. Known for its strength, beauty, and versatility, ornamental iron works just as well for charming front yards as it does for upscale commercial properties.

At Pacific Fence & Wire Co., we’ve spent more than a century helping Portland-area homeowners and businesses choose the right fencing solution—and install it with care. We bring over 100 years of craftsmanship and customer-first service to every project, and that includes our expert work with ornamental iron and other metal fencing systems.

Whether you’re enclosing a garden or securing a large commercial space, our team delivers exceptional results built to withstand the test of time—and Portland’s four-season weather.

Built for Strength and Style

Ornamental iron fencing isn’t just about looks—though the curb appeal is hard to beat. These fences are also incredibly strong, offering a reliable barrier without feeling too bulky. The open design of iron fences allows for visibility while still sending a clear message: your property is protected.

Unlike wood or vinyl, metal fencing resists warping and cracking. And when finished with a powder coated layer, it’s made to endure rain, sun, and snow with minimal upkeep. From modern designs with clean lines to more classic, scroll-accented styles, ornamental iron fits nearly any setting. It’s a smart investment for those who want security without compromising on aesthetics.

Expert Installation from Start to Finish

At Pacific Fence & Wire, we don’t just install fences—we help you make the right decision for your space, budget, and long-term needs. Every ornamental iron project starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss the style you’re looking for, the layout of your property, and how the fencing will function—whether it’s decorative, protective, or both.

Once a design is chosen, we plan every detail of the install. That includes measurements, layout, gates, and any required access control features. Our experienced crews ensure precise placement and secure anchoring, so the final product looks great and lasts for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured—and we treat every property with the same care we’d give our own.

Powder-Coated Protection You Can Count On

One of the biggest benefits of ornamental iron fencing today is the powder-coated finish. This advanced coating adds a layer of weather-resistant protection that prevents rust, corrosion, and fading. It also gives the fence a sleek, even color that stays vibrant for years.

Whether you opt for a bold black finish or a custom color to match your property, powder-coated iron looks sharp and requires little maintenance. It’s especially useful in the Pacific Northwest, where moisture can be a challenge for untreated metal. At Pacific Fence & Wire, we work with only the most durable materials to ensure long-term performance.

Decorative Ornamental Iron Fencing FAQs

Is decorative ornamental iron fencing the same as wrought iron fencing?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, modern decorative ornamental iron fences are typically made from galvanized steel or aluminum and then powder coated for durability—making them more affordable and lower maintenance than traditional wrought iron.

How long does ornamental iron fencing last?

With professional installation and a powder-coated finish, ornamental iron fences can last several decades with minimal upkeep, even in Portland’s rainy climate.

Does ornamental iron fencing require a lot of maintenance?

Not at all. Thanks to powder coating, this type of metal fencing resists rust and corrosion, requiring only occasional cleaning to keep it looking great.

Is ornamental iron a good option for commercial properties?

Yes. Ornamental iron is a popular choice for schools, office parks, apartment complexes, and more due to its high-end look, strength, and adaptability for gates and security features.
