A beautiful set of expertly crafted iron gates not only gives a great first impression, but has many other advantages as well. If you are wondering whether to purchase a wooden, plastic or iron gate, read below to find out how iron gates are a better purchase.
- Iron is a tough metal and is much more durable than wood and plastics used for gates
- Iron gates can withstand harsh climatic conditions
- Unlike wooded gates, iron gates cannot be bored into by insects, which not only looks unsightly, but can lead to severe damage

- Iron gates can be molded or ‘casted’ to bespoke styles of your choice
