The fence of the household plot should be reliable, durable, vandalous, and even beautiful. There are few materials that satisfy all these requirements. One of them is a metal. Metal fences, perhaps the most common, and the most beautiful of them are forged fences and gates. And certainly they are reliable, and durable.
Worn or welded
Welded and forged fences and gates make from one material, but use different technologies. And in that, and in another case, metal elasticity is used. But it is used in different ways, in different conditions and processes. In the process of forging, a metal blank (for fences are usually used) heated, bringing to a certain temperature, with the help of pressing they give it the desired form. The variety of forms is large: the heated metal becomes several times plastic, which allows you to shoot openwork and twisted elements from it.
By typing a certain amount of forged blanks, they are combined into sections that are then mounted on the support pillars. Due to the fact that the work is carried out with a softened metal, it is possible to combine the elements of the fence into a single whole without seams. Due to this, the forged fence looks very neat.
Classical forging is a long and expensive process, but the fence is unique
When creating welded fences, the elasticity of metal is also used, but in cold condition. From the rods also make twisted and curved elements - the process is called "cold forging". To obtain different elements of the weld elements there are special devices that allow without heating to change the shape of the blanks. But, in cold condition, the plasticity of the metal is less, less and possible variations.
When creating welded fences, elements are combined due to welding. This causes the presence of welds. Here in this - in a lesser artistic value and in the presence of seams - and there is the main difference between welded and forged fences. Otherwise (in functionality, durability) they are the same. What else is the difference? In the price and time of manufacture. Forged fences and gates require much more time to manufacture and cost more, as the process requires special skills and high qualifications. Welded make faster and easier, respectively, the price is less.
Covano-welded fences are not so expensive, and look interesting
There is still an intermediate view - wrought-welded fences. In them, elements are made by forging, and in the section they are assembled and bonded with each other by welding. Such fences look no less presented than forged, but cost cheaper, as the manufacturing process is less laborious.

Types of forged fence
It will be about that in combination with what materials there are forged fences and gates. After all, it is no secret that the metal lace is too transparent and serves only a physical obstacle, and even if the sections of a solid height. To close the courtyard from the views, it is necessary to place an opaque material for wrinkling. About what to combine a forged fence and will be discussed.

Forens for forged and welded fences
Forged or welded sections of a metal fence can be mounted on metal or brick (stone) pillars. These are two types of supports that are used in most cases. If you are going to make a combination type fence (an opaque material is installed for the fork section), the best option is with brick columns. The sailing of the combined fence is high, and such a base will be reliable and will withstand any wind.
Something similar can be done with the method of cold forging
Looking at this, you know what's the difference
Monumental ...
So many different elements ...
Plant motifs are very popular. Their cold forging will not do

Immediately and decorative elements Simple grid turn into a decorative thing
One of the simple options
The pillars themselves - the work of art
For the front entrance
Wrought iron elements closer
There is another common option - a stone foundation in which metal poles are mounted. This option for the fence can be considered optimal: it is not as heavy as with stone pillars, but at the same time, reliable.
With metal or straw
It is often possible to meet a combination of an adhesive section of the fence, which is installed with a metal painted sheet. Alternatively, roofing professional security can be used. It has a factory painting, which is designed to oppose weather conditions. In this case, the forged elements paint in black, and the color of the metal behind it is chosen under the color of the roof of the house or cottage.
Not necessarily make a grid

But the professionalist has a shaped relief that not everyone likes in combination with forging. In this case, metal sheet is used. But it must be carefully treated with anti-corrosion compositions, covered with primer and only after that paint. In this case, the appearance of the metal will continue for a long time. This option is good because you can pick up any color you like: bronze, silver, some unusual shade.

The combination of adhesive fence with a metal sheet gives a very reliable fence. The strength of the metal sheet is enhanced by a grid of wrought-iron rods. In addition, it turns out organically and beautiful. Openwork forging bakes on a colored background looks bright and impressive.
With polycarbonate
Often forged fence and gates are complemented by polycarbonate. This material is not only cellular, but also sheet. Sheet is more durable and able to withstand even the punch with a stone, and some models are bulletproof and are used in banks. Although, behind the weave of the rod fence, special strength is not needed, such a material can be salvation from the vandals.

Another option
In the presence of taste and imagination, you can make interesting fences from a few details.
Bronze polycarbonate highly emphasizes drawing
Polycarbonate can be painted in different colors. Most often used matte white or with a light shade, and also popular brown and bronze. Even painted in the mass, they are translucent. For such a fence, movement is guessed, and not consider details and parts.
The polycarbonate of any type is easy to cut, so it can be used to decorate only some parts of the fence, for example, you can make color inserts.
With wood
Wood itself and decorative, and strong enough to create fences. Wooden fences and gates are a numerous group, but in combination with forged elements, it turns out even more beautiful.
There are two options for wrought or welded fences with wood. The first is an adhesive metal frame with rarely located metal elements. Fill this frame tightly spaced boards. It is difficult to say which of the main materials. If you take in quantity - then wood, but a carcass is made from metal, which everything combines, although the metal part of the fence itself cannot be: too rare interlacing. Sometimes it is only a frame around the perimeter and patterns from above / below. Interesting, by the way, fences are obtained. Many are like fabulous - will be perfectly combined with a wooden house.

The second type is the section of a full-fledged fence, from the back side (from the courtyard) blocked by boards. In rare cases, the boards are inserted into the metal framework. The main difference is that the metal frame can be a fence and without boards, they are only an addition.
Schemes and sketches for welded and wrought-iron fences and fences
Own house makes acquaintance in various areas - even if you do not do everything yourself, control the work of hired workers is very desirable. Then the result is guaranteed to be at least no lower than the average. And style, design and other individual things, in general, you have to choose yourself, otherwise the designers will make what they seem fashionable or beautiful.
For inspiration, we collected a number of sketches and diagnostic fences schemes. Some of them are simpler, part is very individual. For the first, the performers are easy to find, but if you want to order a fence from those "more comprehensible", you will have to search. And it's better to see a couple of samples with your own eyes.
