Get Your Free EstimateOrnamental iron fencing from Valley Fencing Co. involves the installation of pre-fabricated or custom-designed metal panels and posts, creating a robust and visually appealing barrier. This service includes precise site preparation, post hole excavation, secure post setting with concrete, panel attachment, and a final inspection to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic alignment. We focus on proper grade transitions and secure gate integration, which means your fence will function flawlessly and look exceptional.
Our approach begins with a detailed site assessment to understand your property's specific contours, soil conditions, and any existing landscaping. We then discuss design options, considering panel styles, finials, gates, and color finishes to match your architectural preferences. Once the design is finalized, we handle all necessary utility locates and permits before initiating the physical installation, ensuring compliance with all local Lincoln ordinances.
For Lincoln properties, ornamental iron fencing is a strategic investment. The material's inherent strength makes it highly resistant to the freeze-thaw cycles common in Nebraska winters, preventing cracking or warping seen in less durable materials. Its open design allows for excellent visibility while still defining boundaries, which is often preferred in historic districts or areas where maintaining sightlines is important. Proper installation also means it can stand up to the strong winds that occasionally sweep through the plains.
Homeowners often inquire about corrosion resistance and maintenance. Our ornamental iron fences are typically pre-treated with a powder-coated finish, offering superior protection against rust and chipping compared to traditional paint. This finish means your fence will retain its appearance for many years with only occasional cleaning. We also address concerns about gate security, integrating high-quality hinges and latches for reliable access control.
Ornamental iron fencing offers exceptional longevity and minimal upkeep, making it a smart choice for Lincoln homeowners. Unlike wood, iron does not rot, warp, or require regular staining, which means it stands up well to Nebraska's humid summers and harsh, snowy winters without significant degradation. The factory-applied powder coating on quality iron fences creates a durable barrier against moisture and UV radiation, preventing rust and fading.
In Lincoln's varied soil types, from loamy topsoil to heavier clay, proper post setting is crucial for fence stability. Ornamental iron posts, when set correctly with adequate concrete footings, resist shifting due to ground movement or frost heave. This structural integrity means your fence remains plumb and secure for decades, avoiding the leaning or sagging issues that can plague other fence types over time.
Beyond durability, ornamental iron adds significant curb appeal and property value. Its classic lines and robust construction convey a sense of permanence and elegance. For properties near busy streets or in areas with specific aesthetic guidelines, an iron fence provides a distinguished boundary that enhances the overall neighborhood character without obstructing views.
We conduct an on-site evaluation of your Lincoln property, measuring the perimeter, noting grade changes, and discussing your preferred iron styles, heights, and gate placements.
Before digging, we contact NE1CALL to mark underground utilities and assist with securing any necessary permits from the City of Lincoln Planning Department, ensuring compliance.
Posts are set in concrete to the correct depth and alignment, typically 24-36 inches depending on soil conditions. Once posts are cured, pre-fabricated or custom panels are securely attached using appropriate brackets and hardware.
Gates are precisely hung with heavy-duty hinges and fitted with chosen latching mechanisms. We then perform a thorough walk-through to confirm structural integrity, alignment, and your complete satisfaction with the finished fence.
