Forging is a kind of manual metal processing, popular at all times. Forged items look at once solid, expensive and elegant, and they are often exclusive, as they are performed by the master in a single copy. Therefore, no host will refuse to fence his plot with such a beautiful forged fence.
Unlike all other types of fences, forged are distinguished by such obvious advantages:
- security;
- durability;
- reliability;
- the possibility of installing a hopeless design;
- variety of design;
- prestige.
In this article we will consider the most common types of forged fences today, because they differ in many respects due to modern technologies.
Protective fences
This type of fence refers to the most budgetary, since such a fence, strictly speaking, is not a classic forging. Forged parts for such a fence are fixed with each other by welding, or are mounted on special screw connections specially designed for this purpose. The very same metal fencing is most often an imitation of forging, made with the help of punching technology. It is thanks to this that the price of similar products is significantly reduced.
Protective fences are most often implemented by section. Each section is installed between two supports, depending on which such fences are often called forged wooden or brick fences. Also recently very often with forged elements use such material as polycarbonate. Panels from it perfectly set off the pattern of forging due to its translucent texture. And at the same time, beautiful forged fences with polycarbonate perfectly perform their protective function, protecting the yard of a private house from extraneous views.

Decorative forged fences
The direct opposite of the protective is a variety of forged fences, called decorative. These are always special projects, which are realized by the master-blacksmith under the exclusive project of the customer. There are usually a lot of complicated twisted elements. If the fence has large dimensions, then its parts are connected using special tabs and clamps, and only in case of emergency, by agreement with the customer, welding is used.
The high price of a decorative forged fence is largely determined by the skill of the manufacturer, as well as the level of complexity of the work itself, which takes a lot of work, time and effort.

Combined type of fences
Much more widely used is the combined type of manufacturing forged fences. It is somewhat simpler than the one described above, in large part due to the use of standard templates. This helps to reduce the timing of the order, which can not but affect the price of the finished product. In addition, the decorative elements for this kind of fences are joined together using clamps, rivets, soldering, welding, bending and twisting.

Make a homestead stylish and elegant simply - fence the territory of your yard with a forged fence, which you can choose for every taste and purse. By the way, forged can be not only the fence, but also the gates, wickets and various elements of the decor of the house.
It should be noted that the cost of this forging makes it unprofitable to manufacture small fences. Referring to the blacksmith only makes sense when you need to draw up a sufficiently large fence with large details. As for the installation, there are two options. The first is the use of fasteners, which fix pre-forged in the workshop elements. The second option is classic, when the smith himself fixes all details of the fence in place using a portable anvil and a forge.
