Despite its advantages, wrought iron fencing is not without its drawbacks. They are often more expensive compared to other building materials such as wood or vinyl and require constant maintenance to prevent rust and corrosion. They are also heavy and may require specialized installation techniques.
However, with good maintenance, these constructions can last for hundreds of years.
They are excellent as protection barriers against vandalism, and on the other hand, since iron is a versatile material, iron fences, iron railings, wrought staircases and others can be produced.
