Helping You Understand the Purpose and Functions of Different Fences

3 Reasons To Include Your Driveway When Installing A Wrought Iron Fence

19 October 2022 by Devon Ramos

Wrought iron fencing has stood the test of time as a classic look for nearly any home. Fencing in the front yard can create a division between the sidewalk and your home and provide an opportunity to have your pets or children to enjoy the yard.

However, if your driveway is in front of your home, it's common to exclude it to save money on wrought iron fencing. Instead of skipping the driveway when planning the design for your yard, explore the numerous benefits of fencing in your full yard—driveway included. 

Indicate the Property Line

Showing the perimeter of your yard is helpful for many reasons, including keeping neighbors from touching your landscaping to deterring pedestrians from stepping on your lawn. Fencing that surrounds your full yard can physically keep your yard private. 

Wrought iron fencing that includes the driveway means that your full yard will be separated from your neighbors and the street. You may find that the price is similar to skipping the driveway since you won't be fencing on both sides of the yard next to the driveway. 

Boost Curb Appeal with a Driveway Gate 

One expense included with your new wrought iron fence is a gate that allows your vehicle to enter the driveway. Automatic and manual gates can vary in price and both offer the same function of separating your yard from the street and making it easy for your car to pull up. 

Finding a wrought iron gate that fits in with the fencing and offers a unique appearance can ensure that the front of your home looks fantastic. Since the gate crosses the width of the driveway, you won't need to fence in this area and can focus on connecting the gate with the surrounding fence. 

Keep Your Children and Pets Safe

Improving the security of your front yard can be a big motivator for installing fencing. An open area without fencing for your driveway can make your yard less secure. If you have pets or children that you would like to enjoy the front yard with, fully fencing in your yard is essential. 

Including your driveway when installing a new fence can be an excellent way to improve your home's security. Since wrought iron fencing is a timeless choice, you can feel confident installing fencing that includes a gate and enjoy the finished project for decades to come.
