Ornamental Iron Fencing in Texoma
Ornamental iron is the fence you install where you want the fence to be seen: front yards, corner lots, pool surrounds, and property entrances. In the Texoma corridor it pairs naturally with the brick-and-stone homes going up across Sherman and Anna, and it’s the standard answer where an HOA prohibits solid fencing on street-facing lines but you still want a defined, secure yard.
What’s typically included
- Powder-coated steel panels (the modern version of wrought iron — the look without the constant repainting)
- Posts set in concrete footings sized for North Texas clay
- Panels racked to follow grade so there are no stair-step gaps beneath the fence
- Gates with self-closing hardware where the fence serves a pool area
Styles and options
- Flat-top and pressed-point — the clean standard picket looks.
- Spear-top with finials — the traditional estate profile.
- Puppy pickets — tighter bottom spacing that keeps small dogs in without changing the look above.
- Pool-code configurations — Texas pool barrier requirements (height, picket spacing, self-closing/self-latching gates) built in where the fence encloses a pool.
- Custom entrances — arched gate sections and columns for driveways and walks.
Iron in the North Texas climate
Powder-coated steel handles this climate well — the failure points are scratches that reach bare metal and sprinkler water sitting on the bottom rail. We touch up any coating breaks at install, and recommend keeping sprinkler heads aimed off the fence line. Expect years of maintenance-free service with an occasional rinse; a small can of matched touch-up paint (we leave you one) handles the rare chip.
What affects your price
Panel grade and height, style (standard pickets at the low end, finials and custom entrance work at the top), gate count, and grade changes along the line — racking panels on a slope takes more time than a flat run. Repairs to existing iron (rusted sections, bent pickets, gate hardware) are quoted separately and are usually far cheaper than owners expect.
Permits and HOA rules
Iron is the most widely HOA-approved fence style for street-facing lines in newer Texoma subdivisions, but height and placement rules still vary by city — corner-lot sightline rules apply to iron just as they do to solid fencing. We confirm current requirements with your city before installation.
