Ornamental Iron & Steel Fence Installation in Austin & Georgetown
Iron and Steel Fencing Built for Central Texas Properties
An ornamental iron fence gives you a secure boundary without closing off the view. It works around front yards, pools, sloped Hill Country lots, HOA common areas and commercial properties, and it pairs well with stone columns, wood and a matching gate.
Sagamore Fence & Deck installs ornamental iron and steel fencing across Austin, Georgetown and Central Texas from our base at 6550 FM 1105 in Georgetown. Most of our iron work uses quality standard panel systems that fit most budgets, and we turn to custom fabrication when a project calls for it. If you were considering aluminum, iron is often the more budget-friendly way to get the same look. Either way, we plan the layout, set the posts and hang the gates so the fence looks clean and stays straight.

Our Ornamental Iron & Steel Fence Services
Most properties are a good fit for a standard panel system. Some need something more. We help you pick the right approach for your yard, your budget and the look you want, then build it as part of our full fence installation service.
Standard iron panel systems
Quality pre-made ornamental steel panels give you a finished, consistent look at a price that fits most budgets. We help you choose the style, height and picket layout, then install the panels on properly set posts.
- Flat-top, three-rail and other common styles
- Matching walk gates and drive gates
- Posts set and aligned for a straight, even run
Custom fabrication
When a project calls for it, we fabricate custom iron and steel work: arched gates, unusual openings, special heights or details that a standard panel can’t match.
- Arched and decorative gates
- Custom sizes for odd openings and grades
- Specialty details designed with you
Iron fencing for slopes and rocky ground
Plenty of lots around Austin and Georgetown slope or sit on limestone. We lay out the fence to follow the grade, using rackable panels or stepped sections so the bottom line stays tight to the ground.
- Rackable panels that follow the slope
- Stepped layouts where they look better
- Post holes planned for rocky soil
Pool and safety fencing
Iron is a popular choice around pools because it’s strong and easy to see through. Pool barriers come with legal requirements, so we plan the height, spacing and gates around the rules that apply to your property.
- Open designs that keep the pool visible
- Self-closing, self-latching gate hardware
- Layouts planned around barrier requirements

Benefits of Choosing Iron or Steel Fencing
Iron and steel fencing is strong, low-maintenance and open, so it secures a property without hiding it.
Security without blocking the view
Upright pickets and a solid frame keep people and pets where they belong while your yard, pool or landscape stays in sight.
Low maintenance
There are no boards to replace or stain. An occasional rinse and a touch-up on any scratches keeps the finish looking sharp.
Handles slopes and rocky ground
Rackable panels and stepped layouts let an iron fence follow uneven Central Texas terrain.
Works with HOA and historic guidelines
Open fence designs are often what HOAs and historic districts look for, especially in front yards.
Pairs with stone, wood and gates
Iron sits well between limestone columns, on top of retaining walls and alongside wood fencing, with gates to match.

Ornamental Iron Fence FAQs
Do you install wrought iron fences?
Most fences people call wrought iron today are ornamental steel or iron panel systems, and that’s what we install most often. We use quality standard panel systems that fit most budgets, and we custom fabricate iron and steel work when a project calls for it.
How much does an ornamental iron fence cost?
It depends on the length of the fence, its height and style, the terrain and how many gates you need. Standard panel systems fit most budgets, while custom fabrication costs more. We give you a written estimate after looking at your property, and our instant quote tool can give you a ballpark first.
Can you install an iron fence on a slope?
Yes. On sloped lots we use rackable panels that follow the grade or step the panels down the hill, depending on the slope and the look you want. Both keep the bottom of the fence close to the ground.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for an iron fence?
Often, yes. Many cities require a fence permit and many HOAs require design approval. In Georgetown’s Old Town and Downtown historic districts, front-yard fences generally need to be no taller than 4 feet and at least 50% open, or they need a Certificate of Appropriateness. We check the requirements for your address, handle the permit when one is needed and prepare the documents your HOA asks for.
Can you build gates to match my iron fence?
Yes. We build walk gates and driveway gates to match, including arched and custom gates, and we can design an automatic gate system with access control.
Is an iron fence a good choice around a pool?
Iron is a popular pool fence material because it’s strong and easy to see through. Pool barriers have legal requirements for things like height, openings and self-closing, self-latching gates, so we plan the fence and gates around the rules that apply to your property.
