The Ornamental Steel Fence & Railing Series from The Fence Depot combines the timeless elegance of wrought iron with the durability of modern hot-dip galvanized steel and architectural powder coating. The series includes five products: a European-scroll wrought iron style stair railing, spear-top picket fence panels, flat-top picket panels, crank-top (bent-top) security panels, and corner panels — covering residential front yards, commercial perimeters, staircases, and high-security applications across Southern California.
All fence and railing components are fabricated from structural steel tubing per ASTM A500 Grade B, hot-dip galvanized after fabrication per ASTM A123 (2.0 oz/ft² minimum zinc), then finished with AkzoNobel Interpon D polyester powder coating meeting AAMA 2604. This duplex galvanize-plus-powder system provides 20+ years of corrosion protection — unlike bare wrought iron that rusts within years or pre-galvanized tubing with zinc only 0.6 oz/ft².
Panels feature welded construction (not mechanical joints), 3/4" square pickets at 3-7/8" O.C. spacing (pool-code compliant), and 2" or 2.5" square posts with flat or pyramid caps. Standard heights range from 36" to 72"; panel widths 72" (6 ft) and 94" (~8 ft). The stair railing is custom-fabricated to match stair rise and run, with handrail height 34"–38" per IRC 2024 and ADA-compliant grip profiles available. All products meet ASTM F1184 and ICC-ES requirements.
