We installed a 6-foot black spear-top ornamental iron fence and a matching 10-foot-wide double swing gate at a residential property in Tacoma, WA. The fence runs beside the home, along the lawn, and alongside the gravel driveway, defining the enclosed area while keeping views of the yard open.

Ornamental Iron Fence Installation: Tacoma Project Details
We installed fixed fence panels and a double swing gate. The gate measures 10 feet wide overall, and both the fence and gate are 6 feet tall with matching spear-top detailing.
Understanding variations in local terrain is critical for fence installation in Tacoma. Proper alignment and secure fastening of gates and fence panels are vital for functional fencing.
Homeowners comparing ornamental iron with a chain link fence, wood, or vinyl can explore our ornamental iron fencing service. Beyond appearance, ask what care each option requires and how to maintain its finish. If low maintenance is a priority, confirm the recommended upkeep before choosing a material.
How the New Fence Defines the Lawn and Driveway
The completed ornamental fence defines the lawn beside the house and continues alongside the gravel driveway. Installation of ornamental iron fences should be adaptable to hilly terrains to avoid gaps. Our guide to planning a fence on uneven ground explains the difference between racked and stepped layouts.
The black finish contrasts with the light-colored siding, while the spear-top detailing gives the fence a consistent look. The open panels keep the planting visible, combining a defined yard boundary with the decorative details homeowners may seek when considering curb appeal.

Questions About Ornamental Iron Fences
How tall is the installed fence?
Both the ornamental iron fence and the double swing gate are 6 feet tall.
What does spear-top mean?
Spear-top describes the pointed decorative ends of the vertical pickets. On this fence, the points extend above the upper horizontal rail.
What size gate was included?
The project included one 10-foot-wide double swing gate with spear-top detailing. The stated width is for the complete gate, rather than each individual leaf.
Does this fence block the view of the yard?
No. The open spaces between the pickets allow views through the ornamental iron panels. The completed photographs show the lawn and planting visible behind the fence. For another open-panel option, see our hog wire fence project in Tacoma, which combines black wire mesh with cedar framing.
