How Iron Fences Are Cut, Shaped and Welded at Our Workshop

t306-9

An iron fence is made by measuring the site, preparing a drawing, cutting profiles to length, shaping and welding them in the workshop, then finishing and installing the panels on site. Each step is checked so the fence fits the opening and the client approves the design before production begins.

Starting With a Site Measurement

Every iron fence begins on site, not in the workshop. Our team measures the opening, the ground level, the slope and the position of posts or walls. Photos help, but they never replace measuring, because a few millimeters of error can make a panel impossible to install.

We also note the fixing points, the gate swing and any obstacles such as pipes or steps. These details decide how the fence is built, so they are recorded before anything is cut.

Drawing and Written Specification

After measuring, we prepare a drawing that shows the layout, the panel sizes, the pattern and the fixing method. A written specification lists the profile sizes, the material and the finish, so the client and any engineer or architect can review the same information.

The client approves the drawing before production starts. Changes at this stage cost little; changes after welding are much harder.

Cutting and Shaping the Profiles

Once approved, the steel and aluminum profiles are cut to length using saws set to the drawing. Accurate cutting matters because every frame relies on square corners and equal lengths. We check each cut against the drawing before it moves on.

Bars that need curves or decorative shapes are bent or formed at this stage. Careful shaping keeps the lines clean and prevents stress points that could weaken the finished fence.

Assembling and Welding in the Workshop

The frames are assembled on a flat jig so that corners stay square and dimensions stay true. Vertical bars are positioned, tacked in place and then fully welded. Welds are ground smooth where they will be seen, and the joints are inspected for solid penetration.

Working in the factory rather than on site gives us control over temperature, alignment and the quality of each joint, which is the main reason our panels fit well when they arrive at the building.

Finishing: Galvanizing and Powder Coating

Steel fences are protected against rust before painting. Hot-dip galvanizing coats the steel in zinc, and powder coating adds the colour and a durable outer layer. Aluminum parts are finished in a suitable coating for their use.

Finishing is done after welding and grinding so that the protective layer covers the whole panel. We confirm the colour with the client before the work is finished.

Installation on Site

Installation follows the drawing and the measured fixing points. Posts are set level and plumb, panels are fitted and secured, and gates are hung and adjusted so they swing freely. Where the fence is a balcony or railing, height and spacing must also suit the Israeli railing standard SI 1142, and we confirm exact values with the engineer.

After installation we check alignment, fixings and gate operation with the client before handover.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the fabrication process take?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the fence and on how quickly the drawing is approved. We confirm the schedule with you once the specification is agreed.

Do you measure on site before making the fence?

Yes. We measure the opening, ground level and fixing points on site, because accurate measurements are the basis for a fence that fits properly.

Can I change the design after approving the drawing?

Changes are possible before production starts. Once cutting and welding have begun, changes are more difficult and may affect cost and timing, so we review everything carefully at the drawing stage.

How is iron protected from rust?

Steel parts are hot-dip galvanized and then powder coated, which gives a durable protective layer. Aluminum parts receive a suitable finish for their use.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering a fence from photos alone without on-site measurement is the most common error. Skipping the approved drawing and specification can also lead to mismatched panels and costly changes.

Our recommendation

Before approving the drawing, check the height, gate swing and fixing points against the actual site, and ask for the finish and profile sizes to be written in the specification. For balconies and railings, confirm the requirements with your engineer.

Summary

Our iron and aluminum fences are measured on site, drawn and specified, cut and welded in the workshop, finished for protection, and then installed carefully on site.
