Any wrought iron/steel fence experts here?
I need to have a 70 foot long, 8 feet tall "wrought iron" fence put up at a commercial property. With a 20 foot motorized sliding gate.
Like this:  The posts are 3x3 inch, the smaller rails are 2x3 and the pickets are 3/4 by 3/4 inch. All that seems good. I'm having trouble trying to figure out the thickness of the material, and what' normal. He said it's 16 gauge. Does that seem right? Too thin? I think there's also 14 gauge, which is a little thicker, but of course more expensive. What would be "normal" or reasonable for this? |

What are you attempting to keep at bay with the fence ? The motorized sliding gate will require more rigidity from the remainder of the fence.

It's just a standard parking lot.
