Types of Iron Garden Structures and Their Uses

When a homeowner's yard is barren, they often find themselves wondering how they can spruce it up, personalize it, and make it a suitable area for relaxation or entertaining guests. Wrought-iron garden structures are simple and inexpensive additions to any yard, and they can truly last for a lifetime. This is an in-depth look at the different types of iron garden structures and how to use them!

Topiaries and Trellises

Topiaries and trellises are a great addition to any yard or garden. These iron structures are perfect for climbing vines, or just accentuating any yard or garden with various animal shapes, stars, or plant shapes. Not only do these structures make any home landscaping look fantastic, but they also help achieve that personal touch. Some homeowners use these types of yard ornaments on their patios, as well as in their homes as well.

Gazebos and Arbors

Arbors are extremely useful for adding an inviting piece to the garden or yard. Likewise, a gazebo makes for a great spot for relaxation or hang-outs. The gazebo can also be used to showcase a particular part of the garden or a handful of plants that a homeowner is proud of. What's best is that these garden structures make the perfect standing hosts for climbing vines and plants. Once the structures have been covered with vines and plants, it's easy to even add a bit of lighting around it to create a relaxing ambiance at night. This type of decoration makes it a great location for a late afternoon barbecue or cookout.

Metal Screens

Metal screens are popular not only in the garden, but also inside the home and on patios for decoration. Metal screens are useful for defining specific areas in the garden or home, or separating large spaces where there is too much open emptiness. 

Iron garden structures can bring completion to any yard. Make sure to place a few around your own for to spruce up the garden or enhance the look and feel of the landscaping!
