What is the average cost of wrought iron?

The cost of wrought iron can vary significantly based on several factors, making it difficult to provide a single "average" cost. However, I can give you a general idea of the price range and factors that influence the cost:

Factors affecting wrought iron cost:

1. Quality of the iron
2. Complexity of the design
3. Size and quantity of the product
4. Finish (paint, powder coating, etc.)
5. Labor costs in your area

6. Supplier or manufacturer

General price ranges (please note these are approximate and can vary):

1. Raw wrought iron:

   - Approximately $2 to $5 per pound for basic stock

2. Wrought iron products:

   - Simple ornamental items: $20 to $100
   - Gates: $200 to $600 per linear foot
   - Fencing: $100 to $300 per linear foot
   - Railings: $70 to $200 per linear foot
   - Custom furniture: $500 to $5000+, depending on size and complexity

3. Installation costs:

   - Can add 20% to 50% to the cost of the product

It's important to note that true wrought iron is rarely produced today, and many "wrought iron" products are actually made from mild steel worked to resemble traditional wrought iron. This can affect pricing as well.

For accurate pricing, it's best to get quotes from local wrought iron suppliers or craftsmen, as prices can vary significantly based on your location and specific requirements. Additionally, prices may have changed since this information was last updated, so it's always good to check current market rates.
