When designing or choosing a metal grill for a home compound, the specifications typically include the following factors:

• Wrought Iron: Known for its strength and durability, wrought iron is a common choice for grills. It’s resistant to rust when properly coated.
• Stainless Steel: Resistant to rust and corrosion, making it low maintenance. Often used for modern designs.
• Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant but less durable than iron or steel.
• Mild Steel: Often used due to its affordability and strength, though it needs to be painted or galvanized to prevent rusting.

• Bar Thickness: Commonly between 12mm to 20mm for vertical bars, while horizontal or diagonal elements can range between 8mm to 16mm.
• Gap Between Bars: Typically, the gap between vertical bars ranges between 100mm to 150mm for security while allowing visibility.
• Grill Height: Depending on its application (fence, gate, window), grill height can range from 1.5m to 3m or more.
• Overall Width: For gates, the width will depend on your entrance size, usually 1.2m to 4m for smaller gates, and larger for sliding or dual swing gates.

• Galvanization: Essential to protect the grill from rusting, especially if it’s made from mild steel.
• Powder Coating: Provides a smooth and durable finish, available in a variety of colors. It also adds an additional layer of protection against rust.
• Paint: For wrought iron or mild steel, paint serves as a protective layer and adds aesthetic appeal. Oil-based or epoxy paints are often used.
