Looking for wrought iron gates can be difficult, because most people who have them hang onto them. You can buy them new, but they don’t have the same look as the older ones. Many of the older gates had more style and charm in the eyes of a lot of people. If that’s what you’re looking for, there are several places where you might be able to find them. First, try salvage and scrap yards where people sell metal. The gates may have been taken there if someone wanted to dispose of them and thought that they could make a few dollars in the process. If that doesn’t produce anything, you can also try thrift stores, ‘junk shops,’ and antique stores. You’ll probably have to pay a lot more for your gates if you find them in the antique store, but if price isn’t a consideration it can be a great place to look for salvage wrought iron gates.

Yard sales, estate sales, and the Internet can also produce these kinds of gates if you’re willing to be patient about it. Not everyone can find what they’re looking for right away, but over time these kinds of salvage wrought iron gates come up for auction or appear because someone needs to sell them. Occasionally, people even give them away, but you’ll have to be quick to get something like that. They won’t last long if they’re free or very cheap, since people who really like these kinds of gates tend to look for them often and pick them up quickly. Placing an ad saying that you’re looking for these kinds of gates can be good, too, but use an anonymous email address so you don’t get spammed by people offering all sorts of things you aren’t looking for.
