Wrought Iron & Ornamental Iron in Gig Harbor, WA
Custom railings, gates, and ironwork built for Gig Harbor's waterfront homes and hillside properties.
Bare Ornamental Iron LLC brings certified welding craftsmanship to Gig Harbor, from the Maritime waterfront to the hills above Wollochet Bay.
Ornamental Iron Company Serving Gig Harbor Homeowners
Gig Harbor blends small-town maritime charm with some of the finest waterfront real estate in Pierce County. From the boat-filled harbor near Skansie Brothers Park to the quiet cul-de-sacs off Point Fosdick, homeowners here want ironwork that matches the character of their neighborhood, not a generic fence dropped off a truck.
As an ornamental iron company working throughout the South Sound, we've fabricated stair railings for homes overlooking the harbor and custom iron gates for properties tucked into the wooded lots along Rosedale Street. Every project is measured, welded, and finished specifically for the site, whether it sits three blocks from downtown or up near Canterwood.
Our shop on S Washington St in Tacoma is a short drive across the Narrows Bridge, which means fast turnaround for consultations, templating, and installation without the markup that comes from hiring an out-of-area fabricator.

Ironwork Built for Gig Harbor's Waterfront Climate
Gig Harbor's marine environment is beautiful, but it's tough on unprotected metal. Salt air off the harbor, near-constant moisture, and long wet winters mean iron railings and gates need proper coatings and finishes from day one, not as an afterthought.
Many homes here sit on sloped lots overlooking the water, which calls for exterior iron railings on decks, stairways, and retaining walls that hold up to both weather and gravity. We also see a lot of craftsman, Northwest contemporary, and shingle-style architecture around neighborhoods like Canterwood and the Peninsula, styles that pair well with clean wrought iron gates and understated custom iron decor rather than heavy ornamentation.
For properties closer to downtown and the Maritime Pier, security gates and window security bars are a common request, especially for second homes and rental properties that sit empty part of the year. We fabricate every piece to handle the coastal humidity while still looking like it belongs on a Gig Harbor home, not a warehouse.

Common Questions
Gig Harbor Ironwork Questions, Answered
01 Do I need a permit for a new fence or gate in Gig Harbor?
Fence height, setback, and location requirements vary by whether your property is inside city limits or unincorporated Pierce County. We help confirm what applies to your lot and handle documentation needs as part of the custom ironwork quote process.
02 How long does a custom iron gate installation take?
Most residential iron gates take two to four weeks from final measurements to installation, depending on design complexity and current shop schedule. Waterfront or hillside access can add time for site prep, which we'll flag during your estimate.
03 Can you match ironwork to an existing railing or gate style?
Yes. Our certified welders regularly replicate or complement existing wrought iron railings, gates, and fencing so additions or repairs blend with what's already on the property.
04 What finish holds up best against Gig Harbor's salt air?
We typically recommend powder-coated or hot-dip galvanized finishes for properties near the harbor or Wollochet Bay, since they resist the corrosion that plain painted iron can develop in a marine climate.
