Yet again, I've found more wrought iron. Except this time it's actually cast iron...
I don't know how many folks have gone to the UK or other places where many row-type houses and other old structures have these fantastic heavy solid iron fences. I do mean solid! Usually in the US you find most vendors installing "iron" fences that are made of easily assembled and quickly installed thin steel tubing that has a minimum of ornament. It generally winds up looking pretty monotonous and cookie-cutter, though for those of us on a budget it'll do just fine.
On the other hand, If you had some cash to spare, I'd recommend Kingmetals.com. These folks have some beautiful Gothic cast iron fence materials as well as other items that would be absolutely perfect for a castle. I was genuinely surprised to see what they had. The featured picture is of 30" high fence segment that is around 6" long, it costs just over $12, so the fence would cost arond $25/ft, not including posts. The have other forged and cast items that could also be useful to the castle builder, but the fencing seems to be the most pertinent.
