What Defines a Metallic Structure?
A metallic structure refers to any architectural or structural element made primarily from iron, steel, or aluminum. These can be decorative, load-bearing, functional, or all of the above. Common examples include pergolas, trellises, gazebos, shade systems, storefront structures, canopies, custom supports, and metal framework for architectural features like gates, walkways, or rail-supported platforms.
At Inca Wrought Iron, we take a comprehensive approach to metallic structures—combining aesthetics, engineering, and build quality. Every project is custom designed and fabricated locally to reflect the architectural character of Charleston while meeting modern performance standards.
