Wrought Iron
To restore the wrought iron and keep it safe from the elements, do the following when the metal is being exposed by peeling and cracking paint.

• de-scale surface by wire brushing and sanding smooth
• use a green rust remover solution, then wipe clean
• primer the surface, then paint (Tremclad - Deep Green rust paint)
• Spray silicone on and into the bolt hole to prevent rust there too (Spring and Fall)

Brick base facings
To stop these from pulling away from your wall, please do the following:

• Remove loose brick and clean off old construction adhesive from it, you can do this with a putty knife or any metal scraper
• Level the ground below the brick. You can do this by putting sand down, setting the brick into the sand, and using a level, you can add more sand as needed to have a level base for the stone
• Apply a bead of construction adhesive to the back of the brick, where it touches the brick wall
• Set brick in place on sand base and press it to the wall, making the adhesive stick
