Iron Strapping / Metal Straps
Our iron strapping—also known as flat bar metal straps—is a versatile and durable solution for adding structural support and decorative detail to a wide variety of projects. Available by the foot in lengths up to 8 feet long and widths from 1" to 4", these heavy-duty flat bar straps are ideal for both functional reinforcement and old-world aesthetic appeal.
Choose from a range of handcrafted textures including:
Smooth iron for a clean, refined look
Hammered iron for traditional blacksmith texture
Distressed iron for a timeworn, antique feel
Riveted straps with welded decorative clavos for added character
Our iron metal straps are not only built to last—it’s also designed to inspire. Common uses include:
Wrapping exposed timber beams for a rustic architectural finish
Adding strength and style to barn doors, cabinets, and furniture
Framing windows or shutters with a forged iron edge
Creating unique baseboard or wall trim for industrial or farmhouse interiors
Wrapping tabletops or countertops for a custom metal edge
Crafting custom mantel brackets or gate borders
For even more character, you can customize your straps with hand-applied patinas and welded clavos to achieve a truly one-of-a-kind rustic or vintage look. Available in multiple thicknesses, and fully made to order, our strapping offers the strength of forged steel with the charm of handcrafted detail.

United StatesThese are gorgeous, client absolutely loved them on her custom window shutters. Quality was even more apparent, the threaded stock used for the bolt is not cheap all thread. Ended up building a jig to cut them with an abrasive wheel on a chop saw. If you have more than a couple you aren't going to want to use a hacksaw or multitool, that is a good thing.

United StatesRestoring 60 year old front porch and carport metal supports
Amazing that all of your items are hand made. Our country was formed on hand made products. Now it's a dying trade that no one cares about. Good to know that companies like Old West Iron still take pride in making there items from hand. My hats off to this company for making outstanding products for us to buy from. Oh, and my lag screws will look awesome when I finish. Thank You, Tim

United States1/2 hammered nails
I like your products because of the natural look of old iron. I use these nails on some of my projects for myself and other friends to enhance a old/ antique look on furniture...mirrors... beds. Etc it also gives my newer projects a rustic look. The quality...customer service has been very good and I will be calling again thanks.

United StatesHigh Quality Unique Finishing Products
As someone who likes to remodel and build without contractor help, these products set my projects above the rest. People come over to my house and ask who did the work. I tell them I did but with the help of real black smiths out west.

Hey there, I am so glad we spoke on the phone and had the chance to explain our process and how everything is hand made. As a small family owned business, we make everything to order vs big corporations that have warehouses ready to go. We appreciate you for understanding and thank you for supporting a small American Business

United StatesBeautiful straps
I built a hickory door for our new cabin in Lake Tahoe, the distressed straps were the key element to make it outstanding. Also the bolts were perfect. Now I want to order a speakeasy to complete the project. Thank you. Jerry
