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 StatesGot what I expected!
I ordered a cross that I saw online but initially received something else. After inquiring with Old West Iron they spent time looking up my order and quickly made it right. Impressed with their service and very happy to have received what I ordered.

OWI fabricated straps for my hitching rail. I attached the straps using 4" lag screws with heads that matched the strap rivets. They did spectacular work including bending the straps to fit the smaller sized rail. Love their work!!

United StatesA perfect match for an antique iron cart
The “rusty metal” acorn nuts look great on this antique, iron, factory cart, that has a new life as a coffee table in a brewery. I’ll definitely be placing more orders from Old West Iron.

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

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.
