It's literally a walled garden. Oh the irony.

I think you might've meant to say "how appropriate", or "how fitting". A situation is ironic is when the outcome is contrary to the expectation. (Eg: getting run over by an ambulance)

I think he's talking about the fact that the frame of the walls is made of steel. Then yes, that is somewhat ironic, depending on the exact alloy.

Isn't that actually the opposite of "ironic", then?

There are multiple kinds of irony; I keep forgetting this isn't something well known.
