Vertical Bar Railings Nottingham

Vertical bar railings is quite a catch all phrase for most metal fencing with the exception of solid metal fencing. All metal railed fences will require a number of vertical bars to form a fence or barrier but the more general understanding of vertical bar railings will be for domestic and non secure boundary markings. Palisade fencing is made up of many vertical bars but this will generally be referred to by its name and is very specific to industrial and security fencing requirements.

Most fencing companies will have the understanding that vertical bar railings will refer to a fence that is made up with many vertical rails which are secured by a few horizontal bars, often just two. The main different from one type of vertical bar railings system from another will mostly come down to how it is finished at the top. Again whilst bow fencing mainly consists of vertical bars it will mostly be referred to by name or less commonly as loop railings. Most vertical railings will be spear, flat or ball topped or simply a continuing straight vertical bar with no decorative topping. The decorative options are mostly used for domestic front gardens whilst flat top railings are more frequently used to define a boundary between public and private land. It is also widely used to act as a protective barrier between a public walkway and a potential hazard such as a busy road or a raised platform, where it also becomes a form of balcony. It can also be found up sloping walkways where is can be used as a helpful handrail if required.

As you can see below there are a few variations regarding the spacing of the bows and the railings between. Standard bow railing sections typically come in 1m, 1.2m and 1.5m height with accompanying gates. The larger ones,  quite often used for schools will be 2m, 2.1m and 2.4m above the ground and the width between posts will range from 2m to about 2.8 across The main colours for these are green, black, red, grey, blue and brown but we can pretty much accommodate any colour you would want.
