Standard Vertical Bar railings are fabricated from square hollow section (SHS) posts and solid vertical infill bars along with flat bar horizontal rails. The tops of the infills can be blunt, domed or pointed. They are compliant with the current British Standard, which is covered in BS1722 part 9. Our range of Standard Vertical Bar railings make an ideal secure boundary fence at heights of up to 2 metres.
Interlaced bow top railing is an attractive alternative to standard bow top as it features a decorative interlocking pattern that is both aesthetically pleasing whilst adding further security and protection. Its lack of sharp edges makes it an ideal choice for use in public parks, traditionally as a boundary to planted areas or alongside foot paths.
The Hollinwell system was introduced to meet customer demand for even more decorative detailing with a smaller bow set inlayed within the standard bow. This effect provides a stunning point of differentiation from other forms of bow top, whilst maintaining effective perimeter security and high durability.

Report
Really disappointed with quality of the finished product.
Ordered Juliette balcony from Alpha Rail based on the reviews.
Received product to find a series of poorly finished welds that had not been ground down and therefore created massive powder coating blobs.
The galvanising process (i was told via email) creates impurities / imperfections that are then passed through the production process to powder coating.
Raised the complaint which was instantly responded to by the customer service lady (very polite) and helpful. It then took over a week for the production team to respond quoting various
