Description

Standard Bow Top Railings deliver a dependable and visually appealing perimeter solution for environments where both safety and longevity are key considerations. With their smooth, rounded arch design, they provide a softer aesthetic and eliminate sharp edges—making them ideal for public-facing areas and sites with frequent footfall.

Constructed from mild steel using a combination of S275JR solid and S235JR hollow sections, the railings are hot dip galvanised to EN ISO 1461 standards, with optional polyester powder-coating available in any RAL colour. Designed to indicate boundaries and deter unauthorised access, this robust fencing system performs reliably in all weather conditions and meets the requirements of BS 1722 Part 9. Supplied complete with panel-to-post fixings for ease of installation.
