They are ideal for front gardens, driveways, and areas where a solid fence may feel too enclosed. Unlike timber, metal railings do not warp or rot, making them a low-maintenance and long-lasting option. If you want a boundary that complements landscaping without blocking views, railings are a strong choice.
