Description

This drawing presents two variations of spear top metal railings, each set out as a full panel elevation between matching corner posts. Both designs are built around vertical bar infill finished with pointed spear heads along the top rail, giving a traditional, formal railing profile suited to front boundaries, driveway edges, and garden perimeters.

Design Details Shown in the Drawing

The sketch illustrates two distinct spear top metal railings layouts side by side, allowing a direct comparison of infill style and finial detail.

Upper Panel — Collared Bar Design

• Vertical bars topped with slim pointed spearheads spaced evenly along the top rail
• Decorative oval collars (knops) positioned mid-height on alternating bars
• Twisted, barley-twist style corner posts with turned urn finials
• Bottom rail set just above ground level, indicated by the dashed foundation line

Lower Panel — Arrow Head Design

• Closer-set vertical bars with a continuous run of small arrow/fleur-style spearheads
• No mid-bar collars, giving a cleaner, more uniform bar line from top to bottom rail
• Matching twisted corner posts finished with the same urn-topped finials

Specifications Illustrated

The drawing sets out the proportions and construction points needed to picture how these spear top metal railings would sit as a fixed panel run.

• Panel format with two fixing posts and a horizontal top and bottom rail
• Vertical bar infill with even spacing between uprights
• Twisted decorative post sections rising to turned finial caps
• Dashed lines below ground indicating post foundation depth

Why Choose This Railing Style

Both layouts of these spear top metal railings combine a classic sharpened top edge with ornamental post detailing, making them a fitting choice where a period or traditional character is wanted alongside a practical, defined boundary line. The choice between the collared bar version and the arrow head version allows the finished look to be matched to the surrounding property style, whether a more decorative or a more streamlined finish is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the two railing designs shown?

The upper design includes decorative oval collars part-way up each bar, while the lower design uses a denser run of small arrow-shaped spearheads without collars, giving a slightly more streamlined appearance.

Are the corner posts part of the railing panel?

Yes, the drawing shows matching twisted corner posts with urn-style finials at each end of the panel, forming the fixing points for the bar infill.

Can these spear top metal railings be used for security purposes?

The pointed spear tops and closely spaced vertical bars shown in both designs are typical of railings used for boundary definition and deterrent purposes along driveways, gardens, and property perimeters.
