Ornamental metal railings have long been a symbol of elegance and security, gracing properties from private homes to prestigious commercial developments. At Jacksons Fencing, we bring together traditional style with modern engineering to offer a distinctive range of ornamental railings that balance aesthetic appeal with practical function and sustainability. Manufactured in Britain and engineered to the highest standards, our ornamental railing styles are available to calculate and order online, making it easy to add a touch of sophistication and safety to your space.
What Makes Jacksons Ornamental Railings Unique?
Before diving into the specific styles, it’s worth highlighting the features that all Jacksons ornamental railings have in common. Each product is constructed with welded pale-through-rail engineering; this ensures superior strength without any visible bolts or fixings, giving a seamless finish. Our railings are constructed from high quality tubular steel; this makes them significantly lighter than traditional wrought iron, yet just as robust. The result is metal railings that are easier to transport, install, and maintain.
Finished with a premium architectural grade polyester powder coating, our ornamental railings are available to order online in classic black or green – the most popular choices for a timeless, elegant look. With a 25 year Service Life Guarantee and easy installation using concealed panel-to-post connectors, our metal ornamental railings offer peace of mind and longevity with minimal effort. Whether you want them base-plated, dug into the ground, or wall-mounted with cranked posts, the flexibility is there. Currently, only dug-in posts can be ordered online.
All our ornamental railing styles come with spearhead finials as standard (style N); however, customers can choose from a range of decorative finial options to suit their specific style preferences. Posts can also be finished with ball-top finials or simple flat tops to further customise the look. With Jacksons, you're investing in a solution that enhances your property for decades to come.
Standard Style: Understated Elegance with a Classic Finish
Our Standard Style ornamental railings are a favourite for those seeking a traditional aesthetic with a clean silhouette. This style features a row of decorative rings positioned just below the middle rail; above the top rail, each full-height pale is topped with a finial, providing a sharp and refined look. The balance of open space and ornamentation gives this style a timeless quality, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications.
The Standard Style is particularly suited to heritage properties or formal gardens, where its classic lines can complement existing architecture without overwhelming it. It offers visual interest while retaining a sense of openness; the single row of rings provides just enough detail to catch the eye, while the top finials add vertical emphasis without compromising visibility or light. Available in a range of heights, the Standard Style provides both aesthetic value and a practical fencing solution for many types of properties.
Style A: Enhanced Security with Refined Detailing
For customers who prioritise security without compromising on visual appeal, Style A is the most secure option in our ornamental railing range. This design removes the decorative rings entirely but compensates with two rows of finials. Above the top rail, each full-height pale is topped with a finial and additionally, between each full-height pale, a shorter pale is installed and finished with a finial.
The effect is striking; the closely spaced finials not only provide a more assertive visual boundary but also significantly reduce opportunities for climbing. The additional vertical elements discourage use of the middle rail as a foothold, making Style A a popular choice for public buildings and residential properties where security is paramount.
This railing style projects confidence and control, without appearing institutional. With its precise detailing, Style A serves both decorative and deterrent purposes; it's a great choice for areas requiring both aesthetics and elevated security.
Style B: Maximum Ornamentation for a Decorative Impact
If visual appeal is your priority, then Style B delivers the most decorative solution in the range. Featuring two rows of rings – one below the middle rail and one above it – this style adds rich detail and layered design to any boundary. Each pale is also topped with a finial, ensuring a cohesive and luxurious finish from top to bottom.
Style B is ideal for prestigious properties, formal entrances, and decorative perimeters where first impressions matter. The two rows of rings provide elegance and continuity, creating a railing solution that functions almost like an architectural feature in its own right. Style B embodies sophistication and is often chosen for hospitality venues, high-end residential developments, or landscaped gardens that demand a statement piece.
This railing offers the least deterrence to climbing compared to Style A, but for applications where security concerns are secondary to aesthetics, it’s the most visually rewarding choice. Taller heights are also available for increased protection.
Customisation and Applications
All three styles are available to calculate and order online, offering flexibility for landscape architects, contractors, and homeowners alike. Heights can be chosen based on application – lower options work well for decorative borders or front garden fencing while higher options are more appropriate for secure boundaries or public spaces. While only dug-in posts are currently available to order online, we also manufacture cranked or base-plated posts for wall mounting or surface installation; speak to our team for bespoke configurations.
The choice of finials allows further personalisation. While spearhead finials (style N) are the default, we offer a range of other finial styles to match different architectural themes – from ornate Fleur de Lys designs to contemporary silhouettes. Likewise, post tops can be finished with a ball top finial for increased decoration, or kept flat for a more modern aesthetic.
Our ornamental railings have a wide range of applications, including school perimeters, civic buildings, commercial properties, private homes, gated communities, and parks. Whether you're looking to create an elegant garden enclosure, a formal entrance, or a secure property boundary, Jacksons ornamental railings offer a flexible and beautiful solution.
A Modern Alternative to Wrought Iron
Traditional wrought iron railings have long been admired for their beauty, but they often come with significant maintenance requirements. Our tubular steel construction offers a modern alternative; it mimics the visual weight and detail of wrought iron without the associated costs or upkeep. Lighter in weight yet just as strong, our railings are easier to install, transport, and maintain, making them ideal for both new developments and retrofitting to existing walls or boundaries.
Combined with our premium powder coating and 25 year Service Life Guarantee, you can trust that Jacksons ornamental railings will look good and perform well for decades.
