Traditional Metal Railings and Matching Gate for a Hersham Front Boundary
William Bradley Fencing installed Saxon metal railings and a matching pedestrian gate along the front boundary of a residential property in Hersham, Surrey. The new installation provides a clearly defined entrance while giving the front of the property a clean, traditional finish.
The spear-top detailing runs consistently across the railings and gate, creating a coordinated boundary that complements the style of the property.
Project Overview
Creating a Traditional Front Boundary in Hersham
The frontage needed a well-defined boundary with a dedicated pedestrian entrance, while still allowing the front of the home to remain visible from the street. The available space also required the railing sections and gate to work together neatly within the existing layout.
Attention was given to the position of the gate, the alignment of each railing section and the spacing across the boundary. This created a practical entrance and a balanced frontage without making the area feel closed off.
