Our Iron and Aluminum Fence Finial Tips have a Rounded Safety Ball at the Top<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We get a lot of questions on if the tips on our fence are pointy and sharp.\u00a0 The tips are called finials (fin-e-alls) and our standard ones are not pointy and sharp.\u00a0 Our iron fence finials are solid cast iron and the aluminum fence finials are solid cast aluminum.\u00a0 The castings are rounded and have a safety ball on the top.\u00a0 This is to ensure that if you fall over on the fence, it will not impale you.\u00a0 It might not be a fun experience, but it won’t leave you poked full of holes either.\u00a0 We do this as a safety measure and to meet code in many municipalities.\u00a0 I included a close up photo of our standard iron and aluminum finials below.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the images above, they are not pointy or sharp, but they are enough to give someone a second though about climbing over the fence.<\/p>\n

If you are still concerned about the finials sticking up on top, we do offer a flat topped iron and aluminum panel in our Pool style #2. \u00a0The heights are limited to 50″ tall in iron and 54″ tall in aluminum, but they offer a flat\/ flush top and bottom to the panel so that all the picket is contained between the horizontal rails.<\/p>\n
