Metal Pickets

Setting the Tone of Your Railing Design

Metal pickets from Twisted Bars establish rhythm, introduce texture, and define the tone of your balustrade. These slender, repeating spindles draw from a wide range of architectural styles, connecting strength with elegance. From the lean, purposeful symmetry of Midwestern Prairie design to the ornate flourishes of Italian Renaissance motifs, pickets help guide the visual language of decks, balconies, and staircase railings.

Offered in a broad assortment of twisted, shaped, and hammered profiles, metal pickets bring both tactile and visual interest to any railing. A twisted design might catch the morning light on a porch, while a belly shaped baluster adds character to a Spanish Colonial balcony railing. These spindle designs support both horizontal and vertical arrangements, allowing for linear modern façades or detailed Victorian-inspired railings.

Design Options for Every Architectural Story

The versatility of metal pickets opens the door to endless creative expression. You can create a classic rhythm by alternating plain spindles with those featuring a subtle single twist. Or evoke the charm of a Charleston veranda or New Orleans balcony by pairing ornate twisted pickets with profiles that feature a decorative hammered surface.

Unlike bulky wooden balusters that tend to obstruct views or deteriorate over time, our slender metal spindles maintain sightlines and ensure long-term durability. Their open, inviting appearance makes outdoor spaces feel lighter and more connected to their surroundings.
