The Weaver design is a contemporary interpretation of the classic ductile iron post and rail format. Its slim profile allows it to sit comfortably within both historic and modern schemes, providing clear separation without visual clutter.
Typical applications include:
• Town centre pedestrian zones
• Parks and green spaces
• Conservation-led regeneration projects
• Walkways, forecourts, and civic squares
• Perimeter definition around planting or seating areas
Often specified as an alternative to heavier cast iron post and rail systems, Weaver railings provide strength with a lighter visual footprint.
A well-designed post and rail barrier supports safe movement through busy environments, helping to manage access and protect landscaped areas.
The Weaver 2 Rail system is commonly used to:
• Discourage informal crossing points
• Define pedestrian routes near highways
• Protect soft landscaping from vehicle overrun
• Create subtle boundaries around public seating and street furniture
For cohesive schemes, it can be paired with Broxap’s wider range of bollards, litter bins, and heritage street furniture.
Weaver ductile iron railings are engineered for long-term outdoor use, with rail options suited to different project requirements.
Rail Specification
• Designed to take 2 no. 42.4mm diameter rails
• Available with galvanised steel rails as standard
• Optional stainless steel rails for enhanced corrosion resistance
Fixing Methods
• Root fixed installation for permanent, high-security applications
• Baseplate fixing where surface mounting is preferred
As a form of heritage railings, the Weaver system is well suited to sensitive environments where traditional detailing is important, but performance expectations are high.
Ductile iron provides improved resilience compared with traditional cast iron, offering:
• Greater impact resistance
• Reduced risk of brittle fracture
• Long service life in exposed locations
This makes Weaver an excellent choice for local authorities and contractors seeking dependable boundary railings with heritage character.
For installations in coastal environments or areas affected by salt water erosion, Broxap can provide an enhanced Waterside paint specification (POA).
Recommended for:
• Seafront promenades
• Marina developments
• Coastal transport infrastructure
• Exposed public realm sites near salt spray
