balcony railings

Ledge safety bars

Balcony railings are the protective barriers along the edge of a balcony, preventing falls while allowing views.

They may be made of metal, wood, glass, or other materials, and range from simple functional bars to ornate decorative features: The wrought-iron balcony railings gave the building its French Quarter character.

Building codes typically specify minimum heights and spacing requirements.
