Hi all, PLEASE HELP, I have searching for months to try and find the cage like railings that fit around the concrete sash window cills and stop the window boxes from falling off. Has any one got any idea where i can buy them. I have pictures of the sort of thing i am looking for if needed.
Many thanks. gary.
There are companies which make up railings, and would probably custom make them for you. If you said what part of the country, someone might suggest a company. There used to be such a company at the other end of my road, and a number of the residents in the street have used them to make up iron railings which all look very smart. It's on my list of things to do too, but not currently near the top.
Find a local welder/fabricator who will make them for you.
hi and thanks for your reply. i had a quote of 736.00 plus vat for two but that amount is crazy. i saw two in eton and asked the old lady but she not remember where she got them from, (bless her she was 93). i thought i could buy them from a shop but have searched for months. dont really know what there called as i have tried searching, window crestings, troughs, hayracks, etc. gary in guildford, surrey.

Where was that price from?
I thought they were called window-box cages, but a Google for that only gives a few American results.

Who from, sounds like an awful lot, try someone else.
the price was from a forger\blacksmiths
i tried another guy and he said about 350.00 each, helppppppppppppppppppppppppp
i have tried google.co.uk and they not there either, also telephone heritage people, national trust and they not even know.
Try a welder instead - it won't be as "hand crafted" and it won't be real wrought iron, but it should be a lot cheaper - you'll probably have to supply drawings though.
