Hello!
I need 3 "staket" for the upstairs, 2 about 1.1m and one about 1.6m.
I would like details in cast iron but I can't find any suppliers of such
but I found this http://www.montano.se/dept/SMIDESPRODUKTER_65373/SWE/SEK
Does anyone know of others? I would like to see as many details as possible before I decide how it should be.

There are usually blacksmiths here and there in the country, not too many but they do exist. If you go to one, you get it just the way you want. However, not in cast iron.
Yes, there are several options.
(1) You can go and get something cast.
(2) Go to a blacksmith.
(3) Fix it yourself using ready-made parts that many blacksmiths also use.
(4) Build in wood.
(5) Buy at a building recycling center.
No. 1 is already ruled out as it might be a bit too expensive. But if you find someone who casts standard details, you might be able to put something together for a reasonable price.
No. 2 I'm considering, I've found a few online who use the details I'm linking to.
I’ve seen what several blacksmith workshops accomplish, and it’s absolutely hair-raising. Finding those who really know how to forge and have an eye for balance—I’m not sure if you find that without recommendations.
No. 3 becomes much cheaper. What my workshop lacks is a forge, but I have plans to get one.
No. 4 I've considered.
No. 5 I've searched.
I've been thinking about building a forge using a brake drum or buying one like this

I realized that I haven't followed up on this thread properly.
This is how it has turned out so far, there will be a wooden over-rigger and the fence will be mounted between wooden posts.
I already have one in place but there are a bunch of boxes in the way, there will be another picture eventually. Possibly, I might let the fence be black galvanized.
The welds should be tidied up

Now the boxes are gone
Well, it's not just the fences that need to be completed. The beams in the ceiling will be covered with stucco, the pillars will get a panel at the bottom and then be painted white. A wooden cap rail will sit on the fence, probably in the same color as the floor. Now I'm looking for a small crystal chandelier for the staircase.I've bought the parts for the fence from www.montano.se as I couldn't find any other supplier of wrought iron parts. But it turned out quite okay.
