Loft Railing

[artnews300]

Hi
I live in a loft. I want to surround the loft area with some kind of railing because currently there is nothing to prevent you to fall from it)
I have 2 questions.
1. I know how to build a rail but I'd appreciate any kind of advice of combining materials (like wire mesh and wood for example) but I am looking for the most economical option.
2. The other is - I'd like some links to companies that actually built railing and possibly wouldn't cost thousands. I really need a relatively small amount and I am mostly able to find kinda ugly tipical house railings.

Thank you

I like to use stainless steel cable rails.
You can buy all the pieces and even for an amateur it's a pretty easy install.
