The difference is the way they are placed next to each other, and interact with Rails. They can be used as fences, but when placed side by side in the air, they do not have vertical posts between the horizontal rails. Metal posts can be used as colored fences, they don't burn, and are just a better decorative option than fences for certain applications.
