<p>Material is useful particularly in urban situations. A steel
squeezer designed to prevent motorcyclists is likely to be there
several years after installation, whereas a wooden one will likely
have been destroyed to allow access. Those metal squeezers are
also difficult to navigate with a bicycle and tall people and
those with bulky rucsac's.</p>

<div>Good point. I tend to add as much detail, as I've either
recorded or can remember later, as there are tags for stiles
(as with any other object in OSM that comes in various forms).
Two reasons for this:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I want to get as much information captured in one pass
as I can.</li>
<li>I never know how useful the information could be to
someone else. For instance, imagine if someone wanted to
plot the distribution of stile types and materials right
across the UK...</li>
</ul>
<div>Happy mapping, everyone.</div>

<div dir="auto">It's not very unusual for stiles to be added
where the wall or (more so) fence exists but isn't in the
database. There's also dry stone walls in various states
of disrepair that are more likely to be in the database
than the fence that's been added alongside with a wooden
stepover. You also find metal stepovers.</div>
