The metal in the wall is used for shaping a perfect ridge for the wall and also used for protecting the wall so that its ridge would not be easily damaged. When the builders paint the wall, people cannot see this metal as the painting covers them. The holes are deigned so that the surface of the ridge will not be separated from the main structural of the wall, so it will not fall off after the painting is dried.
