Description
Where would you normally use a stainless steel post that is pre-drilled with 11 holes on opposite sides? As an intermediate post to structurally support a horizontal cable balustrade on a deck or balcony. On a wire balustrade, you need to have a support post approximately every 1.5 metres (when using 3.2mm wire cable).
Which saddles go with this post? Any of the saddles found here
Why are some posts 1.6mm and others are 3.0mm ? This refers to the wall thickness of the post. In most cases, the 1.6mm wall thickness will be enough for use on corner, end and intermediate posts with glass balustrade. For wire balustrades, you may want to consider going with the heavier 3.0mm wall thickness; particularly in the case of a free-standing end post where the correct legal tension required for the wire cable could cause the post to distort. For intermediate; the 1.6mm wall thickness is usually enough.
What is it made out of? 316 Stainless Steel in a Mirror Polish Finish.
What are the important dimensions? Overall Height: 960mm, once one of the saddles has been added. Wall Thickness: 1.6mm. Diameter of post: 50.8mm Diameter of base: 100mm (supplied with cover plate) There are 2 rows of 11 holes (each of 4mm diameter) drilled on opposite sides of the post. They are spaced 80mm apart so as to conform to regulations for wire cable balustrades.
How should you fasten it to the ground/deck? Due to the large number of surfaces that the post could be fixed to, we do not supply any fasteners. We suggest that you speak to a local hardware store for more info.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.
How to reduce the risk of tea staining
Absence of corrosives – especially salt, chlorine, cleaning acids etc.
Atmospheric Conditions – lower temperatures and low humidity are better.
Surface orientation – Open exposure to rain washing is better
Surface Finish – In general a smoother finish is better. where practical mirror polish finish may perform better than a brushed finish.
Chemical cleanliness or passivation of the surface improves corrosion resistance
Appropriate grade selection for conditions
Regular Maintenance to limit the accumulation of corrosives
Stainless steel cleaning schedule
The frequency of cleaning will vary depending on environmental factors i.e. proximity to the ocean, atmospheric and urban conditions. Below is intended as a guide and should be varied as required. We recommend using peek stainless steel polish for maintenance.
