Description
Where would you normally use an intermediate stainless steel post?
To structurally support a wire 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 a 3.2mm wire cable).
The minimalist look of the intermediate post allows you to space your major posts every 3 metres, with the intermediate post going in between.
The T plate at the top and bottom of the post is not able to be put on an angle, which means that this post can ONLY be used for flat (horizontal) balustrade.
What handrail can be used with this post?
The balustrade must be 1m in height (measured from the deck to the top of the handrail). This post is 960mm, so the handrail must be flat and be a minimum of 40mm thick and 30mm wide. (The flat plate on the top and bottom comes pre-drilled and is 30mm wide and 60mm long.)
Does it come pre-drilled?
Yes, there are 11 holes each of 8mm in diameter. They are spaced 80mm apart so as to conform to regulations for wire cable balustrades.
What is it made out of?
316 Stainless Steel in a Satin Finish.
What are the important dimensions?
Height: 960mm
Post Body: 30mm wide x 5mm thick
T piece (top and bottom) : 30mm wide x 60mm long
Diameter of holes: 8mm (11 holes spaced 80mm apart)

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.
Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.
