FAQs

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 ?
Curved Saddle
Flat Saddle

Why are some posts 1.5mm and others are 3.0mm ?
This refers to the wall thickness of the post.
In most cases the 1.5mm wall thickness is used for intermediate posts, whereas the corner and end posts are made using 3.0mm wall thickness stainless steel tube, due to the extra strain placed on these posts when tensioning wire cable.

What is it made out of?
316 Stainless Steel in a Satin Finish.

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
