Turned Treated Baluster 1000x42sq

Description

Where would you normally use a turned treated baluster ?
As part of an exterior treated balustrade, perhaps on a balcony or verandah. (The baluster is the part between the top handrail and bottom rail).

What is it made out of ?
Plantation grown Radiata Pine that has been H3 treated (suitable for above ground use).

What are the important dimensions ?
Overall : 1000mm Height x 42mm Width x 42mm Depth
Length of top square : 100mm
Length of turning : 550mm
Length of bottom square : 350mm

How should you finish it ?
A water based primer/undercoat is not a necessity (although it wouldn’t hurt), but at least 2 coats of the final colour is a must.
Leaving it unfinished, oiling it or using a clear lacquer is not recommended.
