Our aluminium balustrade post is the structural upright of the balustrade system — a 75mm × 75mm square post finished in black powder-coated aluminium for a clean, modern look that won't rust, rot or fade outdoors. Each post stands 1140mm to the top of the cap, giving a finished guarding height of 1100mm once installed, in line with UK building regulations (BS 6180:2011).
Every post has a 120mm square base plate with a fixing hole in each corner, so it bolts securely onto any solid, structural surface — timber decking, concrete, stone or masonry — with the recommended M10 × 80mm fixings. A matching base cover finishes the fixing neatly.
Posts are the maximum span of 1829mm apart, with additional posts added along longer runs to keep the balustrade rigid and compliant. Posts are sold separately so you can buy exactly the number your layout needs.

Yes. The system is made from aluminium with a durable powder-coated finish, making it:
It’s designed for year-round outdoor exposure in UK conditions.
The maximum spacing between posts is 1829mm (72"). This is the longest internal span your aluminium rail is designed to support.
However, you can cut the rails down to fit shorter gaps if needed. Always cut equal amounts from both ends to maintain balanced picket spacing.
Tip: Cut rails approximately 3.5mm shorter than the post-to-post gap to allow for bracket clearance.
316 stainless steel requires minimal maintenance—periodic cleaning with warm soapy water is usually sufficient.
Each post is 75mm × 75mm square, with a finished height of 1140mm to the top of the post cap. This gives a finished guarding height of 1100mm once installed, in line with UK building regulations. Each post has a 120mm square base plate with a fixing hole in each corner for secure mounting.
Yes — posts are sold separately. The rail kit contains the rails, pickets, spacers, brackets and fixings, but not the posts, so you buy exactly the number of posts your layout needs. Our balustrade calculator works out how many posts you need for your run.
The maximum span between posts is 1829mm. For any run longer than this, you'll need additional posts along the run to stay within that maximum and keep the balustrade rigid and compliant.
Each post has a 120mm square base plate with a fixing hole in each corner. Posts are bolted down onto a solid structural surface — recommended fixings are M10 × 80mm bolts, though the correct fixing can vary depending on your mounting surface. A base cover finishes the fixing neatly.
Posts can be fixed to any solid, structural surface — decking (into the joists), concrete, stone, or masonry with suitable fixings. The key is that the post fixes into solid structural material beneath the surface, not just a decorative top layer.
The posts are made from powder-coated aluminium in a black finish — rust-free, low-maintenance, and built to handle UK weather year-round without the upkeep of timber or steel.

Our aluminium balustrade is designed and tested in line with BS 6180:2011, the British Standard for barriers in and around buildings — so you can install it with confidence around domestic decking, patios, balconies and stairs.
It's designed and tested in line with BS 6180:2011, the British Standard referenced for barriers under Approved Document K. It's load-tested and certified for domestic single-family use (0.36 kN/m). For communal, commercial or public areas, higher load classes apply — speak to us or your building designer first.
The finished guarding height is 1100 mm, and pickets are spaced at 96.5 mm so a 100 mm sphere cannot pass through — meeting the gap requirement for domestic guarding.
