The Snowdon Timber Iron Balustrade Kit Pre-Drilled Rail is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors looking to streamline the installation of aesthetic balustrades. Its primary benefit is the pre-drilled configuration, which significantly reduces the time and precision effort required for mounting. While it offers a sturdy and professional-grade finish, users should note that the 1.8m length is fixed, requiring careful planning for spans that do not align with standard architectural increments.

These rails are designed for horizontal balustrade installations and may not be suitable for the angle of standard staircases.
This pack contains the timber rails only; please purchase weather-resistant screws separately based on your specific post material.
The timber is treated to resist rot and fungal decay, suitable for external exposure.
Yes, once the timber is dry, you can apply an exterior-grade paint or stain over the existing brown finish.
The rail has a thickness of 36mm and a width of 84mm.
Trim the rail to the required length using a fine-toothed saw and re-treat the exposed cut end with wood preservative.
Verify that the rail is mounted into solid structural timber and ensure all screws are tightened to the correct torque.
To install, ensure your posts are securely anchored to your deck frame. Align the pre-drilled rail and use compatible weather-resistant fasteners to secure the rail to the posts. If you must cut the rail to fit a shorter span, ensure the cut end is treated with an appropriate timber preservative to prevent moisture ingress. Regular maintenance includes annual inspections for any loose fasteners and applying a fresh coat of wood stain or water repellent to maintain the brown finish and protect against UV radiation.
