Floral Scroll Baluster Panel 310 x 1000mm, 12mm Twisted Square Bar with Cast Flower

A traditional feature panel for gates, railings and staircases. This baluster is built on one 1000mm length of 12mm square mild steel bar. Its 560mm centre is 310mm wide: a pair of heart-shaped scrolls curls in at the top and another at the bottom, S-curves sweep out at the sides, a cast five-petal flower sits on the bar at the middle and four small cast leaf clusters fill the scrolls. Twisted bar runs above and below, with short plain ends to weld to your rails. Use one as the centrepiece of a garden gate, or space them along a railing or balustrade. It comes in raw steel, ready to weld and finish. The price shown is for one panel.

Why fabricators use it

The whole feature in one part. The scrolls, flower and leaves are already fixed to the centre bar with collars, so there is no scroll bending or collar fitting on your bench. Weld the bar in and the decoration is done.

Standard 12mm square bar. The centre bar is the same size as the plain balusters most gate and railing makers stock, so it lines up with the rest of the infill and welds to the same rails.

Reads well from a distance. At 310mm wide, the scroll centre fills a good part of a single garden gate and stands out clearly in a run of plain bars, which a slim baluster cannot do.

Takes any finish. Raw mild steel can be painted, powder coated or hot-dip galvanised to match the rest of the job.

Where it is used

Centrepieces for single garden and side gates, feature bars in front garden railings on dwarf walls, period staircase and landing balustrades, balcony fronts, driveway gates, cemetery and church railings, and decorative screens or trellis panels in gardens.

Specifications

How many do you need?

Because it is wide, this panel is normally used as a single centrepiece or spaced out along a run:

Stairs, landings and balconies in homes: no gap in the guarding may let a 100mm sphere pass. Set the plain bars either side close enough to the scrolls to keep every gap under 100mm, and check the finished railing with a 100mm gauge.

Choosing the right panel

Fitting and care

Measure the clear height between your rails. The plain ends are short, so for a lower gate or railing cut back equally into the twisted bar at each end, keeping the scroll centre in the middle. Square the ends, tack the bar to the bottom rail, set it plumb in both directions, tack the top, then weld out and grind flush. Tack the outer scrolls to neighbouring bars if you want extra stiffness in a gate. Raw steel will rust if left bare, so finish it promptly. Outdoors, have it hot-dip galvanised, or degrease, prime with a zinc-rich or etch primer and top coat with metal paint. Check painted ironwork each spring and touch up chips.
