Description
A massive twisted bar for posts that need to stand out. This is 30 x 30mm solid square mild steel, 1200mm long, twisted along its length into a deep spiral, with short plain square ends to fix into a base plate, cap or socket. At over 8kg it has the weight and presence for newel posts, gate posts and feature uprights, where a normal railing bar would look thin. The price shown is for one bar.
Why choose this bar
Real weight. Solid 30mm square bar gives a post that looks and feels like proper forged ironwork, with a deep twist that throws strong highlights and shadows.
Plain square ends. Each end has about 30mm of plain square bar, so the post sits square in a base plate, welds neatly to a flat plate and takes a square cap or finial.
A useful length. At 1.2m it suits a staircase newel, a pedestrian gate post or a balcony corner post, and it can be cut down for shorter uses.
Raw steel, ready for your finish. It comes as bare mild steel, so weld it in first, then prime and paint, or galvanise it.
Where it is used
Staircase newel posts, pedestrian gate posts, balcony and balustrade end posts, garden arch uprights, fire basket and log store legs, and sculptural metalwork.

Fitting and care
For a newel or gate post, weld a base plate to the bottom plain end and bolt it down, or set the bottom end into a concrete footing at least 300mm deep. Fit a cap or finial to the top plain end to finish it. The bar is heavy, so get help to hold it plumb while it is fixed.
Clean off mill scale, degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Work the paint into the twist with a brush so no bare steel is left. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one bar?
Yes, the price is for one 1.2m twisted bar.
Can I cut it shorter?
Yes. Cut with a bandsaw or cut-off saw. You lose the plain end on the cut side, so plan which end goes into the base.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw mild steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it.
Is it in stock?
Stock of this heavy bar is limited. For more than one, call us before ordering and we will confirm availability and lead time.
