Description
A big, bold spear for gate posts and heavy railings. This finial is 205mm tall and weighs about 1.03 kg: a broad, round-tipped leaf spear 60mm wide with a raised rib down each face, a ring collar, and a flared bell base 43mm across on a 20mm spigot. It is sized for the tops of gate posts, piers and heavy bar, where a standard railhead would look lost. The price shown is for one finial, with a minimum order of 5.
Why choose this finial
Post-sized. At 205mm tall and 60mm wide it is in proportion with 40mm to 60mm gate posts and heavy bar, giving a strong finish to an entrance.
Rounded tip. The leaf has a broad, round end rather than a needle point, so it looks bold without being sharp.
Bell base and spigot. The flared 43mm bell base sits neatly on a post cap, and the 20mm spigot locates in a drilled cap or butt welds to the cap plate.
Solid casting. At over a kilo it has real weight and presence, and it will not bend if a gate swings into it.
Where it is used
Gate posts and hanging posts, pier caps, driveway entrances, estate and farm gates, and end posts on heavy railings.

Fitting and care
On a hollow post, weld a flat cap plate over the end first. Either drill a 21mm hole in the centre for the spigot or weld the spigot straight to the cap. Stand the finial upright, check it from the front and the side, tack it, then weld out all round the base.
Clean the weld with a flap disc, degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life on gate posts.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one finial?
Yes, it is for one finial, with a minimum order of 5. For a larger job, call us for a quantity price.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw cast steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is welded on.
Is it solid?
Yes. It is a solid casting of about 1.03 kg.
Can I bolt it on instead of welding?
It is made to be welded. On timber posts, a metal post cap with a welded finial can then be screwed to the post.
Are all the finials exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two.
