for 48.3mm tube with a 2mm wall, and it will not fit other wall thicknesses properly. Cut the post square and deburr the inside, then tap the support into the post with a soft mallet until the cap sits down on the post. For extra security it can be bonded with a structural adhesive made for stainless steel, or welded. Lay the rail on the saddles, then fix the rail to each saddle with short screws from below into pre-drilled holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutdoors, rinse with fresh water and wipe along the grain every few weeks, more often near the sea or a pool.
