Description
A hand forged round bar point, 90mm, to finish the top of railings and gates. A 12mm round bar end, hand forged over its 90mm height into a long slim taper. The price shown is for one railhead, with a minimum order of 10.
Why choose this railhead
Really forged. Each one is forged by hand from round bar, so the hammer marks show and no two are quite the same.
Same section as the bar. It butt welds end to end to a matching bar, so the joint can be dressed almost invisible.
Raw steel, ready for your finish. At about 0.06 kg each, it comes as bare steel, so you can weld first, then prime and paint, or galvanise and powder coat the finished panel.
Where it is used
Bar ends on gates and railings where a plain, hand-made look is wanted, restoration work and forged balustrades.

Which bar does it suit?
| Upright on your railing | How it fits |
|---|---|
| 12mm round bar | Butt weld end to end. Same section, so the joint dresses flush. The best match |
| Anything larger | Too small for the bar, choose a railhead with a larger foot |
How many do you need?
You need one for every bar that rises above the top rail. Divide the run by your bar spacing and round up.
| Run length | 110mm centres | 120mm centres |
|---|---|---|
| 1 metre gate | 10 | 9 |
| 2 metres of railing | 19 | 17 |
| 3 metres of railing | 28 | 25 |
| 5 metres of railing | 46 | 42 |
On stairs, landings and balconies in homes, the gap between bars must not let a 100mm sphere pass through.

Fitting and care
Cut every bar to the same height, square the ends and grind them flat. Stand each head on its bar, check it is upright from the front and the side, tack it, then weld all round and dress the joint. A string line across the tips keeps the row level.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one?
Yes, one railhead, with a minimum order of 10. For a larger run, call us for a quantity price.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is welded on.
Is it sharp?
The tip is pointed. For schools, play areas and public places, consider a rounded head such as the rounded bud railhead.
Are they all exactly the same?
No. Each one is individually hand forged, so slight variations occur. Set them to a string line when fitting.
