Galvanised Key Clamp Ready Made Guardrail Posts, End, Corner or Mid, 1100mm with 550mm Mid Rail

Ready made galvanised guardrail posts for a two-rail key clamp barrier: choose the tube size and whether you need an end, corner or mid post, and each one arrives already put together. Every post is 1100mm tall overall, on an oval base flange that bolts to the ground, with the mid rail fitting set at 550mm. An end post has a 90° elbow on top and a short tee at mid height, so both rails finish at the post. A corner post has corner fittings at both heights, so both rails turn 90°. A mid post has a long tee on top and a four way cross at mid height, so both rails pass straight through. Tube and fittings are galvanised for indoor and outdoor use. The price shown is for one post of the size and type you select; rails and floor fixings are not included.

Why use ready made posts

No cutting or fitting on site. Each post arrives cut, fitted and set at height. Stand it in place, drill two holes, fix it down and push the rails in.

Every post the same height. End, corner and mid posts are all 1100mm overall with the mid rail at 550mm, so both rails run level from one end of the run to the other.

Safe, finished ends and corners. Elbows and corner fittings close off the rail ends, so there are no cut tube ends at hand or hip height.

Galvanised for outdoors. The zinc coating protects tube and fittings in car parks, yards, towpaths, school grounds and loading areas.

Specifications

Weights

How many do you need?

For a straight run: two end posts, plus one mid post for every 2 metres in between. Add one corner post at each 90° turn. Allow two lengths of rail tube for each bay, one top and one mid. A run that stops against a wall needs only one end post; finish the other end with wall flanges.

Choosing the right size

Match the post to your rail tube. 42.4mm (often sold as 1¼" or 32mm nominal bore) is the usual size for pedestrian guardrail. 33.7mm suits lighter rails and 48.3mm, the same size as scaffold tube, suits heavier duty barriers. Keep every post, fitting and rail on one run the same size.

Need a single top rail with no mid rail? Use the ready made end, mid and corner posts without a mid rail. For indoor high-visibility guarding, see the yellow end post kits for 33.7mm and 42.4mm tube.

Fitting and care

Set out the run and stand each post in place, with the rail fittings facing along the line. Mark the two holes in each base, drill and fix with anchors to suit the floor (not included). Push the rails fully into the fittings, level them and tighten every grub screw with a hex key. Check the anchors and screws after the first week and then once a year, and touch up scratched galvanising with zinc-rich paint.
