Description
The classic fleur-de-lys on a fluted block base, sized for garden railings and gates. This railhead is cast steel, 120mm tall and 60mm across, with a ribbed pointed centre leaf, two petals that curl out and down into round scrolls, a raised band collar, a pair of small scrolls below and a fluted square block base 25mm wide and 22mm tall. The price shown is for one railhead, with a minimum order of 10, enough to top a 1 metre gate.
Why choose this railhead
The full fleur-de-lys. Upper petals, band collar and lower scrolls give the complete, layered fleur-de-lys outline that suits Victorian and Edwardian houses.
Matches a bigger gate head. It is the same pattern as our 158mm fleur-de-lys, so you can use the larger head on gates and posts and this one on the railing between them.
Fluted block base. The 25mm square block sits flat on a 16mm to 25mm bar and gives straight edges to weld along.
Light, raw steel, ready for your finish. At about 0.22 kg each it comes as bare cast steel, so weld first, then prime and paint, or galvanise and powder coat.
Where it is used
Front garden railings on dwarf walls, pedestrian and side gates, railing restoration, balcony balustrades and decorative fence panels.

Which bar does it suit?
| Bar on your railing | How the 25mm block sits |
|---|---|
| 16mm square | Block overhangs about 4.5mm each side, a collar look |
| 20mm square | Block overhangs about 2.5mm each side, the usual choice |
| 25mm square | Block is flush on all four faces |
| 12mm square | Block looks heavy, choose a stub-base railhead |
How many do you need?
You need one railhead for every picket that rises above the top rail. Divide the run by your picket spacing and round up.
| Run length | 110mm centres | 120mm centres | 130mm centres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 metre gate | 10 | 9 | 8 |
| 2 metres of railing | 19 | 17 | 16 |
| 3 metres of railing | 28 | 25 | 24 |
| 5 metres of railing | 46 | 42 | 39 |
The petals are 60mm across, so at 110mm centres there is a 50mm gap between neighbouring heads. On stairs, landings and balconies in homes, the gap between pickets must not let a 100mm sphere pass through.

Fitting and care
Cut every picket to the same height first, then grind the cut ends flat and clean. Stand each railhead on its bar with the petals facing along the railing and the block faces lined up with the bar, check it is upright, and tack it. Run a string line across the points before welding out.
Remove spatter from 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 outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one railhead?
Yes, it is for 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 cast steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is welded on.
Is it the same on both sides?
Yes. The casting is decorated on both faces.
Are all the railheads exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two. Set them to a string line when fitting.
