Description
The ready made end post finishes a single top rail barrier with a neat, closed end, delivered already put together: bolt it down, push the rail into the elbow and the job is done. It is an oval base flange, a 42.4mm galvanised post and a 90° elbow on top, assembled at 1100mm overall height. The end of the top rail pushes into the elbow, which turns it down into the post, so there is no open tube end where people walk. There is no mid rail fitting, so it suits single-rail barriers and stand-off rails. Tube and fittings are galvanised for indoor and outdoor use. The price shown is for one complete post; rails and floor fixings are not included.
Why use a ready made end post
No cutting or assembly on site. The post arrives cut, fitted and set at height. Each post goes up in the time it takes to drill two holes and tighten two anchors.
A safe, finished end. The elbow closes off the end of the rail and turns it into the post, so the barrier ends with a smooth bend rather than a cut tube.
The same height as the run. Ready made end, mid and corner posts are all 1100mm overall, so the rail sits level from one end to the other without measuring each post.
Galvanised for outdoors. The zinc coating protects the tube and fittings in car parks, yards, walkways and loading areas.
Where it is used
The ends of single-rail pedestrian barriers along walkways and footpaths, stand-off rails in front of shop windows and building walls, car park and yard edge rails, crowd and queue lines, and low guard rails round plant, meters and machinery.

Need a mid rail as well? Use the ready made end post with mid rail at 550mm, or build posts from separate fittings with a four way cross at mid height.
How many do you need?
Two end posts for every separate run, one at each end. A run that ends against a wall needs only one end post; finish the other end with a wall flange. Space mid posts at up to 2 metre centres between them.
Choosing the right size
This post takes 42.4mm outside diameter rail, often sold as 1¼" or 32mm nominal bore. The same ready made end post is made for 33.7mm and 48.3mm rail.
Fitting and care
Set out the run, stand the post in place and mark the two holes in the base. Drill and fix with anchors to suit the floor (not included). Push the rail fully into the elbow, level it and tighten all grub screws with a 5/16" hex key. Check the anchors and screws after the first week and once a year, and touch up scratched galvanising with zinc-rich paint.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for the whole post?
Yes. The price is for one complete post: base, tube and elbow, assembled. Rails and floor fixings are extra.
Does it have a mid rail fitting?
No. This version carries a single top rail only.
Can the rail carry on past the post?
No. The rail ends in the elbow. For a post the rail passes over, use the ready made mid post.
Is a load rating published?
No load rating is published. For a barrier that must meet a set load, ask a structural engineer to check the design and the floor fixings.
