The rails carry on through the post in a straight line, and the long tee lets two top rail lengths meet over the post. Tube and fittings are powder coated yellow RAL 1023 and are made mainly for indoor use. It comes loose, ready for you to assemble with a hex key. The price shown is for one complete kit; rails and floor fixings are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg

Slide the four way cross on and set its centre 550mm above the floor with the sockets facing along the run, then fit the long tee on top so the overall height is 1100mm. Stand the post in place, mark the two holes in the base, drill and fix with anchors to suit the floor (not included). Push the rail ends fully into the cross and the tee, 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 chips with yellow RAL 1023 paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor note:\u003c\/strong\u003e the powder coat suits outdoor use, but the brass-coated grub screws will rust outside. If the guardrail is outdoors, coat the threads inside each fitting and the grub screws with matching yellow paint after fitting. For a long outdoor life, galvanised key clamp is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the price for the whole post?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
