Specifications

What it's used for

• Corner and intermediate newel posts for garden decking balustrades
• Structural support posts for handrail systems on raised decking areas
• End posts for decking staircase sections requiring a rounded top finish
• Replacement newel posts on existing deck structures where the original post has deteriorated

Fitting and handling

Before installation, store the posts flat on a level surface, off the ground and under cover, to prevent warping while the timber adjusts to site conditions. Fix the post securely to the deck frame or joist using appropriate post bases or coach bolts, ensuring the base is not left in standing water to maximise service life. Although the timber is pressure treated, any cut ends should be re-treated on site with a compatible end-grain preservative to maintain protection.

FAQ

What height does a 1375mm decking newel post give above the deck surface?

The usable height above deck level will depend on how deep the post is fixed into the frame, but with a typical 100-150mm fixing depth, you can expect around 1200-1275mm of visible post, which is suitable for standard domestic handrail heights.

Does this newel post need painting or staining after fitting?

The post is supplied treated against rot and does not require an immediate finish coat for protection. However, applying a UV-resistant exterior decking stain or oil will improve its appearance over time and help slow the natural greying that occurs with weathered softwood outdoors.

Can this post be used for a fence as well as decking?

This newel post is designed and sized for decking balustrade systems. For fencing applications, a heavier-section fence post with a longer length is usually more appropriate. Nottage Timber Merchants stocks a range of dedicated fence posts if needed.
