Beaded Newel Posts
Firstly, these posts have a smooth planed finish and all 4 corners are rounded. Beaded newel posts are normally used for deck installation with machined handrails and spindles. We stock three sizes, 1.25 metre, 1.8 metre and 2.4 metres. They feature a squared profile with two lines of detail routed out at the top of the post and a truncated pointed top. They present an attractive, contemporary alternative to square posts. These posts are not intened for ground contact but they ae UC4 treated and will provide part of the support structure for decking installations.
These beaded newels are pressure treated with preservative to UC4 (but they can only be certified to UC3 because of other factors) . This means they are best bolted to sawn UC4 pressure treated posts, or concrete blocks, for support.. These posts are machined from 100mm timber and have a finished cross section of approximately 94mm x 94mm. Post lengths are as follows:
Planed Posts carried in stock
1.25 metre beaded newel, tanalised – bolt to frame or ground support, use with rope or machined handrail/spindles
1.8 beaded metre newel, tanalised – deck frame support, ground support with concrete blocks, attach handrail/baserail and spindles
2.4 beaded metre newel, tanalised – deck frame support, ground contact via concrete blocks for handrail/baserail and spindles
However, if you require even longer lengths then try the Southern Timber Planed posts These posts are machined in the same mill using 100mm timber and also finish at 94mm x 94mm.
Care of timber
Finally these beaded newel posts are pressure treated, therefore they may be damp when delivered. We store all our tanalised timber outdoors. Once the installation is finished it would be advisable to apply an extra coat of water repellent stain. This will slow water absorption and give the decking and balustrade timbers a more uniform colour and appearance. However, under no circumstances should the base of the newel post be cross-cut. Similarly any holes drilled (e.g. for rope) should be treated with end-grain treatment according to the manufacturers instructions.
