How to Use

Spindles can be attached in various ways depending on the balustrade style being made.
The most common is by woodscrew through the top and bottom rails into the ends of the spindles. The screw needs to be long enough to allow a minimum of 50mm depth into each end of the spindle. Depending on the type of screw used, the spindle may need to be predrilled to prevent the spindle from splitting.
Whatever balustrade style you are making, we recommend using external quality screws as these last longer and do not rust and cause brown stains to mark the spindle.
Measuring & Quantity Calculations

As the maximum interval between any spindle type must not exceed 100mm to prevent a child's head from getting stuck in the gaps.
To achieve this spacing using our square spindles, you must allow eight spindles per metre of the handrail.
