Round wire balustrade posts are the foundation of any round-profile wire balustrading system — suited to horizontal balustrade on decks, balconies, and staircases where a softer, more classic finish is the goal. Less angular than square posts, the round profile works well on traditional homes and projects where an understated look is preferred.
All posts are 316 marine-grade stainless steel handrail posts, pre-drilled to suit your post and wire balustrade fittings, and available for flat or round handrail in satin or mirror polish — with powdercoating available on request.

Round posts have a softer, more classic profile than square posts. They suit traditional homes and projects where a less angular finish is preferred. The choice is largely aesthetic — both perform the same structural function in a wire balustrade system. See how to choose wire balustrade posts for a full comparison.
What sizes are available in the round post range?
The main post size is 50.8mm (2") diameter, covering end, corner, intermediate, and angled configurations. The range also includes a ½" (12.7mm) intermediate dropper post for installations requiring additional wire support between main posts.
Is black powdercoated available in round posts?
Round posts don't come powdercoated as a standard off-the-shelf product, but powdercoating on 316 stainless round posts is available on request. Get in touch to discuss your project requirements.
What's the difference between Standard and Premium round posts?
The Standard range suits most residential wire balustrade projects and is the lower-cost option. The Premium range offers greater customisation for non-standard requirements — including custom hole drilling for specific stair angles. Read the full posts buying guide for a detailed breakdown.
Do you have posts for stairs and angled runs?
Yes — both the Standard and Premium ranges include angled posts for stairs and ramps, with holes custom drilled to suit your specific stair angle. Stair posts are always made to order. You can request a quote through here.
What handrail suits round wire balustrade posts?
