Ready Made Stanchion – Round – Cable – No Weld – 50.8mm

The 50.8mm Round Cable Stanchion is a complete, ready-to-install post for cable balustrade systems. At 900mm in height and 50.8mm in diameter, it provides a sturdy, professional-looking upright that is pre-drilled to accept cable infill — so there is no fabrication or welding required on your end. Simply bolt it down, thread your cables through the pre-drilled holes, and attach your top rail.

The 50.8mm diameter gives this stanchion excellent structural rigidity, making it well suited to longer cable spans, exposed deck edges, and pool surrounds where wind loading and lateral forces are a consideration. The larger post profile also creates a confident visual anchor point that suits both contemporary and classic architectural styles.

Each pack includes everything needed to mount the post: a flange and base plate with pre-drilled fixing holes, a cover plate to conceal the base, and a saddle bracket on which your chosen top rail sits. Cables, top rail tubing, rivets, bolts, and end caps are all sold separately — allowing you to choose the exact finish and specification that suits your project.

Which Grade Should I Choose?

Grade 304 is strong and reliable, suited to internal applications and external use in non-coastal, non-corrosive environments — ideal for inland areas such as Johannesburg, Pretoria, and most non-coastal suburbs.

Grade 316 (Marine Grade) offers superior corrosion resistance and is the essential choice for coastal properties, poolside installations, and any environment exposed to salt air, moisture, or chemicals. If you are in Cape Town, the Winelands, Durban, or any coastal area, Grade 316 is strongly recommended.
