Description

The ASF Buckden 2 Rail Cast Iron Post and Rail is a popular post and rail design across all metal types. This cast iron version has the advantages of being from 100% recycled materials that is also 100% recyclable and has the incredible longevity that only cast iron offers - in normal use these posts will last in excess of 100 years even if left unpainted and allowed to oxidise.


Available as a root or baseplate fixing and as a 2 rail standard design ASF there are also options to have different configurations of rails / panels / chains. ASF can incorporate gates and removable sections if needed.


These posts can also be married with glass panels to make a bespoke glass balustrade.


These posts have been used on projects where loadings of 3kN have been needed, and they have met these loadings at 1600mm centres in grade 250 cast iron.


If manufactured in SG (Ductile) iron, these posts can also be used as an effective RAM Raid barrier
