Straight Raw Fir Post H 120cm – 60x60mm Section for Balustrade and Handrail

This straight post in solid raw fir measures 120 cm in height with a square section of 60x60 mm. It is designed to form the vertical uprights of an interior balustrade or handrail, and connects directly to the handrails, bottom rails and balusters of the WoodUp range. Sold individually, it allows you to freely build a bespoke balustrade or complete an existing kit.

Raw planed fir offers a clean, slightly textured surface ready to receive a finish (paint, oil, stain or varnish). Its 60x60 mm section matches the standard format of WoodUp fir balustrade kits — it is directly compatible with the 60x50 mm handrails and 50x35 mm bottom rails in the range. In dry interior use, a protective finish is sufficient to guarantee a lifespan of 15 years and more. For installation in a sheltered exterior, choose a stain or exterior oil and renew the treatment every 2 to 3 years.

Installation advice

Layout: Space the posts a maximum of 1.5 m apart to ensure the regulatory stability of the handrail. Over a 2 m span, one end post and one intermediate post are sufficient if the other end is anchored to a wall. Over 3 m or more, allow one post every 1.5 m.

Floor fixing: This post is fixed using floor plates (not included). Choose galvanised steel or stainless steel plates for maximum durability. On concrete: Ø8mm expansion anchors. On timber floor: long wood screws Ø5mm (= 60mm). Check vertically with a spirit level before final tightening.

Assembly: The railing and bottom rail bear against or slot into the post depending on the configuration. For a clean result, pre-drill the joints before screwing. Apply your chosen finish before assembly if you opt for a varnish or paint — access to hidden faces is much easier.

Maintenance and protection

In a dry interior, apply 2 to 3 coats of floor varnish or oil-wax and clean with soapy water once or twice a year. In a sheltered exterior, renew the stain or exterior oil every 2 to 3 years. Check the tightness of the fixing plates annually. Without treatment, fir darkens and deteriorates quickly in the presence of moisture.

Frequently asked questions

Is this 60x60mm fir post compatible with WoodUp balustrade kits?

Yes. It is designed to pair with WoodUp fir balustrade kits (Fir balustrade kit 2m + 1 post, Fir balustrade kit 1m without post, Fir balustrade kit 2m without post). The 60x50mm handrail and 50x35mm bottom rail in these kits are dimensioned to slot into or be screwed onto this 60x60mm post. It is the standard replacement or extension post for the WoodUp fir range.

How many posts are needed for a 3-metre balustrade?

For a 3 m span, allow for a minimum of 3 posts: one at each end and one intermediate post in the middle (1.5 m spacing). If one end is fixed to a wall or stringer, 2 posts are sufficient — one free post and one intermediate post 1.5 m from the wall.

Can this fir post be used outdoors?

Yes, with appropriate treatment. Fir is a natural durability class 2 timber: it can withstand a few months without protection but deteriorates quickly under permanent exposure to the elements. Apply an exterior stain or water-repellent oil before installation and renew the treatment every 2 to 3 years. For intensive outdoor use (damp areas, coastal locations), opt for Douglas fir or pressure-treated pine.

Which fixing plate should be chosen for this post?

The fixing plates are not included as they depend on the substrate. For a timber floor, choose a screw-in anchor plate Ø60mm compatible with square sections. For concrete, use a cast-in or expansion anchor plate. Prefer stainless steel or galvanised plates to avoid rust, especially outdoors.
