Primo-Balusters and Primo-Newels

Here are a few photos of  MR. DECK's all-solid plastic turned balusters integrated with all-plastic newels.


▲ Shows our turned 33½" solid-plastic balusters used with DecKorators ¾-inch white powder-coated aluminum tubular 36" balusters in between, installed in the deck border plank and the top-rail just beneath the cap of a 36½-inch high railing. Shows 39-inch high newels without lamps installed (cap inserts for mounting lamps). The newels are built around 6x6 pressure-treated wooden posts integrated into the deck's framing.

◄ Shows our plastic newels used in a support-post role with vertical  plastic cladding above the basic newel.

The two vertical grooves in the cladding are not only decorative but allow rain water to flow freely behind  the arbor's kneebraces thereby avoiding its getting trapped in the back crevasse where dryrot could otherwise occur.

Shows different  ► height newels on top and bottom of  stairs.
 


◄ Shows outside view of newels and balusters integrated into a continuous 18-foot long railing.  Newels are a necessity when curved (bent) railings are installed.

The 39" Primo-balusters are at 30" spacing and space filled in with  black powder-coated Baroque 1" by ¼" aluminum balusters.

Note: Discontinuity in color of black balusters stems from light reflected off surface of shiny balusters .

 

Shows 45" high newel with weather-protected electrical receptacle on bottom of front ► panel and lamp on top.

Shows  turned balusters at railing ends without newels. The solid-plastic Primo-balusters are rigid enough to serve as posts on short straight railing segments. ▼

Balusters:

  • These balusters are the only plastic balusters which can fasten directly into the deck.

  • They're tapped on the bottom end for either a 1-inch or ½-inch course thread (you specify).

  • Metal all-thread fasteners are not included; these can be obtained at a local hardware store saving weight and thereby freight costs.

  • 1-inch nylon all-thread fasteners are available for use in hardscape decks (see price-list).

Newels:

  • Capitals and bases come completely assembled.

  • Panels come separate and are assembled into the bases at the time of installation.

Complete written installation and framing instructions are furnished with each order along with helpful blueprints .
