Tubeclamp's Customisable Post Kits
How does it work?
Tubeclamp offers a wide range of convenient and versatile Railing and Post Kits that provide an unmatched solution for constructing strong and scalable hand railings, barriers, or guardrails. These modular kits eliminate the need for specialized tools or complex welding. The fittings easily slide onto the tube and are securely fastened using the provided setscrews, which can be tightened with either an Allen Key or Hexbit Drillbit.
To get started with your railing project, begin by selecting the slope / mounting option that best suits your specific site requirements. Then, personalize your kit by choosing the desired Tube Size, Post Height and if you require fittings for optional Kickrail. Please note that some kits include Kickrail Fittings as standard, and that not all Tube Size options are available for all kits.
Once you have made these selections, complement your kit by choosing from our range of optional extras. These include our Railing Fitting Kits with customizable Rail Fittings, Tubebends such as J Bends, as well as options for horizontal Tube to connect your posts.
All our Fittings and Tubes are crafted from galvanized steel, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. If desired, we also offer powder coating options upon request.
Please keep in mind that our Railing Kits include Base Flanges, Fixing Screws and Vertical Tube only. For fittings to mount horizontal-rails see our Handrail Fitting Kits. Options for horizontal-tube can be found at the Tube section of our website or at the short below.

The strength of a handrail typically increases with the number of horizontal rails it has, but the number of rails needed can vary depending on the specific use.
Single-rail handrails are commonly used in residential properties to provide adequate support for walking on ramps and stairs.
In residential, commercial, and industrial settings, two-rail handrails are the most popular choice due to their balance of strength and cost effectiveness. They are also ideal for ensuring accessibility for children and individuals in wheelchairs.
Triple-rail handrails are typically found in pedestrian walkways or roadside barriers in high traffic areas, providing additional protection and safety measures.
The maximum distance between vertical posts for Disability handrailings should be no large than 1.5m.
Single-rail handrails are typically only used within residential properties. They ensure adequate support for walking on ramps and stairs.

Triple-rail handrails are generally used for pedestrian walkways, or roadside barriers, where high vehicle traffic is present.
Disability handrails should be no shorter than 865mm, nor taller than 1000mm.

Handrails for stairs are the same height as regular handrails relative to the step height rather than to the ground.
