Pyramid Top Newel Post for Decking
A pyramid top newel post is used to support decking panels, hand and base rails above ground, and the hidden deck joists beneath the surface when building a deck. This pyramid top newel post is made from the highest quality European Redwood, sourced from sustainably managed forests, giving a strong and reliable base for any decking project.
Each pyramid top newel post has a planed all round finish, a shaped four way eased top, and a rebate cut beneath the top section, giving it a neat, traditional look that suits both modern and more classic decking designs. The post is Tanalised to UC4, meaning it's pressure treated to protect against decay and insect attack, a common concern when timber is going to be in contact with the ground or exposed to damp conditions.
Sizing and specification
This pyramid top newel post is available in two lengths, 1.2m and 1.8m, both at 82 x 82mm, so you can choose the size that matches the height needed for your decking structure. A common question when planning a deck is how a newel post differs from a standard fence post, and the answer is they are specifically shaped and rebated to support handrails and base rails as part of a decking frame, rather than simply holding up a fence panel.
Installation guidance
Fit each pyramid top newel post at the corners or key support points of your decking frame, securing it to the joists below before fitting hand and base rails.
