Bar Railing
Create clean horizontal lines with the Seattle stainless-steel bar railing system for decks, balconies, stairs, patios, and interior spaces. The modular collection combines square posts, rigid rectangular bar infill, holders, stair connectors, and compatible handrail components in a coordinated architectural design.
Seattle horizontal bar railing in satin 316 stainless steel
Square posts use 1.57 × 1.57-inch tubing with a heavy 12-gauge / 2.6 mm wall. Standard post heights include 36 and 42 inches, with project-specific fabrication options available.
Rigid 9/16 × 3/16-inch stainless-steel bar infill creates a crisp alternative to cable or glass while dedicated holders and pivot connectors support level and stair configurations.
Seattle Bar Railing System & Components
Build a Coordinated Horizontal Bar Railing
-
Square railing posts
Choose the post height and end or middle configuration required for the railing layout. -
Rigid rectangular bar infill
9/16 × 3/16-inch satin stainless-steel bars are available in 8-foot and 16-foot lengths. -
Bar infill holders
Dedicated holders create consistent connections between the post and horizontal stainless-steel bars. -
Pivot connectors for stairs
Adjustable connectors accommodate angled bar runs in stair applications. -
Handrail components
Coordinate the railing with compatible rectangular handrail bar and related mounting parts.
The modular format allows components to be selected around the dimensions and geometry of the project. Confirm post positions, bar lengths, stair angles, handrail requirements, and all connection hardware before ordering.
Design, Installation & Code Planning
Why Choose Horizontal Stainless-Steel Bar Infill?
-
Clean architectural lines
Rigid horizontal bars create a precise, minimalist look suited to contemporary residential and commercial spaces. -
Coordinated stainless-steel construction
Satin 316 stainless steel provides a durable finish for demanding environments when properly selected and maintained. -
Modular installation
Posts, bars, holders, stair connectors, and handrail components can be planned as one complete system.
Plan the Complete Assembly
- Measure each level run, corner, transition, and stair section.
- Determine post height and the required end and middle post positions.
- Confirm horizontal bar quantity, spacing, cut lengths, and stair angles.
- Select compatible holders, pivot connectors, handrail parts, and structural fasteners.
- Verify the supporting structure, attachment method, opening limitations, load requirements, and all applicable local building-code requirements before fabrication or installation.
Horizontal Railing Requirements Vary
Do not assume a horizontal infill arrangement is permitted for every project. Requirements can vary by location, occupancy, height above grade, stair geometry, and the code edition adopted by the local authority. The complete installed guard—including post spacing, openings, infill strength, handrail provisions, and structural attachment—should be reviewed with the local building official or a qualified design professional.
For material information, see Stainless Steel 304, 316, and 316L. If a different infill style better suits the project, compare our Cable Railing and Glass Railing collections.
