Outdoor Spindles and Balusters
Enhance your garden with our premium range of outdoor spindles and balusters, designed to create safe, stylish perimeters for decks and patios. Crafted for durability and ease of installation, these outdoor wooden spindles and metal options integrate seamlessly with rail and newel systems to complete your outdoor living space.
Outdoor spindles and balusters are the essential vertical components installed between the top and bottom rails and are supported by newel posts. Outdoor spindles provide both structural safety and aesthetic character to your balustrade. Whether you are defining a raised patio or securing a balcony, our outdoor spindles for deck projects are engineered to withstand the elements while providing a polished finish.

Spindles and Balusters FAQs
Are outdoor spindles structural or decorative?
They serve both a structural and decorative function within a balustrade system. Outdoor spindles form a protective barrier that contributes to the design of the space.
Are spindles suitable for both flat and sloped decking?
Yes, spindles can be used in both flat and sloped settings, though angled cuts or adjustments may be required.
Can I mix different spindle styles in one balustrade?
Yes, but we recommend sticking to one so that you can achieve a clean and cohesive balustrade.
Do I need to treat timber spindles before installing them?
A lot of our timber spindles come pre-treated for outdoor use, with additional treatments such as paints or preservatives extending their lifespan.
What spacing should I use for outdoor spindles?
Spacing between spindles should meet UK safety guidelines to prevent someone from falling through. Gaps should be small enough to restrict the passage of a 100mm sphere.
