Specifications
A Polyurethane Recessed Panel Newel Post is a synthetic alternative to the traditional paneled wood post. Polyurethane newels look and feel much like wood, with crisp, clean lines and a warm feel. This porch newel post has a hollow pipe center that allows for our Newel Installation Kit which is very strong and completely hidden. All our Polyurethane products are factory primed and ready for installation and paint.
48″ High. Can be cut to desired length if needed. Cut poly newels just as you would cut wood. The top smooth square portion is 3 1/2″ high, and the bottom smooth square is 12″ high. It is preferable to cut any extra length off the bottom.
Plan Types:
In Line (straight) rail application. Has panels on 2 opposite sides, plain smooth on other 2 opposite sides
Corner rail application. Has panels on 2 adjacent sides, plain smooth on other 2 adjacent sides
End rail application. Has panels on 3 sides, plain smooth on 1 side.
There is a recess cut in the top to accept the installation hardware. Some installations will require cutting the top portion to length. If so, you’ll need to cut in a new recess for the hardware. This can be done on-site with a router, or with a chisel and oscillating cutting tool.
IF ORDERING BALLTOP FINIALS – order at least one size smaller than the newel post size. For example, the max balltop size for an 8″ newel is a 7″ balltop. Otherwise the balltop will not fit on the flat cap.
Porch newel posts are reinforced with an internal PVC pipe. They are structural for guardrail purposes, but also can be used as a decorative wrap around an existing structural member. Click the “Poly Newel Internal Pipe Sizes PDF” below for drawings showing the pipe sizes.
