Fortress Railing Balusters
Fortress steel balusters in the Vienna, Vintage and Mega series, galvanized and powder coated, for builders and homeowners adding metal balusters to wood or composite deck railing.
About Balusters
Swapping wood balusters for metal is one of the simplest ways to update a deck railing, and Fortress steel balusters are made for it. They are 100% galvanized steel with a powder coat, third-party tested, and work with wood, composite, vinyl or Fortress metal posts. Colors are Gloss Black, Black Sand, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Bronze and Rust.
Styles cover square, round, basket and twist designs. Face-mount options are Vintage Square at 31 and 42 inches, plus Vienna Belly and Vienna Bow at 31 inches. Surface-mount options are Vintage Round and Mega Square, each at 26 and 32 inches. Mounting hardware includes EZ Mount level and stair connectors in bags of 20, nylon shoes, MEGA EZ Mount and MEGA Shoe, and level, stair and 45 degree nylon brackets for 2 x 4 rails.
Fortress offers 15-year and 25-year FortressShield warranties depending on product. For a quote, send the style, color, height, mount type, baluster count or linear feet, and how many are level versus stair.
