WM 231 1-1/2 in. x 1-11/16 in. x 96 in. Pine Handrail

A:  Hello Dance, thank you for your inquiry. Ballet barres are often round pieces of material that are 1-1/2" to 2" in diameter. Please be aware that this item does have a flat bottom and may not fit into standard ballet barre brackets. We hope this information helps in the planning of your current project. Thank you.

A:  I looked at a picture of a ballet barre on line, and I don’t see why not. The rail is strong and looks like about the same diameter as a ballet barre.

A:  Yes, I am sure you can. We used ours for our stairs.

A:  Yes, you will need to mount the rail to the wall with long brackets onto the wall studs.

A:  Absolutely!

A:  If not, you can order it online. Probably a safer bet with all this Covid Chinese Flu nonsense going on.

A:  CALL THE STORE for that information or select that store on the website and it will say whether that store has any in stock or needs to be special ordered.

A:  I would suggest checking Home Depot website.

A:  I have not found that length when I needed it. It is possible to get longer lengths by joining a 96" with a 48" length. A dowel kit is available to do this. A 5/16" center hole is marked and drilled out for a glued-in dowel(s) which join the 2 lengths again by gluing. 2 or more dowels might be needed for support.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. If you would like to know the availability of this item, we recommend calling your local Home Depot to see if they have it or if they can order one for you. We hope this helps.

A:  I have never seen end caps for these. They are not sold primarily for hand-rail applications so that might explain no end caps as are found for much larger hardwood hand-rails. When I use them for a hand-rail I saw the end vertically and sand the sharp edge smooth. JG

A:  Measure and cut 2 short piece at a 45 degree angle then glue it to ends. Makes a great end.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry Phil. Unfortunately, end caps are not available for this item.

A:  1-1/2 In. diameter PVC round table leg caps. I warmed them up to make them pliable. Even then it requires some finesse to fit them, but that's what you want because when they cool & harden they are staying put. Cellar = more functional than beautiful.

A:  I have never found an endcap.

A:  I haven't seen any end caps being sold for this handrail. If you do a good job sanding the entire handrail as well as the ends (which you really need to do anyway) you should have no need for an end cap.
