    Thank you for your inquiry, Handrail. The Home Depot has available in their aisles, a cut-cart that allows shoppers to cut their moulding to length needed. You may be able to use that for this Pine Wood Handrail. Please speak to a home depot Associate for more assistance.

        What is a purpose of little 3 grooves on the bottom running along the rail? They are unsymmetric meaning grooves on the half of the rail and the other half is plain or flat. Does it matter with which side it should be close to wall?

        Answer This Question

        No purpose, probably part of the milling (creation) process. When I installed handrails of this type in my rental properties, I would use a bracket at least every three feet to insure there is adequate strength wherever you grab it. Of course, check with your state and local building codes to insure you comply with them in your area.

        By|May 8, 2021

        Hello Mike, thank you for your inquiry. I believe you are inquiring about small grooves along the bottom of the handrail. These markings typically identify the manufacturer, but do not affect the use of the moulding. It does not matter which side is closer to the wall when you install the railing. I hope this information helps you in the completion of your handrail project.

          Can I use this as a ballet barre?

          Answer This Question

          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.

          By|Dec 11, 2020

            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.

            By|Dec 11, 2020

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

            By|Jun 10, 2021

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

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

                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.

                I would suggest checking Home Depot website.

                  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.

                  By|Aug 4, 2020

                  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.

                    Anyone know if they sell end caps for these anywhere or what they are called? Thanks

                    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

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

                      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.

                        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.

                          I was making a hand rail for the stairs going to my basement. Once determined the main length I made two cuts at 22.5 degrees and cut the end pieces to 22.5 and 45 degrees to make the rail reach the wall at the two ends. The bar was reasonably straight but my wall was not so(:-() and I had to adjust the ends (I should have installed the main portion of the bar and verified the lengths of the end pieces before cutting them. Fortunately I had enough bar left to correct the problem and the result was quite good. Had the rail been for going to the rooms upstairs I would have chosen an oak bar, but for its intended use pine wood was enough and once stained with cherry tone it provides a good look. P.S.: I joined the end pieces to the main bar with two 5/16 x 1" dowel pins at each side. The flat bottom of the bar was handy as a reference to align cuts and pieces as well as to install the wall attachments.

                          Warped
                          Ordered 2, which had to be shipped to the store. They arrived in a box . One was straight as an arrow and the other was warped more than 1 inch right in the middle of the piece. No way this happened in transit. Instead of jamming product in boxes, maybe Q/A things first. Good thing I only need about 3 feet of the warped piece for this project; as a whole piece, this is unusable, and I'd have to wait another five days because something as simple as a handrail isn't carried in the store.
