Peñalara Baluster 85 cm - Safety Height for Pool and Terrace Railings
Peñalara 85 cm Baluster: What It Is
It is the tallest piece in the Peñalara collection: a concrete baluster measuring 13 × 13 × 85 cm that lets the balustrade reach, in a single piece, the height required for a terrace, balcony or pool enclosure. It avoids the makeshift fix of building a base wall to gain extra centimeters, which is what usually ends up happening when the baluster falls short.
✅ Main advantages
85 cm in a single piece: no raising wall or intermediate joints that crack later on.
16 kg per unit: weight that gives the section stability without needing lifting equipment.
13 × 13 cm section: shares the same base size as the other heights in the collection, so it uses the same cap and the same shim.
Turned Ø 12.8 cm profile: pronounced belly, classic line and a generous gap between pieces.
Indoor and outdoor: equally suitable for an interior staircase or an enclosure exposed to the weather.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Public and private pool enclosures.
Terrace, balcony and rooftop fences.
Exterior and interior staircase railings.
Plot enclosures on masonry walls.

🧰 Installation
Check that the supporting wall or tie beam is level and clean.
Set out the spacing between centers from end to end and mark each point before drilling.
Place the galvanized dowel at each mark; at a height of 85 cm the dowel is essential, not optional.
Seat the baluster on a bed of bonding mortar, guiding the dowel into the lower hole.
Plumb piece by piece and check the alignment of the run with a string line before the mortar sets.
Fit the top cap, which is what ties the whole assembly together, and point the joints at the end.
📦 Available formats

💡 Professional tip: for a pool enclosure, the height that counts is that of the finished assembly measured from the walkable floor, not the height of the baluster. Measure from the finished slab, not from the tie beam: between paving, bedding mortar and cap, 8 or 10 cm can easily be lost, and that difference is what decides whether the fence complies or has to be redone.
