Balusters, Pickets & Spindles – Collection FAQs

1. What are balusters, pickets, and spindles used for?
These components form the vertical supports in stair railings, balconies, decks, fences, and architectural rail systems. They provide safety, structure, and visual style for both interior and exterior builds.

2. How are your balusters different from standard hardware-store railing parts?
Old West Iron balusters and pickets are made from thicker solid or heavy-wall steel, not thin hollow tubing. Many pieces feature hand-forged textures, hammered details, and authentic Old World styling—offering far greater durability and craftsmanship than mass-produced imports.

3. How do I choose the right style or size for my project?
Match the baluster height to your railing system—standard stair and balcony rails have common height requirements. Choose thicker or more decorative styles for grand staircases or outdoor railings, and simpler profiles for minimalist or interior designs.

4. What finishes and textures are available?
Balusters and spindles come in matte black, natural iron, oil-rubbed bronze, and hand-distressed finishes. Hammered, peened, twisted, and rustic textures are applied in-house to coordinate with our handrails, brackets, and architectural ironwork.

5. Are these balusters and pickets hand-forged?
Many styles—especially hammered, twisted, or decorative versions—are hand-forged or hand-textured by our American blacksmiths. Straight and structural components are precision-formed, then finished by hand for authentic wrought-iron character.

6. What are the lead times and where are they made?
Most balusters and spindles ship within 1–10 business days, depending on style and finish. All decorative and custom-finished pieces are made or finished in the USA at our Idaho forge.
