Lagan balcony railing- Fence post

The Lagan Fence Post is part of the Lagan fence model, don’t forget to order sections and accessories.

Lagan is a fence post made of maintenance-free aluminium. The fence post fits our fence section Lagan https://www.recalgarden.com/staketstolpar/staketsektion-lagan-klassisk/och you can easily assemble your fence for a balcony or patio with a fence section and fence post, post base and post cap or lintels that are purchased separately.

Adapted to meet the requirements set for fences around the pool area and higher fall height on balconies, this fence is classified as non-climbable. Therefore, the Lagan fence section is preferably installed around surfaces where there are requirements for fall height.

A balcony railing around the house or patio gives a classic and airy impression. Avoid maintenance and invest in a balcony railing that will last for a long time to come. Made in Sweden in our own factory in Värnamo, we can of course solve special measurements if needed, contact us for more information.
