For Ballet/Dance + Fitness
This item is for (one) Floor Stanchion (no barres are included). It is made of heavy gauge 3/16" steel and features a beautiful powder coated finish available in several colors.
This stanchion will accept 1.5" and 1.75" diameter barre material based on your selection above.
Stanchions may be placed anywhere along the barre length.
Barre sections may be joined together inside the stanchion collar for a continuous length look.
The number of stanchions required depends on the length of the barre system. We recommended 4’ stanchion spacing. (When barres meet in a corner take 1’ off each barre dimension so that the barres do not touch in the corner.)
Ballet barres are typically mounted at 42” top of barre height for ballet/dance and 36”-40” for barre fitness
Floor mounted barres must be mounted properly and secured into the sub-floor, so we strongly recommend you have a contractor or qualified installer do it. The hardware to mount the floor stanchions to the floor is not provided with your floor stanchions, because this will depend entirely on the type of flooring you have and the requirements to securely install it.
Each 6" x 6" floor stanchion base has (4) 1/2" diameter holes, so you will need to use 3/8" diameter anchors. When possible it is ideal to mount the floor stanchions to the sub-floor first then build the flooring around them.
Be sure to consider this height difference when specifying the base to top of barre height so that your barre will ultimately be at the height you desire. This is not always possible as most users do install the floor stanchions on top of their flooring.
