What is the diameter of a foot rail?
The diameter of a foot rail can vary depending on the specific style and material chosen. Here are some common diameters for foot rails:
-
Round Foot Rails:
- Round foot rails are often available in diameters ranging from 1.5 inches to 2 inches. The choice of diameter may depend on personal preference, as well as the comfort and grip it offers.
-
Square Foot Rails:
- Square foot rails are measured by the width of each side. Common sizes range from 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches to 2 inches by 2 inches.
-
Oval Foot Rails:
- Oval foot rails have different measurements for the width and height. For example, an oval foot rail might have dimensions like 2 inches by 1 inch.
-
Flat Foot Rails:
- Flat foot rails are wider in one dimension and thinner in the other. For example, a flat foot rail might have dimensions like 3 inches by 1 inch.
Keep in mind that these are common measurements, and specialty foot rails may have different diameters to suit specific design preferences or ergonomic considerations. When choosing a foot rail, consider factors like the size of the bar, the space available, and personal comfort preferences. Currently, 2" OD round tubing is by far the most common.
