How to Choose Your Bench Bar

🧭 How to Choose Your Bench Bar

Follow these three quick steps to make sure your Bench Bar fits perfectly and looks like it was made for your space — because it was.


🧩 Step 1: Identify Your Balustrade Style

This step tells us which attachment style suits your top rail.

Balustrade Type Choose This Attachment
✅ Glass Panels Colin or Campbell attachment
✅ Square Aluminium or Tubular Balustrade Shane or Harlow attachment

👉 Tip: Not sure which one you have?
Simply email a photo to tommy@thebenchbar.com.au — we'll confirm it for you.


📏 Step 2: Measure the Top Rail

Measure the width or thickness of the top rail — this is the section the Bench Bar hooks over.

  • Ensures a snug and secure fit

  • Prevents movement or wobble

  • Gives that clean, custom-built look


📐 Step 3: Choose Your Bench Bar Length

Measure between your vertical posts (inside edge to inside edge).
Use the guide below to choose your ideal size:

Measurement Between Posts Recommended Bench Bar Length
