Extruded Aluminium Box Rail
This extruded 6063 T6 aluminium rail has been designed and developed by Wallbarn for construction of heavy duty paving or decking applications. These profiled rails are designed to connect seamlessly to our Mega Balance, Joist Holder & MetalPad Ex pedestals.

Connections
There are a range of brackets designed for use with our aluminium Box Rail. These options include:
- M8 Wing Nut Kit – Used to secure the aluminium Box Rail to the MetalPad Ex Pedestal.
- Steel Straight and Right Angle Brackets – Used to secure the aluminium Box Rail where they meet end to end or at right angles to each other.
- Class A Decking Clip – Suitable for most central milled decking boards including Exadeck Porcelain Decking & our Fibre Cement Decking options.
- Class A Rail to Rail Headpiece – This headpiece allows stacking of Wallbarn’s aluminium rails/joists on top and perpendicular to each other. This can be used to help work with difficult sub floors that have varying height levels or to create large height thresholds.
