How Many Balusters Come in a Bundle?
It depends on the style. As a rough guide, a box holds about 15 plain bars, about 10 knuckle or basket balusters, or about 5 scroll balusters. But you don’t need to order by the box. Just order the exact number of balusters your stairs need. Bigger orders, over about 150 pounds, ship on a pallet.
Rough Box Counts by Style
| Style | About per box |
|---|---|
| Plain bars | 15 |
| Knuckles | 10 |
| Baskets | 10 |
| Scrolls | 5 |
Counts vary by style, so treat these as a rough guide only.
How Many Balusters Do You Need?
Plan on about 3 balusters per tread on stairs and 3 per foot on balconies and landings, then add about 5% extra for mistakes. A typical 13-step staircase takes about 39. See the baluster spacing guide to get your exact count.
How Big Orders Ship
Orders over about 150 pounds ship on a pallet. Orders over $750 ship free to the lower 48 states, except items 8 feet and longer, which add an extended length fee. See our coupons and shipping details.
