The Domus GTA-222 is a cast post a bare column for mounting apost-top lantern, 290mm square at the base. Five powder-coated colours.

This item is made to order

Domus builds this to order and asks for up to 10 business days for production before itships. Order posts and lanterns together the powder coat is applied to order, soseparate orders are separate batches.

Its title and its height field disagree by 80 mm

• 80mm apart, inside one listing.
• And this is the only cast post that records a height at all the 195cmand 157cm posts record nothing but a warranty, so their heights live only in their titles. So this is the one listing where the two sources can be compared, and they disagree.
• We cannot tell which is right, and both readings are plausible: 870mmcould be the column above ground with 950mm the overall casting including a buried spigot,or one figure could simply be wrong.
• It matters because a post is set in concrete. Ask us for the finishedabove-ground height before your concreter is on site it is a short question and it cannotbe corrected afterwards.

290 mm square a substantial base

• 290mm 290mm at the base, on a post under a metre tall.
• Which tells you what kind of post this is: a cast column with a proper spread at thefoot, not a slender tube. It is a period-style post, and it will read as a solid objectrather than a pole.
• Allow for the footprint. 290mm square is wider than the Vienna post’s164mm and wants a bed or verge that can take it.
• The base spread also does structural work a wide foot in concrete resiststhe leverage a lantern puts on a post better than a narrow one.

It is a post, not a light

• No lantern is included. This is the column only.
• You need a post-top lantern to go on it and possibly an adaptorbetween the two, since post-top spigots are not standardised.
• Three adaptors are made: 43mm, 50mm and 60mm (the GTA-140, 141 and142).
• This listing records no spigot diameter, so which adaptor or whether one isneeded at all cannot be worked out from the page. Tell us the lantern you want and wewill assemble the whole thing for you.

What else is not recorded

• No footing depth, no base plate detail, no fixing pattern, no wind rating the same gap that runs through every post in this catalogue.
• No cable entry detail. A cast post needs the cable brought up insideit, and how it enters at the base decides what the electrician has to do.
• Ask us before ordering all of this is short to confirm and expensive to getwrong once concrete is poured.

Where it works

• Garden beds and path edges, as a low period-style post.
• Under a Domus post-top lantern, matched in colour.
• Where a cast column suits the property better than a slim modern one.
• Not on a narrow border the base is 290mm square.
• Not ordered without confirming the finished height with us.

Questions

How tall is it, really?

The listing gives two answers and we would rather show you both than pick one. The title says 95cm 950mm and the height field says 870mm, which is 80mm apart inside a single listing. Both readings are plausible: 870mm could be the column above ground with 950mm the overall casting including a buried spigot, or one figure could simply be wrong. Since a post is set in concrete, ask us for the finished above-ground height before your concreter is on site; it cannot be corrected afterwards.

Does it come with a light?

No this is the column only. You will need a post-top lantern to go on it, and possibly an adaptor between the two, because post-top spigots are not standardised. Three adaptors are made, for 43mm, 50mm and 60mm columns. This listing records no spigot diameter, so which adaptor you need or whether you need one at all cannot be worked out from the page. Tell us the lantern you want and we will assemble the whole thing.

How much room does the base need?

290mm square, which is a substantial foot on a post under a metre tall. That tells you what kind of post this is: a cast column with a proper spread at the base, not a slender tube a period-style object rather than a pole. Allow for it on a narrow border, where the Vienna post at 164mm is far tighter. The wide foot does structural work too, resisting the leverage a lantern puts on a post better than a narrow one would.

What footing does it need?

Not recorded no depth, base plate detail, fixing pattern or wind rating, the same gap that runs through every post in this catalogue. There is also no cable entry detail, which matters on a cast post: the cable has to come up inside it, and how it enters at the base decides what your electrician has to do. Ask us before ordering all of this is short to confirm and expensive to get wrong once concrete is poured.

How long will it take to arrive?

Up to 10 business days for production. Domus builds it to order because the powder coat is applied in the colour you choose after ordering, which is why five colours are offered. Order the post and the lantern together separate orders are separate finish batches, and a colour difference between a post and the lantern sitting on it would be obvious.

Are there taller cast posts?

Yes a 157cm and a 195cm version. Worth knowing that neither of those records a height in a field at all; their heights appear only in their titles, so this listing is the only one of the three where the figures can be cross-checked. If you want a specific finished height, tell us and we will confirm the actual dimension rather than working from a title.

Will it match a Domus lantern in colour?

It uses the same five powder-coated finishes as the lanterns Beige, Black, Burgundy, Green and White. The finish is applied to order, so order the post and the lantern at the same time to get them from one batch. On a post and lantern assembly the join is at eye level or above, where a mismatch is visible.
