This item is made to order

Up to 10 business days for production before it ships. Order the post, thelantern and any adaptor together the powder coat is applied to order.

The title is the entire specification

• This listing records one field: the warranty. No height, no basedimensions, no spigot diameter, nothing.
• So the 157cm exists only in the title, and it is the only measurement you have and on a post that is set in concrete, we would rather confirm it than have you work froma title.
• There is a specific reason to check. The 95cm cast post isthe only one of the three that records a height in a field, and its field and its title disagree by80mm. So a title height in this family has already been shown to beunreliable once.
• Ask us for the finished above-ground height before ordering. It is a short question,and it cannot be corrected once the concrete is poured.

1.57 m is the useful height for a post-top lantern

• At just over a metre and a half, a lantern on this post sits at or just above eyelevel high enough to light the ground properly, low enough not to dominate agarden.
• It is the middle of three cast posts: 95cm for beds and borders,157cm for paths and general garden use, 195cm for drives andentrances.
• Remember the lantern adds its own height. A Vienna post top is 490mm tall, sothis post plus that lantern is around 2m to the top which is worth working outbefore you choose the post, not after.

It is a post, not a light and you may need an adaptor

• No lantern is included.
• Post-top spigots are not standardised, so a lantern and a column do not necessarilymeet. Three adaptors are made 43mm, 50mm and 60mm (GTA-140,141 and 142).
• This listing records no spigot diameter, so which adaptor if any isneeded cannot be determined from the page. Nothing in the catalogue connects the posts, thelanterns and the adaptors to one another.
• Tell us the lantern you want and we will specify the whole assembly and confirm itwith Domus before anything is made.

And no footing or cable detail

No footing depth, base plate size, fixing pattern, wind rating or cable entry detailis recorded. A cast post takes its cable up inside, and how it enters at the base decideswhat your electrician has to do. Settle both with us before the concreter is on site.

Where it works

• Paths, drives and general garden use the middle of the three heights.
• Under a Domus post-top lantern, matched in colour.
• Period and traditional properties, where a cast column suits.
• Not without confirming the finished height and the spigot with us first.

Questions

How tall is it?

157cm according to the title, which is the only measurement this listing carries it records exactly one field, the warranty. There is a specific reason to check rather than assume: the 95cm cast post is the only one of the three that records a height in a field, and its field and its title disagree by 80mm. So a title height in this family has already proved unreliable once. On something set in concrete, ask us to confirm the finished above-ground height before ordering.

Is 1.57m a good height?

It is the useful one for a post-top lantern. At just over a metre and a half the lantern sits at or just above eye level high enough to light the ground properly, low enough not to dominate a garden. It is the middle of three cast posts: 95cm for beds and borders, this for paths and general garden use, and 195cm for drives and entrances. Remember the lantern adds its own height: a Vienna post top is 490mm, so this plus that is around 2m to the top.

Does it come with a light?

No this is the column only, and you will need a post-top lantern to go on it. You may also need an adaptor between the two, because post-top spigots are not standardised and a lantern and a column do not necessarily meet. Three adaptors are made, for 43mm, 50mm and 60mm. This listing records no spigot diameter, so which one you need cannot be determined from the page. Tell us the lantern you want and we will specify the whole assembly.

What footing does it need?

Not recorded no depth, base plate size, fixing pattern, wind rating or cable entry detail. The cable entry matters particularly on a cast post: the cable comes up inside it, and how it enters at the base decides what your electrician has to do. Settle both with us before the concreter is on site; neither is difficult to confirm and both are expensive to discover late.

Which cast post should I choose?

By what you are lighting. The 95cm suits beds and borders where you look down onto the lantern. This 157cm is the general-purpose one for paths and gardens. The 195cm suits drives and entrances where you want throw and presence. Work out the finished height including the lantern before choosing the lantern can add half a metre, which changes the answer.

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 your chosen colour after ordering, which is why five colours are offered rather than one stocked finish. Order the post, the lantern and any adaptor together separate orders are separate finish batches, and on an assembly where the parts meet at eye level a colour difference shows.

Will it match a Domus lantern?

In colour, yes the same five powder-coated finishes are used across the lanterns and the posts. Mechanically, that is the open question, because no spigot diameter is recorded here and no post-top lantern records one either. Nothing in the catalogue connects the posts, the lanterns and the adaptors to one another, so tell us all three and we will confirm the assembly with Domus before anything is made.
