— Why a raked panel matters —

Most balustrades are built level.
Real homes aren't.

Almost every balustrade sold online is built flat. The moment your stairs or ramp need one, the options narrow quickly — and most are designed to be adapted on site rather than made to fit.

We made the Raked Series so the panel arrives ready for the pitch you actually have. Every panel is welded to the exact angle of your staircase or ramp — uprights perfectly plumb, top and bottom rails on pitch, the whole thing fabricated as one piece and finished before it leaves our floor. Order online from anywhere in Australia.

— Engineered for the stairs —

Built right, the way stairs deserve.

Three things separate a real raked balustrade from a flat-pack adaptation.

01

Plumb uprights, raked rails

The uprights stand truly vertical — not perpendicular to the rake. The top and bottom rails follow the pitch of the stair or ramp in perfect parallel. It's the way a raked balustrade has always been done well. We just do it precisely, every time.

02

Welded, never flat-pack

Every panel is welded, never flat-pack — every upright joined to every rail in our Tamworth workshop. No brackets. No screws hiding the joins. No flex you can feel when you lean on it. The whole panel arrives on site as one rigid piece, ready to fix to posts.

03

Finished for the long view

Australian structural steel under a Four-Stage Bonded Powder Coat — pretreatment, primer, topcoat, bonded under heat. Twenty-six colours to choose from. A finish engineered to age slowly and evenly, and to stay protected against flaking, chalking and rust well past the decade mark.

— A raked panel, in situ —

Made to your pitch.

— Every Mason & Dean balustrade, available raked —

Pick the design.
We'll rake it to your stair.

Every balustrade in the Mason & Dean range can be ordered as a raked panel — welded to the exact pitch of your stair or ramp, finished in any of our 26 powder coat colours, shipped Australia-wide. Same design language as the flat panel on your level runs, so the whole balustrade reads as one continuous line.

— An informed choice —

Steel or aluminium?
The honest comparison.

Both materials have a place. Here's a clear, side-by-side look at how a welded steel raked panel from Mason & Dean compares with a typical aluminium raked kit — so you can pick the one that's right for your home.

  Mason & Dean Raked Steel Typical Aluminium Raked Kit
Material Australian structural steel under a Four-Stage Bonded Powder Coat. Solid through the hand, rigid under load. Extruded aluminium. Lighter, easier to handle, naturally corrosion-resistant.
Construction Welded as one piece in our Tamworth workshop. No brackets, no site-assembly joins — arrives ready to fix. Modular kit. Components assembled on site with brackets and fixings.
Pitch & fit Made to the exact pitch of your stair or ramp. The panel matches the angle you have. Typically supplied at a small number of fixed angles. Adapted on site to suit your pitch.
Finish Four-Stage Bonded Powder Coat — pretreatment, primer, topcoat, bonded under heat. Engineered for long colour and weather hold. Powder coat applied directly to aluminium. Coating life varies by brand and exposure.
Colour range 26 powder coat colours including the full Colorbond palette — matched to the rest of your home. Most kits ship in a small stock palette — commonly black, white and a grey or two.
Origin Designed, welded, and powder-coated in Tamworth, NSW. Often manufactured offshore and distributed locally.
Warranty Backed by a 10-year Mason & Dean warranty. Coating warranties typically run shorter and vary by supplier.
Presence on the eye Reads as architectural steelwork — weight, line and shadow. Reads as a lighter, more utilitarian system.
Guidance & support Speak directly with the team that designs and builds it. Real answers on rake, spec and install — not a script. Typically routed through distributor sales channels.

— How it works —

Three measurements.
One quote. Every panel made to fit.

We don't site-measure — and you don't need us to. The process is simple, honest, and fast.

Step 01 · You

Send us your numbers

Rake angle (the pitch of your stair or ramp — any angle, we build to it), rake length (measured along the diagonal, not the floor), and panel height — 940mm minimum, the standard for code-compliant balustrades. One side-on photo of the stair or ramp helps a lot.

Step 02 · Us

Fixed quote, fast

We come back to you with a fixed price, indicative lead time, and the freight cost to your postcode. Usually within a few business days — depending on workshop load. The quote is valid for 30 days, so you've got time to think it over.

Step 03 · Workshop

Built in Tamworth

This is where it stops being a drawing and starts being a balustrade. Australian steel is cut to your exact rake, uprights set plumb, welded to the rails as one piece, welds dressed back by hand. Then through our Four-Stage Bonded Powder Coat process in your chosen colour — and checked against spec before it leaves the floor.

Step 04 · Delivered

Packed & shipped

Carefully packed and protected for transit, then shipped Australia-wide on freight you can track. Standard install hardware is included with every panel.

— What you receive —

Everything to fit it,
nothing you don't need.

Every Raked order is configured as a complete set — no surprises on site, no missing parts.

Welded raked panels

Every panel in your run is welded as one piece and powder-coated to your exact rake and length.

Fixings & brackets

All bolts, brackets and panel-to-post hardware supplied with every order. Standard surface-mount fixings included; core-mount available on request.

Matching posts Optional extra

Posts aren't included as standard — many jobs already have posts in place. If you need them, we'll quote matching steel posts in the same finish, with baseplates and snap caps.

— Made in Tamworth —

Australian steel.
Australian hands. Australian guarantee.

Mason & Dean is built around one workshop in Tamworth, NSW. Every Raked panel is cut, welded, finished and signed off here. When you call (02) 6762 5249, you'll reach the team that designed, engineered and proved every product in our range — the people who can tell you which design suits your stair or ramp, what the panel will look like in your colour, and exactly how it'll fit your build.

That's how we can stand behind every panel for ten years. We designed it, we built it, and we know exactly how it was made.

No middlemen. No imported kits. No call centres.

— The answers —

Everything you might be wondering.

If your question isn't here, call us on (02) 6762 5249 — we'll answer it on the spot.

What rake angles can you build?

Any angle — that's the whole point of a welded raked panel. Whatever the pitch of your staircase or ramp, we build the panel to it. You give us the rise and going (or the pitch directly), we draw it, you sign it off, and the panel is welded to match. No fixed-angle limits, no shims, no adapters.

I don't know my pitch. How do I work it out?

For a staircase, measure the rise (height of one step) and the going (depth of one tread), then either tell your builder or use any free online stair calculator — pop in the two numbers and it gives you your pitch. For a ramp, measure the total rise (height climbed) and the total run (horizontal length) and a calculator will return the same. Whatever number you land on, that's what we'll build the panel to.

What's the lead time?

Typically 3 — 4 weeks from sign-off, depending on workshop load and the powder coat colour. We'll give you a clear lead-time window with your quote, and we don't quote a window we can't hold.

Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes. Panels are packed flat and freighted via our nationwide carrier network. Freight is quoted to your specific postcode — you'll see the cost before you commit. Most metro deliveries land within 5 — 8 working days from dispatch.

Can I install it myself?

Any competent person can install a Mason & Dean raked balustrade. The panel arrives as one welded piece, so the site work is fixing posts and bolting the panel to them. For staircase compliance you should always consult your local building rules and, where required, a licensed installer.

Can the raked panel match my existing flat balustrade?

Yes — every Mason & Dean balustrade design is available as a raked panel. Same uprights, same rails, same finish, just raked to your stair pitch.

What colours are available?

All 26 Mason & Dean powder coat colours — including Pearl White, Night Sky, Monument, Woodland Grey, Surfmist, Basalt, Dune, Windspray, Shale Grey, Jasper and the full Colorbond-style range. The colour you choose is included in the price.

How is it paid for?

A 30% deposit is taken on acceptance of your quote — this locks your spot in the workshop and lets us order steel. The remaining 70% is paid in full before the panel is dispatched on freight. Pay by card or bank transfer.
