Stainless Steel brackets would be the best choice for Hot Yoga studio as they are extremely strong and weather and rust-resistant, meaning it will not corrode as quickly as the steel due to water and exposure to high temperature. When exposed to heat Stainless Steel would be cooler in temperature than the steel brackets. It is ideal for Hot Yoga Studios, Spas and Physical Therapy.

Spacing of the brackets depends on the main use of the barre. For BALLET we recommend spacing the brackets 48"-64" apart, and for FITNESS spacing brackets 32"-48" apart. (Exception: Core brackets require 32" to maximum of 36" spacing). For Barres over 8', a bracket must fall on the joint where barre sections connect.

IMPORTANT! If manufacturer guidelines are not followed the warranty would be voided.

Both brackets are well secured into the wood barre by 2 wood screws under the saddle. Open saddle will give you the ability to stretch beyond the bracket location without having the bracket in the way, which is a really nice feature, especially for Ballet. The closed saddle provide you with slightly more support and hide the seam between 2 barre sections. Both options are perfectly suited for Barre fitness and/or Ballet.

Standard Height for Ballet: 40"-42" high (measured from floor to center of barre).
Standard Height for Barre Fitness: 36"-38" high (measured from floor to center of barre).

Stainless Steel Brackets - (Material - Stainless steel) The Stainless Steel is a premium material. All of Custom Barres’s brackets are available in a 304 grade stainless steel in a brushed #4 finish. It is extremely strong and weather and rust-resistant, meaning it will not corrode as quickly as the steel due to water exposure. It is ideal for Hot Yoga Studios, Spas and Physical Therapy.

Powder Coated Brackets - (Material - Steel) Powder coats are tough, abrasion resistant finishes we apply onto the raw steel. If paint is scratched off due to damage, that spot will rust when exposed to the elements. It is not a suggested material in outdoor locations, or indoor pool/spa areas because of this natural tendency. But since most dance/fitness studios are indoor and are not exposed to extreme temperatures and water, this should not cause a problem. Powder Coatings are more affordable and available in many beautiful colors. Special colors can be quoted upon request.

Custom Barres carry only top quality hard wood, so it really depends on your budget and the look you are looking for.
Unfinished Ash: $ (good) Medium grain and color

Wipe the barres with baby wipes/antibacterial regularly. These wipes are just as effective on sticky barres as they are on children. If the baby wipes have not removed all the sticky residue. Mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle, shake gently. Spray the cleaning solution directly onto the barre and wipe with a cleaning rag. Repeat as necessary until all residue has been removed. Wipe the barres clean with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue or vinegar solution.

Yes! All non-connecting ends will come beveled unless instructed otherwise. The beveled end creates a smooth slightly rounded finish to prevent rough edges.
Barres over 8' in length will come pre-drilled where barre sections join to create a stronger connection.
If you prefer the wood not beveled and/or not pre-drilled please make sure to indicate this on the special notes at checkout.

If you have metal studs, we strongly recommend installing backboard support.
If installing backboard support is not an option for metal studs or if you are installing on a concrete wall, you would need to purchase special hardware to install the ballet barre brackets. Make sure to upgrade your hardware to our specialty Toggle Bolts for metal stud/hollow cinder block or Concrete Anchors for solid cement/solid cinder block.
All brackets include hardware for installing on wood studs/ wood blocking or wood floor.

On average, when your barre and brackets are installed as recommended, they can support 100 lbs of pressure per linear foot. In other words, the ballet barre will sufficiently support an average amount of pressure from the average weight person using an average of 2-3 ft of barre.
The closer you space the brackets together, the stronger the support. Therefore, for fitness (which uses more than average pressure) the ideal spacing is 36” apart (and no further than 48” apart) and for ballet the ideal spacing is 42” apart (and no further than 64” apart).
