    No, they do small stands to. Talk to them, they'll have what you need.

    Strange. Id say your better off hiring a stand for the event.

    A t-bar would have to safely lock onto existing stand which can be tricky. Then unless its round your into specific clamps. Most clamps are designed to be safely used with round bars.

    How heavy are the fixtures?

    Got it sorted, and cheap at the price too! I was looking on the internet for a specific "tee-piece" and came across a company in coolock that do stainless steel hand-rails. The do a tee-piece for joining 2 handrails together onto an upright section that fits 35mm poles like a glove, €8.90 each! just drilled a couple of holes to stop the bars sliding and there you go, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all the advice lads.
