Where can you find long galvanized threaded rods?

[star_daddy]

I built a large deck with a sturdy railing over twenty years ago. The railing on one short side is now noticeably leaning outward in the middle where the outermost floor joist has twisted. One solution is to put a sturdy threaded rod through the base of the railing post and pull it through two or three adjacent floor joists parallel to the outermost one. The railing's tilt can then be adjusted by using thick washers and nuts at each joist passing. But the center distance between each floor joist is about 1.35 m, and threaded rods are sold in one-meter lengths. They can be joined with coupling nuts, but without drawing it to scale, I already know that at least one such coupling nut will end up right in the middle of a joist (Murphy's law). Where can I find long galvanized threaded rods M24?

Thanks for the tip! I have bought machines from them but wasn't aware they had threaded rods in long lengths!

The problem is usually the shipping. Packages are, for example, a maximum of 1.5 m in length with Postnord. That's why they are mainly sold in 1-meter lengths. Otherwise, for example, Ahlsell offers 2-meter lengths if you have the opportunity to shop from there.

Maybe bus freight?

Hornbach sells 2-meter lengths, not sure if they have m24 specifically.

There are many options, but the common factor is that it becomes expensive and goes beyond the usual channels.

I don't know if it's still the case, but Conrad used to offer free shipping over 1000:- even on bulky items. It could be a particularly good deal if you need something delivered to your home.

Why not use coupling nuts and cut the possible threaded rod whose joint ends up in the middle of a stud?

It must be silent and I imagine it gets better the fewer seams there are...

All "serious" hardware stores and all equivalent stores for industry have channels to source such items, so the question is whether they are willing to make an effort and offer you a reasonable price, worth a try I think.

Some of them only deal with companies and you must have a customer number with them. And they are terribly expensive but large customers have at least a 50 percent discount of course...

Proffsmagasinet has 2 m lengths for 440 pesetas and 300 pesetas in shipping.

Maybe a mechanical workshop can bring it in through its channels, if you have one nearby to swing by.

If you don't need threads all the way, it's possible to thread the ends of a regular steel rod, isn't it?

Maybe a machine shop can order it through their channels if you have one nearby to drop by.

I used to work with many of those before, but none of the contacts I knew are left; now they are all completely unfamiliar companies again, even though you walk through the same familiar door and encounter the same worn-out doormat. The best of the best deflated completely when the boss retired, and now the building is deteriorating and there are fifteen rusty car wrecks in the backyard...
