Blakeney Countertop Post Support uses a 5 inch tall round steel tube to raise an elevated countertop or serving bar above the main counter, which creates a defined bar-height surface while preserving workspace below. The 2 inch by 4 inch post footprint works as a compact support zone, helping installers add structure without giving up much counter area. Thick 11 gauge steel material carries heavy loads, so granite, quartz, glass, and other engineered stone shelves can be supported with confidence on elevated runs. A single tapped 0.375 inch hole in the top plate provides a fixed fastening point, giving fabricators a defined connection location in the stone or shelf material. Rated 300 pounds capacity for each support, this post is suited to substantial stone bar sections where point loads and daily use are expected.
This Blakeney Countertop Post Support is designed to be mounted on the surface of a countertop, so the base sits directly on the main counter while the top plate supports the elevated shelf or bar. Countertop post supports are described as a specialty installation because professional pre-drilled holes in granite or other stone are required, which sets the fastening point through the tapped top plate. The recommendation to keep no more than 4 inches of unsupported countertop past each side of the bracket top plate guides overhang layout, which helps maintain strength at the stone edge. With this setup, installers can plan bar depth, post spacing, and drilling locations as a coordinated fabrication step.
The Blakeney Countertop Post Support is specified for elevated countertops and serving bars up to 12 inches in depth, which positions it as a solution for narrow bar tops running along an existing counter. When mounted on the surface of a countertop, the post raises a secondary surface above the working area, which helps create a distinct serving edge while leaving room for prep space below. The 300 pound capacity for each support gives fabricators flexibility to space posts under heavier stone, as each post carries a substantial share of the load. Designed to hold granite, quartz, and other stone materials, the support addresses installations where dense, thick tops are preferred instead of lighter substrates. The thick steel material supports the heaviest and thickest glass, granite, and engineered stone, which is useful in commercial or residential bars that see regular use. With a black finish, the post blends under clear glass or dark stone, allowing the elevated shelf to stand out visually while the structure stays in the background.
Countertop Post Supports like this Blakeney model are intended for specialty installation with pre-drilled holes in granite or other stone, so the tapped 0.375 inch hole in the top plate becomes the precise anchor point for the connection. This defined interface helps fabricators repeat hole placement across multiple supports, which keeps the elevated surface aligned and level along the run. The guidance to keep overhang to no more than 4 inches past each side of the bracket top plate directly informs bar design, helping limit stone leverage at the edge and contributing to long-term stability. A 5 inch height keeps the bar relatively low, which can reduce wobble compared to taller posts while still giving enough clearance for a functional ledge. The 2 inch by 4 inch footprint and round tube design create a compact, sturdy column, supporting heavy tops without consuming too much usable counter real estate at each support point. Together, these details help installers plan repeatable layouts that balance appearance with structural support for stone bar applications.
The Blakeney Countertop Post Support is designed for elevated countertops and serving bars up to 12 inches deep, so it suits raised bar ledges installed above an existing countertop surface.
The 300 pound capacity for each support lets designers use substantial granite, quartz, or other stone on elevated bars, allowing wider spacing while maintaining strength under point loads.
This support is considered a specialty installation because countertop post supports require professional pre-drilled holes in granite or other stone, aligning with the tapped 0.375 inch top plate connection.
The 5 inch height raises the shelf slightly above the main countertop, creating a modest bar-height ledge while keeping the elevation low for stability and easy reach across.
The recommendation for no more than 4 inches of unsupported countertop past each side of the top plate guides overhang sizing, helping limit leverage on the stone edge at each support.
The Blakeney Countertop Post Support is made for heavy materials such as the heaviest and thickest glass, granite, quartz, and engineered stone on elevated countertops.
The Blakeney Countertop Post Support combines a 5 inch tall round steel tube, 11 gauge construction, and a 300 pound capacity to handle demanding elevated countertop runs. Its design for surface mounting on countertops and use with pre-drilled stone aligns well with granite, quartz, glass, and engineered stone bar projects. The defined 0.375 inch tapped top plate hole and guidance on overhang simplify planning for fabricators setting up 12 inch deep serving bars. For elevated counter applications that need compact supports with substantial load capacity, this Federal Brace post support from Wurth Baer Supply offers a focused, job-ready option.
