Floor-Standing St. Andrew's Cross with Metal X-Frame
A heavy freestanding metal St. Andrew's Cross, no wall needed
If you want a metal St. Andrew's Cross that stands on its own instead of bolting to a wall, this welded X-frame is that piece. It balances on a wide stabilized base, weighs 29.5 kg for studio-grade rigidity, and carries four reinforced anchor points for standing spread-eagle restraint. No drilling, no wall structure required. Built for committed practitioners, private collectors, renters, and studio operators.
Welded metal X-frame on a wide stabilized base
What a freestanding metal St. Andrew's Cross is and who it is for
A St. Andrew's Cross is an X-shaped restraint frame that holds a consenting adult in a standing, spread-eagle position for restraint, positioning, and impact play. Also called a Saint Andrew's Cross or BDSM cross. This model is the freestanding metal version: a welded X-frame on a wide stabilized base with four reinforced anchor points, so it stands anywhere in the room with no wall fixing and ties into a structured restraint and frame setup.
The reason to choose a freestanding metal cross is placement without permanence. Because it balances on its own base rather than bolting to a wall, it suits renters, mobile dungeons, and anyone who cannot drill into structural walls, while a 29.5 kg welded frame stays planted through a session. Powder-coated steel wipes down fast and resists the wear that shows on wood. Our BDSM cross guide walks through the frame types and how they differ.
It is built for buyers who want metal rigidity without wall work: studio operators, private collectors, and renters. It is not the pick for tight floor plans, since the wide base needs roughly a metre of clearance, or for anyone who specifically wants a slim wall-flush profile.
Key features
- Welded metal X-frame: a rigid, powder-coated steel cross built for stability under sustained restraint load.
- Wide stabilized base: a freestanding footprint that balances the cross without any wall or ceiling fixing.
- Planted 29.5 kg weight: a heavy frame that stays put through a session rather than shifting or tipping.
- Four reinforced anchor points: positioned for standard standing spread-eagle restraint at the wrists and ankles.
- Restraint hardware compatible: the anchor points accept cuffs, straps, clips, and chain for structured restraint.
Why metal and freestanding over a wall-mount cross
The reason to choose this frame comes down to rigidity without wall work. It is welded metal, so it wipes clean fast and resists wear, and it stands on a wide stabilized base rather than bolting to studs, so you can place it in a rented or mobile space without drilling. The 29.5 kg weight is what keeps a freestanding cross planted.
A wall-mount cross is the alternative if you own the space and want a slim, wall-flush profile that frees the floor. This freestanding model trades that flush profile for placement freedom and a base you can reposition, and both hold the same standing spread-eagle position.
How the cross is used and secured
In use, the cross holds a standing, spread-eagle position at full body height once the base is set on a firm, level floor. The four reinforced anchor points carry the wrists and ankles and accept cuffs, straps, clips, and chain, so the same frame integrates with the structured restraint hardware you already run.
Plan for the base before it arrives: the cross measures 202 cm high by 100 cm wide with an 87 cm base depth (79.5 by 39.4 by 34.3 inches), so it wants a clear floor area near a metre across. If you are mapping the room, our dungeon design guide covers clearance and layout, and our dungeon equipment collection covers what fills the rest of the space.

How this freestanding metal cross compares to a wall-mount cross
Choosing between a freestanding and a wall-mount metal cross comes down to placement and floor space, not the position they hold. Both secure the same standing spread-eagle; our wall-mount metal X-frame cross is the slim, wall-flush alternative in the same range.
| Decision factor | This freestanding cross | Wall-mount metal cross |
|---|---|---|
| Install | No drilling, stands on its base | Bolts to studs or masonry |
| Floor space | Needs a wide clear footprint | Almost none, sits flush |
| Suits renters | Yes, nothing to fix to the wall | No, needs permanent anchors |
| Weight | Heavy 29.5 kg, planted | Lighter, carried by the wall |
If you rent or want to reposition the cross, the freestanding model earns its place. If you own the space and want to keep the floor clear, a wall-mount cross is the better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Metal St. Andrew's Cross
What is a St. Andrew's Cross?
A St. Andrew's Cross is an X-shaped restraint frame that holds a consenting adult in a standing, spread-eagle position for restraint and impact play. Also called a Saint Andrew's Cross or BDSM cross. This model is the freestanding metal version, a welded X-frame on a wide stabilized base with four reinforced anchor points for the wrists and ankles.
Why choose a metal St. Andrew's Cross?
A metal cross gives a rigid welded frame and a powder-coated surface that wipes down fast and resists the wear that shows on wood, which suits industrial dungeon design and higher-turnover studios. This model adds a freestanding base, so you get metal rigidity without drilling into a wall. A wooden cross is the warmer alternative.
Is this cross freestanding or does it need wall mounting?
It is fully freestanding. The welded frame balances on a wide stabilized base and needs no wall or ceiling fixing, which suits renters and mobile studios. At 29.5 kg it is heavy and planted rather than truly portable, so plan to set it in place and move it only with help. Use a firm, level floor.
What are the dimensions of this St. Andrew's Cross?
The cross measures 202 cm high by 100 cm wide with an 87 cm base depth (79.5 by 39.4 by 34.3 inches). Net weight is 29.5 kg (65 lb). The wide base needs roughly a metre of clear floor in each direction, so confirm your floor area and ceiling height before ordering.
What is a St. Andrew's Cross used for?
It positions and restrains a standing partner so their wrists and ankles are secured to the four anchor points, leaving the body open and supported. Committed practitioners use it for restraint, sensory play, and impact play. The heavy freestanding base holds the pose without any wall or ceiling attachment.
How much weight can a St. Andrew's Cross hold?
This welded metal model is engineered to support the sustained adult dynamic load of consensual restraint sessions. Always review the manufacturer-specified weight capacity and load rating before use, inspect the welds and anchor points before each session, and confirm the base sits level and stable on the floor.
How do you clean a metal St. Andrew's Cross?
Wipe the metal surfaces with a damp cloth and mild cleaner between uses. Inspect the base hardware, welds, and connection points periodically and tighten any hardware. Keep the frame away from prolonged moisture to preserve the powder-coat finish. For studio use, disinfect any contact zones with an appropriate adult-toy-safe cleaner.
Not sure this cross fits your floor plan?
That is what our team is here for. We help buyers confirm floor clearance and base stability, match the cross to their existing restraint hardware, and plan a multi-piece installation before they order.
