Premium St. Andrew's Cross with Solid Metal Frame
A metal St. Andrew's Cross built to sit flush against a wall
If you want a St. Andrew's Cross with a welded steel frame and a slim, wall-flush profile instead of a bulky wooden A-frame, this is that cross. It stands 218 cm tall with four reinforced anchor points for standing spread-eagle restraint, and its flat 4 cm depth lets it mount close to a wall or stand within a dedicated play area. Built for committed practitioners, private collectors, and studio operators.

What a 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 a flat-profile welded metal version: four reinforced anchor points carry the wrists and ankles, and the slim frame is designed to mount against a wall or stand inside a dedicated restraint and frame setup.
The value of a metal cross over a wooden one is the profile and the upkeep. At roughly 4 cm deep the frame sits close to the wall and reads as architecture rather than furniture, and a powder-coated steel surface wipes down quickly between sessions, which matters in a working studio. The trade-off is aesthetic: metal suits industrial dungeon design, while a wooden cross reads warmer. Our BDSM cross guide walks through the frame types in detail.
It is built for buyers who already run, or are building, a dedicated space: private collectors, couples with a committed practice, and studio operators who want a wall-compatible cross that pairs with their existing restraint hardware. It is not an entry-level prop, and its 218 cm frame needs a wall or floor area that can accommodate a full-size cross.
Key features
- Welded steel X-frame: a rigid, powder-coated metal cross engineered for stability under sustained restraint load.
- Flat wall-flush profile: roughly 4 cm deep, so the cross mounts close to a wall or stands neatly within a play area.
- 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 to integrate with structured restraint systems.
- Wipe-clean finish: the powder-coated steel surface cleans quickly between sessions in private or studio use.
Why a metal cross over a wooden one
The reason to choose a welded steel cross comes down to profile and maintenance. The frame is metal in a slim roughly 4 cm depth, so it sits closer to the wall than a bulky timber A-frame and takes up less of the room's footprint.
A powder-coated steel surface also wipes down fast and resists the wear that shows on wood over time, which is why higher-turnover studios lean metal. If you want warmer aesthetics, a wooden cross is the alternative, and both hold the same standing spread-eagle position.
A cross only works if it holds the position you put someone in, so the anchor layout matters as much as the frame. This model spaces its four reinforced points for a standard standing spread-eagle, and the same points accept the cuffs and chain shown here. Here is how the frame is used and secured.
How the cross is used and secured
- Holds a standing, spread-eagle position at full body height
- Four reinforced anchor points carry the wrists and ankles
- Anchors accept cuffs, straps, clips, and chain for structured restraint
- Central and corner hardware shown supports adjustable restraint layouts
- Flat frame mounts to a wall or stands within a dedicated play area
Plan for the full frame before it arrives: the cross measures 218 cm high by 183 cm wide (85.8 by 72 inches), so it wants a clear wall or a dedicated corner. If you are still mapping the room, our dungeon design guide covers clearance and anchoring, and our dungeon equipment collection covers what fills the rest of the space.

How this metal cross compares to a wooden St. Andrew's Cross
Choosing between a metal and a wooden cross comes down to profile, upkeep, and aesthetic, not the position they hold. Both secure the same standing spread-eagle; our height-adjustable elm St. Andrew's Cross is the wooden alternative in the same range.
| Decision factor | This metal cross | Wooden St. Andrew's Cross |
|---|---|---|
| Frame material | Welded powder-coated steel | Solid elm wood |
| Wall profile | Flat, roughly 4 cm deep, sits close to a wall | Deeper A-frame, freestanding |
| Upkeep | Wipes clean, resists wear in high-turnover use | Warmer look, needs wood-safe care |
| Height | Fixed at 218 cm | Height-adjustable |
If you want a warmer aesthetic or an adjustable height, the wooden cross is the better fit. This metal model earns its place when you want a slim, wall-flush frame that wipes down fast.

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 a flat-profile welded metal version with four reinforced anchor points for the wrists and ankles.
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 cross holds the pose so both partners can focus on the scene rather than on maintaining a position.
Can this metal St. Andrew's Cross be wall-mounted?
Yes. The flat roughly 4 cm profile is designed to sit close to a wall surface. Confirm your wall structure can carry the cross plus dynamic restraint load before installation, and follow the manufacturer's anchoring guidance. Many studio operators bolt a flat cross through to structural studs for a permanent fixture.
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 any wall anchoring is rated for the combined load.
Why choose a metal cross over a wooden one?
Welded metal gives a slimmer, wall-flush profile and a surface that wipes down fast and resists wear, which suits industrial dungeon design and higher-turnover studios. A wooden cross offers warmer aesthetics and, in this range, an adjustable height. Both secure the same standing spread-eagle position, so the choice is profile and upkeep.
How tall is this St. Andrew's Cross?
The cross stands 218 cm tall and 183 cm wide (85.8 by 72 inches), with a flat profile roughly 4 cm deep. Net weight is 18.6 kg (41 lb). Plan for a clear wall or a dedicated corner, and confirm your ceiling and floor area accommodate a full-size standing cross before ordering.
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 welds and anchor points periodically and tighten any auxiliary hardware. Store 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 space?
That is what our team is here for. We help buyers confirm wall structure and clearance, match the cross to their existing restraint hardware, and plan a multi-piece installation before they order.
