Lexington Hitching Post Maduro Non-Combustible Mantel Surround
The Hitching Post is a three-piece fireplace surround, a top rail and two posts, modeled directly from three pieces of old wood. Lexington named it for the hitching posts and rails where riders once tied their horses at Kentucky homes and businesses.
This listing is Maduro, a dark mahogany base with brown mid-tones and subtle honey and cream highlights. Model number SUR-3-LH-MD.
The Hitching Post in Maduro: A Three-Piece Rustic Surround
Where a mantel shelf sits above the opening, the Hitching Post frames the fireplace on three sides. The casting shows deep weathered woodgrain, tool marks, insect damage, nail holes, saw marks, checks, splits and knots on every exposed edge, and the Burncrete is certified non-combustible under ASTM E136.
The top rail is 78.5" long and the posts stand 56" tall. For a lower opening, Lexington can cut the posts to any height from 36" to 56" before the set ships. It also comes in Pale Honey, Weathered Grey, Eclipse and Roasted Chestnut, and the rest of the Lexington Hearth collection has mantel shelves in the same colors.

FAQs
Can the posts be shortened?
Yes. Lexington can cut the posts to any height between 36" and 56" when you order. Burncrete should not be cut or sanded without dust protection, so a factory cut is the cleaner route. Reach out to our team with your opening height.
Can I get a custom color?
Yes. Lexington matches custom colors at the factory from more than 150 shades. Reach out to our team for a quote.
How is it installed?
The set ships with a mounting bracket and fasteners. Follow Lexington's instructions and keep to your fireplace manufacturer's clearances and local code.
