The St Andrew's Cross South Africa, Safety, Use & Buyer's Guide
If our standard range doesn’t fit your space, your body, or your vision — we build to spec. From a single modified piece to a full private dungeon, everything is quoted, made by hand, and collected discreetly.
What is a St Andrew's Cross?
The St Andrew’s Cross — also called an X-cross or saltire — is one of the most recognised pieces of BDSM furniture. The frame is built in an X shape, designed for a person to stand spread-eagle against it with their wrists secured at the upper two points and their ankles at the lower two. It is used for restraint scenes, impact play from behind, sensation play, and flogging.
A purpose-built cross is designed to carry a standing person’s full weight against the frame under movement and load. It is not decorative — the frame, weld quality, and anchor placement all need to work correctly for it to be safe.
Made in South Africa. Every Fetish Fabrications bench is welded and finished by hand in our Krugersdorp workshop. No flatpack, no import. If you need a non-standard dimension or configuration, we build it to spec.
Standard vs Folding — Which to Choose
Standard Cross
Fixed frame, maximum rigidity. Best for dedicated spaces or home dungeons where the cross stays in one place. It can be wall mounted or free standing.
From R8,500 — custom sizing available
Folding cross
Same mild steel construction with a fold-flat hinge system. Stores flat against a wall or in a cupboard. Ideal for smaller rooms or shared living situations. Same rated load capacity as the standard model.
From R14,500 — custom sizing available
Build Quality & Load Ratings
Our crosses are built from mild steel, welded at every joint — not bolted or pinned. Each cross is checked for squareness and frame integrity before finishing. Contact points are padded with high-density foam wrapped in durable vinyl.

Anchor points
Anchor O-rings are welded directly into the frame at wrist and ankle positions — not bolted on as aftermarket additions. The four-point restraint configuration suits standard cross use for both shorter and taller users within the frame’s height range.
Custom sizing: If you need a taller or wider frame to suit a specific user’s height or a particular room layout, quote on request. Custom dimensions are available at no extra charge within standard material.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a St Andrews Cross cost in South Africa?
A standard steel St Andrews Cross from Fetish Fabrications starts at R8,500.

What is the difference between a wall-mounted and freestanding St Andrews Cross?
A wall-mounted St Andrews Cross is fixed to a solid wall and takes up less floor space. A freestanding cross has a weighted base and can be placed anywhere in the room without drilling. Both options are available from Fetish Fabrications — we will advise which suits your space and wall type during the quote process.
Is a St Andrews Cross safe?
A purpose-built St Andrews Cross from a reputable maker is designed for load, stability, and safe restraint positioning.

Wrist and ankle positions follow safe ergonomic placement to reduce shoulder strain and circulation issues during use.
Can I see a St Andrews Cross before I order?
Yes. Fetish Fabrications furniture is available to view at our partner showroom at Play With Me in Lonehill, Sandton. Private viewings can also be arranged by appointment. Seeing the weld quality, padding, and stability in person makes a real difference before committing to a custom build.
