RailFX Cable Post, Surface Mount for 36" Res.

RailFX is one of the few systems tested to have posts spaced 60" on center, leaving less material obstructing your view. Most systems need some sort of support for the cables every 48", meaning they have a post or baluster brace every four feet.Posts will have the top rail run over the post to hide the top surface and create a continuous top rail surface.Posts are drilled, slotted, or left undrilled, depending on the position on the deck where they are installed. End posts are use on any level surface or the top of a stair where the cables end, and the fittings are hidden inside the post. Intermediate posts are used anywhere the cable is running straight through the post on a level deck surface (or at the top of a stair). Stair slotted posts are installed partway down a stair where the cable is running through the post at a downward angle (and does not change directions). These posts will need to be trimmed to height and have a baseplate attached, depending on the placement and position on the stair.Pre-drilled corner posts are drilled so that the cable can go into the post, turn 90 degrees, and come out of the adjacent side. These are used on either internal or external corners of the deck. At the bottom of a stair, if the cable ends at the last step, use a "bottom of stair" post and trim it to height to ensure that the cables are lined up properly with the other posts. These posts have holes drilled for fittings to be hidden inside the posts, much like standard end posts.
