Description While the tubing used for our Stainless Steel Round Posts & Top Rail is naturally resistant to bending with its cylindrical shape, this thicker-walled version is specially designed for additional resilience; ideal for terminal applications in cable railing systems. Details: 2in OD Brushed Finish 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Post w/ 0.158″ wall thickness Available Un-drilled or Pre-Drilled with 11 or 13 holes (depending on rail height) For Deck Mounting cable railing on Level Surfaces to achieve 36in or 42in final rail height See Diagram above for possible Drilling configuration. If PROFESSIONAL SWAGING SERVICE is used at both ends of the cable run: Use DECK OR FASCIA MOUNT TERMINAL POSTS for every post in your rail spaced evenly no more than 4′ apart, including double offset posts at the corners. This will allow the attached fitting to pass through every post in the system. If HAND SWAGING your assemblies (RECOMMENDED): Minimum of 2 DECK OR FASCIA MOUNT TERMINAL POSTS are required for each cable run (wherever your cable begins and ends). If your cable run also has 90 degree corners, use double INTERMEDIATE POSTS at each corner. Use DECK OR FASCIA MOUNT INTERMEDIATE POSTS spaced evenly (4′ Max) for the remainder of the posts. CABLE CRIMPERS and CABLE CUTTERS are required. Note: Stainless Steel is highly resistant, but not impervious to the elements, and requires minimal maintenance for ideal results. We recommend applying Passivator to all exposed stainless steel components at the time of installation. In addition, apply Rust Rescue if within 10 miles of a marine environment to further protect the stainless steel.
