See important notes on the main Frame Requirements
& Details page before beginning your project.
End & Corner Post Minimum Sizes
The end and corner posts need to be
strong enough to support the full tension load of the cables. Below are
the recommended minimum sizes for the end and corner posts only. The
intermediate posts do not support any tension load and only need to be
sized as necessary to support the cap rails and meet code requirements.
The Basic Frame Design
And Some Other Frame Design Options
Steel Railing Frames - The Details
Cable assemblies are strung horizontally and may either be terminated at corner
posts or run continuously through the corners. Details of these conditions are shown below:
Running Cables Continuously Through The Corners
The detail for square tubing would be the same as that shown for round pipe.
Terminating Cables At Corners
Corner termination conditions depend on the type of end fittings used.
Surface Mount and Jaw Type fittings attach to the face of a post whereas
all other fittings require a through-post hole for attachment.
The following drawings show the various combinations of face and
through-post attachment conditions.
