See important notes on the main Frame Requirements
& Details page before beginning your project.
End & Corner Post Minimum Size
The end and corner posts need to be
strong enough to support the full tension load of the cables; therefore,
the minimum recommended size is standard 4" x 6" wood. 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
Wood 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
Terminating Cables At Corners
Stair Post Termination - Threaded Terminal Ends
Drill angled holes and use beveled washers. Part #3799 for 1/8" or 3/16" Threaded Terminal. Part #3792 for 1/4" Threaded Terminal.
Stair Post Termination - QuickConnect-SS™ Fittings
Drill angled holes and use beveled washers. Part #3792 for 1/8" QuickConnect-SS™ fitting. Part #3798 for 3/16" QuickConnect-SS™ fitting. Part #3798 for 1/4" QuickConnect-SS™ fitting.
Protector Sleeves
Insert sleeve #3210 (for 1/8" & 3/16" cable - not 1/4") in all holes where the cable enters at an angle and would have a tendency to cut into the wood (e.g. stair transition posts or the outside faces of double corner posts).

All decks and railings are unique; therefore, slight variations in the
installation procedures and frame designs may be necessary depending on
your specific conditions. If you need assistance or have questions
