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:

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).
