Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Level Line post do?
The level line post is the post that's located in the middle of a railing run. It's job is to hold the cable in a line and provide structural support. There is no tensioning hardware necessary for the post.
How many line posts will I need for my project?
This answer will depend on how many feet your railing run will span. To be up to code A railing post is required every 4 feet. This means that if you divide your railing span length by 4 you'll have the ALMOST correct amount of posts. Because every project requires TWO end posts. You will subtract this 2 from this number every time. For example 20ft / 4ft = 5, 5 - 2 end posts = 3 line posts.
Can level posts connect to stair posts?
There is no current support for level posts to be connected to stair posts. If you would like to have both a stair & level system contact our team for our custom solutions or purchase a stair & level run separately.
