There are three types of Express Level Posts and two types of Express Angle Posts. Each type is available in a side mount version.

Express Level End posts are used at the start or end of a run of railing.

Express Level Corner posts are used to turn a level corner with a single post.

Express Level Line posts are used between the ends and corners to keep your railing strong and up to code.

Express Angle End Posts are used at the start or end of a run of railing.

Express Angle Line Posts are used between the end posts to keep your railing strong and up to code.

Express cable comes in 100 or 400-foot spools. To determine how much cable you need, multiply the total linear feet of your level railing by the number of holes in your selected post, or Then, multiply that number by 1.1 to ensure you have enough extra cable in case of any mistakes you might make when cutting.

For example, if you have a 30 foot long run with 36 inch posts, here’s what the math would look like:

30 linear feet of railing x 10 holes on each post = 300 x 1.1 = 330 feet of cable required

In this example, if you purchased a 400 foot spool of cable, you'd have more than enough for your project.

When it comes to handrail, simply purchase enough to cover the linear feet of railing you identified during the measuring process. Express handrail comes in 8 and a half foot lengths, which can be cut down to size on-site if needed. Make sure to identify any place where the handrail ends – you’ll need an end plug for each handrail ending for a clean, safe finish.

No. While other companies force you to figure out what hardware (e.g., fittings and brackets) goes with which posts, Express posts come with all of the hardware you need in one simple bundle.
