Installation Guide
Ensure a professional-grade setup with these steps:
- Layout: Mark your post locations. For optimal cable tension, intermediate posts should be spaced no more than 4 feet apart.
- Mounting: Bolt the post base to your wood deck or concrete slab using the included heavy-duty hardware.
- Base Cover: Slide the decorative base cover over the flange to conceal the mounting bolts.
- Cable Threading: Run your 1/8" or 5/32" cable through the pre-drilled holes. Use end posts (sold separately) to tension the lines.
- Handrail Attachment: Attach your wood or metal handrail to the top bracket using the included flat connector.
