Looking for a way to create beautiful, safe cable railings that don't ruin your view? This pre-drilled picket post is the perfect solution for homeowners and builders who want both style and security in their railing systems.
Without proper intermediate posts, cable railings can be unsafe and unreliable. Building codes require that you can't push a 4" ball through your cables, which means posts every 3-4 feet are essential. But drilling precise holes in posts can be time-consuming and frustrating.
This picket post comes with 13 through elongated holes precisely spaced at 3-1/8" center to center. Made from anodized black aluminum (or silver), it's designed to resist corrosion and oxidation for years of reliable service. The sturdy 3/4" x 3/4" x 42" dimensions provide excellent stability while keeping your line of sight clear.
Installation is straightforward with included square mounting connectors and high-grade #12.9 stainless steel screws that won't strip. The aluminum construction allows for easy cutting down to custom heights if needed, and you can even drill out the picket holes to accommodate 5/32" or 3/16" railing cables for different project requirements.
Use these posts anywhere you need cable railing support - between terminal posts on level runs, as part of stair railings, or even as a template to mark where to drill holes on other posts. They work perfectly with both wood and metal railing systems, giving you flexibility in your design choices.
The anodized finish not only looks great but also protects against the elements, ensuring your railing system remains safe and secure for years to come. Whether you're building a new deck, renovating stairs, or creating a modern balcony railing, these posts provide the reliability you need without compromising your view.
