The Glass Railing Round Fascia Mount Post with Handrail Bracket is part of Inline Design’s Virginia Round Style Glass Railing System. This version is designed for side-mounted glass railing installations where the post attaches to the fascia or side face of the structure and includes top hardware for a handrail or top rail.
The post comes with a cone handrail bracket and pivotable saddle at the top, allowing handrail or top rail tubing to be mounted above the glass railing system. Built from a 1.67" / 42.4 mm outside-diameter round stainless steel profile with a 12 gauge / 0.102" / 2.6 mm wall thickness, this post is a heavy-duty option for modern glass railing systems that need fascia mounting, round glass clamps, and integrated handrail support.
Use it for balconies, decks, porches, patios, stairs, landings, terraces, indoor railings, outdoor railings, wet or dry locations, residential projects, and commercial projects when installed according to local code, approved mounting conditions, glass requirements, and project-specific engineering.
Glass panels are purchased separately. This post system is designed for use with compatible tempered or laminated glass panels. Verify glass thickness, panel height, panel width, local code requirements, and project-specific engineering before ordering glass.

Important Installation Notes
- Glass panels are not included. Glass must be provided by a local vendor.
- Handrail/top rail tubing is not included. Select compatible handrail/top rail tubing based on the project design.
- Fascia mounting anchors are not included. Due to the variety of mounting surfaces, customers must supply the appropriate connecting hardware, including screws, bolts, anchor bolts, or other project-specific fasteners. For substrate-specific fastener guidance and recommended approaches, see Anchoring Options for Railing Posts.
- Anchor selection must be based on the mounting surface, including fascia framing, concrete, steel, wood blocking, or other approved structural substrates.
- Stair posts and other custom posts require an additional fee to account for custom post fabrication and CAD drawings specific to the customer field measurements when necessary.
- Custom fabrication requires a minimum of 1–2 weeks for production.
- Handrail height, top rail layout, guardrail height, glass type, post spacing, fascia plate location, anchoring, and other structural requirements must be verified against local code and project-specific engineering.
- For coastal or high-corrosion environments, stainless steel must be cleaned and maintained regularly.
Handrail Bracket M6 Screw Direction Disclaimer
The direction of the M6 screw on the handrail bracket may vary. The M6 screw that secures the saddle on top of the post may be positioned either on the inside or the outside face. This orientation is random and depends on the production batch. We cannot guarantee a specific direction, and mixing post batches may result in variation. This does not affect structural performance.
