The Round Barebone Post for Custom Railings is a fabrication-ready stainless steel post for custom railing layouts where a standard pre-drilled post does not match the project design, field conditions, infill system, mounting condition, or handrail configuration.

These posts are supplied without predrilled holes for glass clamps, cable fittings, or other infill hardware, giving fabricators, contractors, architects, and experienced installers the flexibility to create project-specific hole patterns, fitting locations, mounting details, and railing assemblies.

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 family supports surface-mount, fascia-mount, stair-pivot, and no-flange custom fabrication applications.

Quick Product Highlights

Common Applications

• Custom glass, cable, bar, and specialty infill railing systems
• Custom round stainless steel guardrail posts
• Stainless steel, wood, and mixed-material handrail configurations
• Replacement or extension posts requiring custom hole patterns
• Decks, balconies, porches, stairs, and interior railings
• Residential, commercial, hospitality, and architectural projects
• Surface-mount and fascia-mount installations
• End, middle, inside-corner, and outside-corner locations

Intended Users

These posts are intended for experienced professionals who can complete project-specific drilling, fitting placement, fabrication, anchoring, and installation.

• Railing and metal fabricators
• General contractors and builders
• Architects and interior designers
• Professional railing installers
• Architectural metal contractors
• Experienced stainless-steel fabricators

These are not predrilled, plug-and-play railing posts. Final drilling, fitting placement, fabrication, anchoring, and installation must be completed according to project drawings, field conditions, selected railing infill, and applicable building-code requirements.

Available Configurations

What Is Included in the Kit?

Mounting and Height Information

Surface-mount posts include a welded base flange. Fascia-mount posts include a screwed fascia plate based on the selected mounting configuration.

Mounting anchors are sold separately and must match the supporting structure. For substrate-specific fastener guidance and recommended approaches, see Anchoring Options for Railing Posts.

For posts with the cone handrail bracket, the selected 36" or 42" height represents the nominal finished railing height with the handrail installed. The handrail shown in the drawings is for reference only and is not included.

For posts without a top handrail bracket, the stated height represents the post height above the finished floor or mounting reference shown in the technical drawings. Confirm final height, guardrail requirements, flange position, hole pattern, and mounting condition before drilling or fabrication.

Special Variants

The 54 5/8" No-Flange Cone variant is intended for fabricators who will attach their own mounting plate, embed the post, cut it to a project-specific length, or integrate it into another custom assembly. It appears under Surface in the selector for ordering purposes only.

Refer to the technical drawings for post height, finished railing height, overall height, floor-level reference, base and fascia flange dimensions, and mounting-hole configurations.

Accessories Sold Separately

End caps, base flange covers, handrails, mounting anchors, separate handrail brackets, glass clamps, cable fittings, bar holders, infill hardware, and other railing accessories are not included unless specifically stated in the selected variant.

Compatible components are available from the Handrail Parts collection.

Installation Responsibility

Mounting hardware must be selected for the supporting structure, including concrete, structural steel, wood framing, engineered blocking, fascia framing, or other approved substrates. Due to the variety of floor and fascia surfaces, customers must supply the appropriate connecting hardware for the base or fascia plate, including screws, bolts, anchor bolts, or other project-specific fasteners.

The installer is responsible for confirming:

• Structural backing, anchor type, and required embedment
• Post spacing
• Handrail and infill configuration
• Required guard height
• Final drilled-hole locations and fitting placement
• Compliance with applicable residential or commercial building codes

Stair posts and other custom posts may require an additional fee to account for custom post fabrication and CAD drawings specific to customer field measurements when necessary. Custom fabrication requires a minimum of 1–2 weeks for production.

For unusual mounting conditions, project-specific fabrication, or custom post configurations, contact Inline Design with the project dimensions and drawings before ordering.
