The Express Sidemount Level Line Post is the mid-span support for fascia-mounted Express cable-rail runs.
Pre-drilled on two faces, it bolts directly to properly blocked fascia boards and keeps cables perfectly level — no field drilling, bending, or tension hardware required. Install one line post every 4 ft. between two end posts (or corner posts) to meet code and maintain a rigid, open-view railing. Ships fast from Goshen, Indiana, usually in 1–3 business days.

Note: Line posts do not require cable-end fittings—the cable passes straight through. The mounting plate’s top edge sits 1 ⅜ in. below deck-surface height; plate height is 6 in., so ensure at least 8 in. of fascia depth for a code-compliant install.
The side mount level line post is the post that's located in the middle of a railing run. It's job is to hold the cable in a line and provide structural support. There is no tensioning hardware necessary for the post.
This answer will depend on how many feet your railing run will span. To be up to code A railing post is required every 4 feet. This means that if you divide your railing span length by 4 you'll have the ALMOST correct amount of posts. Because every project requires TWO end posts. You will subtract this 2 from this number every time. For example 20ft / 4ft = 5, 5 - 2 end posts = 3 line posts.
The top of your mounting plate is designed to sit 1 3/8" under the top of your mounting surface, or deck surface. Each plate is 6" tall, so you will need at least 8" of fascia board.
Viewrail's express post system is excluded from the Viewrail Coastal Products Warranty Program. Stainless and Aluminum make contact in a salty environment a galvanic reaction occurs accelerating corrosion. Because of this, Viewrail has created a coastal specific solution which provides a long-lasting and low maintenance railing system for coasts.
