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.
This product is backed by Viewrail’s 10-year structural / 5–10-year finish warranty (excluding coastal regions).

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Express Sidemount Level Line Post (pre-drilled, fascia-mount plate attached)
Matte-finish plate cover (standard height)
3 ½-in. stainless structural screws — 4-pack, wood/concrete-anchor ready
Composite leveling shims — 2-pack for quick plumb adjustment
Flat-top handrail bracket with (2) ¼-20 × ½ in. Phillips flat-head screws
Black aluminum pop rivets — 6 for securing the bracket cover
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.
