Cable Railing System Kit with Stainless Round Posts
Stainless steel round posts and rails add a more modern aesthetic to any space. You can use this kit to match urban home styles and designs that blend well with metallic accents. The lustrous, brushed finish is an excellent touch for many contemporary homes. Furthermore, you can also use them to add an industrial flair to more traditional patios and decks.
At Stainless Cable & Railing, our stainless steel round kit offers quality design combined with environment-friendly features. The materials don’t leach toxic substances and can be recycled. The posts and railing don’t require repainting or staining, so they need very little maintenance. They’re made of durable material, lasting many years and needing minimal upkeep.
Railings made from Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel contain more nickel and molybdenum, offering better corrosion resistance. This feature works well for outdoor applications. Since the components are more durable and resistant to rust, our railing materials are an excellent option for homes located in areas with extreme climates.
Our components are an excellent fit for homes located in humid areas, especially near the ocean or pools. Stainless hardware will only need minimal cleaning with soap and water and the occasional repassivation.

Our cable railing kit with square stainless posts is similar to our kit with round posts and rail. You can choose kits with three to ten posts included.

You can install them near chlorine-bearing environments, alkaline solutions, and water. For instance, if you’re constructing horizontal cable railings near a pool or a garden with a sprinkler system, our rail systems can last longer than other competing products. Further, the cable railing components we supply are easy to clean, making them a premiere choice for people who are very particular about hygiene.

Our aluminum railing system kits are a good fit for customers looking for a cost-effective solution. Aluminum is a corrosion resistant metal but it isn’t completely corrosion-proof. It is durable and lightweight and can be used for various applications. This metal is non-ferrous, which means it will not rot or rust. However, it is important to keep in mind that aluminum can still corrode when exposed to alkaline or high acidity environments.
Aluminum can corrode when exposed to salt sprays or sea water. Nevertheless, you can reduce the corrosion rate of aluminum posts by applying a protective coat, painting or anodizing. At Stainless Cable and Railing, we supply powder coated aluminum posts in various colors such as bronze, natural, clay, white, and black.
Infill Kits
All of the horizontal cable railing kits provided by Stainless Cable & Railing come with standard infill kits, which include stainless steel cables with end fittings. Customers can also purchase infill kits separately. These kits come with factory pre-swaged tensioners, nuts, washers, and field terminals. We recommend ordering 11 infill kits for standard 36-inch railing systems and 13 kits if you’re building a 42-inch railing.
Tools for Construction and Assembly
Aside from the materials and hardware needed to construct a horizontal cable rail system, you will also need a few tools for setup and maintenance:
- Cable Crimper: Crimping tools can be used for 1/8-inch and 3/16-inch cables.
- Cable Cutter: You will also need a cable cutter for either 1/8 or 3/16-inch cable.
- Passivator: Prevents and cleans oxidation and rusting.
- Rust Protection Lubricant: A liquid solution that can seep into pores and surfaces of stainless steel hardware, preventing corrosion.
