FAQ

Can the posts be used on floors that are not perfectly level?

Yes they can! American railing uses posts with plates welded on the bottom to connect to the surface of the deck or porch. The base of the posts can be adjusted to the proper angle with shims under the welded plate before attaching to the concrete or wood surface. Trim rings cover the welded plate for a finished look.

Are post caps included with the purchase of a railing post?

Post caps are sold separately. Flat post caps are standard, Ball Caps are optional at an additional charge.

Are posts pre-drilled to accept the connectors?

No they aren't. Newel posts have no holes drilled in them. The connectors use stainless steel self-drilling screws to fasten the connector to the post. No pre-drilling is required. Using a cordless drill to drive the screws makes the job easier. The screws are supplied with the connectors.

Are posts with plates welded at bottom available?

Yes, American posts have plates welded on the bottom for easy and inexpensive mounting to flat surfaces. Post supports are no longer needed, these welded posts meet the IBC or IRC codes. See the American Railing Quick Test Report Reference Guide for more information.

How do the posts mount to the floor?

Newel Posts are attached to wood or concrete surfaces using posts with plates welded on the bottom. These posts assure you install railing that meets IBC and IRC code. Post Mounting Instructions
