AVALON ALUMINUM RAILING
STAIR CABLE INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Posts – Locate the position of your
posts on the stairs. Once posts are located,
follows steps shown in level railing to ensure
proper blocking is in place and secure prior
to installing stair railing. Note that top and
bottom end post come pre-drilled to accept
cable and fi ttings horizontal to the ground in
the same fashion that level cable is installed.
Holes do not need to be on an angle and
additional adapters are not needed.
At the top of the stairs, you will use a 39" (for
36" high panel) or 45" (for 42" high panel) end
post to accept the cable fi ttings.
At the bottom of stair, you have two options
for the bottom posts. Option 1 is to mount the
post on the stair tread (Fig. 13), and option 2
is to mount the post on the ground in front of
the fi rst stair step (See Fig. 14).

1.
PLANNING:
Follow the fastener and blocking
recommendations from Step 1 of the level
instructions. All stair posts must be setback a
minimum distance of 2" from the nose of the
stair (Fig 15). All other posts should set back
the same distance for the cable to line up
correctly.
If the stair travel distance (See Fig. 13) is
more than 8', one middle post is needed.
The middle posts has pre-drilled slots to
accommodate 26 - 38 degree stair angles. If
the stair distance is less than 8', the beam kit
will include the mid rail support you need for
the distance traveled.

For option 2, we offer 55" bottom posts with
pre-cut holes for cable and cable fi ttings.
Those bottom posts can be cut to the proper
length you need on the site.
Note: For any cable stair installation it may be
useful to loosely string one cable through the
posts before securing to the surface. Check
to ensure the cable lines up correctly and
adjust your post placement if needed before
fi nal placement is determined. If fascia mount
cable posts are used the maximum spacing
between posts is 48".
