Venture Series Side Mount Stainless Steel Cable Railing End Post

V2-P-ES-36-SM-316

In Stock - Ships in 3–5 business days.


Integrated post + cable tensioning system in a slim, solid stainless steel post.

Upgrade your railing with the absolute best in modern design for a cleaner, sleeker view. Featuring an internal tensioning system, Venture series railing eliminates the need for external hardware. No more ugly, bulky turnbuckles!

Clean, Minimal, All-in-One Post & Cable Tensioning System

Maximize your space and enjoy the best view possible with zero external hardware. The patented Cable Bullet tensioning mechanism is machined directly into solid stainless steel columns, making additional cable tensioners unnecessary! Tensioned cables disappear into the post without any bulky or industrial hardware. Side mount posts include a removable bracket for securing railing to the fascia or outside of a structure - the best option for stairs or spaces with limited surface area. 

Add beauty and a modern aesthetic to your room or deck with the sleek profile and cutting-edge design of Venture series railing. Complete your project with ultra-slim Venture series side mount structural intermediate posts and Cable Bullet spacer bars

Please Note: Side-mount brackets are optimized for use on wood structures only and should not be attached to concrete or stone! Mounting screw holes are tightly spaced to maximize their holding strength in wood. However, in a masonry application, this highly increases the likelihood of damage between adjacent pilot holes, compromising the safety of your railing. Venture series top mount posts are designed for use in most masonry applications.

Installer-Friendly design

Designed for simpler installation, side mount railing allows you to set and level the post bracket first. Once the bracket is plumb, simply attach the post column to the bracket!

Easier Installation on Stairs

Avoid cables intersecting with stair treads! Side mount railing can provide more flexible placement options around stairs and angles.
