Question 1

What are the dimensions of the included tools and what are the considerations when using them?

Accepted Answer

Wood drill bit: 5/16” (M8) W x 3” (75mm) L Masonry drill bit: 5/16” (M8) W x 4-3/4” (120mm) L Wedge anchor: 5/16” (M8) W x 3-1/8” (80mm) L Lag screws: 5/16” (M8) W x 1.9/16” (40mm) L When installing our posts on any type of flooring (e.g., composite wood) and it is too thin, you will need to purchase longer screws or anchors elsewhere in order for the products to be mounted properly on the inner floor.

Question 2

Will the Top Mount Posts work with Side Mount Posts?

Accepted Answer

The different mount orientations are not compatible with each other. That means our Top Mount Posts work best with other Top Mount Posts, while our Side Mount Posts work best with other Side Mount Posts.

Question 3

Can these posts be painted or stained to match my decor?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! All our posts come powder-coated with a 5-layer black finish that’s made to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. This protective layer defends against flaking, chipping, scratches, and color deterioration. Outdoor paint of any color will adhere to the protective layer — in fact, weather-resistant paint can even add an additional layer of defense against the elements, while customizing your rails to look exactly the way you want.

Question 4

Do these posts heat up on sunny days?

Accepted Answer

Like any product made of metal, our posts will heat up a bit on sunny and/or hot days. However, our 5-layer protective powder coating is weather-resistant, and will prevent your railing from becoming too hot to touch. In the unusual circumstance that your railing becomes too hot, simply wiping it down with cold water will quickly cool it off again.

Question 5

What are the different heights of the posts for?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, these are the use-cases of our Plain Posts: 38”: for residential use with our railings 42”: for residential or commercial use with our railings 60”: for use with our fence kits, or with our railings for soil-install

Question 6

Can I install my railings and posts on any surface?

Accepted Answer

Our railing kits come with the necessary drill bits and wedge anchors to secure the posts onto any surface, be it wood, concrete, or brick. If you are planning on installing the posts on harder surfaces like granite, you will need a diamond drill bit (5/16" x 3.5")—which provide for free. Send us a message if you need one. To make the installation process seamless, we’ve also included a depth-measuring pencil, washers, and a hex nut driver. For more instructions on how you can install the railing posts, watch this video: If you need more information about the types of drills you can use with our parts, refer to this:

Question 7

Should I hire a handyman to install my railings, or do it myself?

Accepted Answer

All our rail kits are designed to be easy to install in an hour or less. As long as you’re comfortable with using simple power tools, you should be able to handle the job without any special assistance. In fact, more than 3,000 happy customers say their railings were remarkably fast and easy to install!

Question 8

What tools do I need to install these posts?

Accepted Answer

We’ll provide all the fasteners you’ll need, including screws for attaching the posts to wood and plastic, as well as anchors for cement and masonry. The installation process will be easiest with a handheld power drill or hammer drill, and a set of screwdriver bits — but any set of screwdrivers will work in a pinch.

Question 9

How do I clean and maintain my posts?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning your rails is easy! Our 5-layer weather-resistant coating already protects against most stains, and dirt is easy to clean off. Just wet a non-abrasive or microfiber cleaning cloth with water, and wipe the posts down to clear away any dust.

Question 10

Are top rail brackets or plates included with this product?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the necessary bracket or top plate needed to attach any form of top rails to these posts are included.

Question 11

What CR Fence & Rail products are the Plain Posts compatible with?

Accepted Answer

The Plain Posts are primarily used as posts for the Guard Rails. However, as these are designed to be universal, the posts can also be used to extend our Horizontal Handrails and Stair Handrails.

Question 12

Can I return the extra leftover items from my kit after installation?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not accept leftover items as returns, since we cannot repackage them and they will end up in a landfill.
