If a 42” post is required, please opt for Muzata’s free design service.
Step 2: Measuring the Space
Measure the length of the area where you plan to install the cable railing. Accurate measurements of each section are essential before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
1. For Measuring the Stair Angles
● The All-in-one cable railing system is designed to accommodate staircase angles between 25° and 35°.
● The Surface mount can expand to 37°, while the side mount can expand to 38°.
(Above 35° the cables may not be parallel to the stairs, but this is within acceptable limits.)
✨If the angle of your stairs exceeds this range or non-parallelism is unacceptable, please consider purchasing individual undrilled posts and consult our free design service for personalized assistance.
2. For Measuring the Length of the Staircase Incline
