Learn to install railing in 6' sections for easy repair later with @nationwideindustries7584
In this episode of The Fence Podcast, the discussion centered on a modular railing system designed to make installation and future repairs easier for contractors. The product is a bolt-down system that can be installed into wood, composite, or concrete surfaces, with optional cover pieces to hide the anchors for a cleaner look. The conversation also highlighted available aesthetic options, including black cable made from 316 stainless steel that is baked to achieve its black finish. A key takeaway was the system’s installation method: posts are set on 6-foot centers, top rails are connected with dedicated connector pieces, and the cable is cut and crimped in the field at the end. The cable is then tensioned with a wrench, allowing each section to be completed in 6-foot increments. This modular approach makes repairs much simpler because contractors can replace only the damaged section instead of dismantling the entire railing run. The company also noted next-day shipping, extra material included in boxes, installation videos, field reps, and dealer support through cityost.com.
Building railing in 6 foot sections makes future repairs faster, cleaner, and way easier without tearing everything apart.
