Fortress Fe26 H-series Railing
Get started with the simple steps below to purchase your customized Fortress cable railing systems.
We strongly recommend following the Fortress Railing installation guides for best results.
Step 1: Select Railing panel
- Fortress cable railing is available in 6’ and 8’ sections (actual lengths 69.5” and 93.5”).
- Two posts styles are available to create 42”-height cable railings (See Step 2).
- I-support is not included in the railing panel kit and is optional for installation.
Panel Selection Tips:
- Try to make all railing sections on a row the same size. (For 20 feet of railing, create four 5’ sections with 6’ rails or three approximately 7’ sections with 8’ rails – rather than 6’, 6’, 8’.)
- Check your local building codes to ensure height compliance.
- Fortress Fe26 H-series railing considered as claimable and restricted by Ontario and some other jurisdictions.
The following requirements apply in Ontario:
- If the deck/porch height is above-grade 5' or more, your handrail should be 42" high (from the deck surface).
- If the deck/porch height is less than 5' above-grade, your handrail should be 36" high (from the deck surface).
- If the deck/porch height is less than 2' above-grade, a railing is not required.
