Cabinet Railing Posts- Placement of Brass Railing Posts is subjective.
- Post should be spaced equally across front.
- Typical spacing between posts, across front or back, is approximately 8” – 12” apart.
- If cabinet rail will be straight without sides, use end posts on each end
- If cabinet rail will have sides, use corner posts as a junction between front or back and sides.
- Please note if using sides: side-spacing often differs from front-spacing
- Railing post-base diameter is 1-1/4”. These posts should be inset a minimum of 3/4” from edge.
- Brass Rod is available in 2 lengths: 36” and 72”
- If rod is not long enough, it can be joined to another rod, within a post.
- If needed, rod can be cut shorter with a hacksaw
- Measure length of each straight run.
If your design is a straight rail, with no sides, it is one run.
However if it has more than once side, such as 3 sided it would then have 3 runs. - As rod is 36” or 72”, it often needs to be cut shorter or joined with a longer section to complete a run.
- To calculate total amount needed: add together total number of rods, for each run. Consider that you may have leftover rod from one run to satisfy another run.
