Fascia Post for RDI Avalon Cable railing System
What a Fascia Post Is (for Avalon Cable Rail)
A fascia post for the RDI Avalon Cable System is a structural railing post engineered to mount on the vertical face (fascia) of your deck or balcony, rather than on the deck surface itself. This is especially useful when you want to avoid drilling holes into decking boards — such as when you have a membrane roof or a finished deck surface you don’t want to penetrate. For cable railing specifically, these posts are pre-drilled or routed for cable infill, so the stainless cable runs cleanly through the post at regular spacing and helps meet cable tension and code requirements.

Why Use Fascia Posts in Cable Railing
Preserves Deck Surface
- Fascia posts attach to the deck’s fascia board instead of the walking surface — ideal for membrane-covered decks or finished decking where you don’t want holes.
Clean, Modern Look
- Fascia mounting provides a sleek, unobstructed edge — especially with cable rail which already emphasizes sightlines and minimal visibility.
Meets Cable Load Requirements
- Cable infill puts significant tension forces on posts. Fascia posts (especially routed for cable) are designed to route the cable through and handle tension loads when used with the correct brackets and anchors.
Compatible with Avalon Hardware
- Fascia posts use RDI fascia mounting brackets (inside corner, outside corner, mid brackets, etc.) to secure them properly to the decking structure. These brackets are essential for a safe installation.
