A:  Hi Shay. As someone in the community mentioned, you will need a cement pier or you can cut the welded base off of our taller EZ Posts and bury them with cement. Taller posts: model# EZSP72HB and EZSP96HB Thank you for your question. Dan H. (EZ Handrail Dev. Team)

A:  I think you would need the post that goes with cable. We looked at many options including cable and got the railings, etc. that go with these posts. It looks great and functions great-love it.

A:  Hi Tbird. This post has a .093" wall thickness and can only be used as a "pass through" or line post for cable rail. You can special order a thicker wall end/corner attachment post, (3/16" is what we used to sell with our cable rail system) by contacting us and we coordinate the sale through your local Home Depot Pro Desk. These posts are not predrilled. Email: support@ezhandrail.com or 573.365.7085. Thanks for your question. Dan H. (EZ Handrail Dev. Team)
