Thank you for your question. However, this type of installation is not recommended since railing systems have to comply with building codes. In order to comply, this railing system has to be installed with the corresponding posts, sold separately.

Yes, this product can be cut to the desired length and have a pole ( post ) between the sections.

Since the rail is reinforced with steel, we recommend removing the steel insert from the rail, then cutting the rail and steel insert separately. To cut the vinyl rail, use either a handsaw or a miter saw. Typically a miter saw with a blade that has 80+ teeth will provide a better finish cut, than standard 40 teeth blade for the vinyl. If you chip a little bit of the edge of the cut rail, do not worry as the this railing system uses a rail bracket that wraps around the rails so the cut edge will not be visible.

For the steel insert, use a standard steel hacksaw. When cutting steel, the edges looses a little bit of their rust property, we recommend applying some rust paint ( rust-o-leum as an example ) on the edge that was cut.

Enjoy your installation, measure twice - cut once !

Yes, it can easily be disassembled and cut to size. However, please check with local building codes for appropriate rail height.

Yes you can use this railing to be installed between these posts. Each railing section includes the rail brackets which are design to be installed in-between existing posts if needed.

The steel reinforcement insert goes in the hand rail.
