Our Story
CityPost was developed with 3 friends with a passion for building better, more efficient solutions.
After a frustrating experience looking for cable railing for a personal home renovation, they knew there had to be a better solution for simpler, more affordable cable railing. So, they made one!
By optimizing the design of a single post to fit with their patent pending bracket, the trio created a simple cable railing system that can be easily installed by anyone without ever cutting a post or using expensive hardware. Soon after installing their innovative solution in their own homes, they created CityPost so savvy homeowners like you can have the high-end look of cable railing, without the high-end cost, in your home, too.
