My wife and I are looking at doing a horizontal fence using Hoft posts. She like the looks of your hollow UH02 in Walnut. Do you have any recommendations?

Are there color matched screw plugs for the caribbean blue deck boards? An, no routed the entire length of the board. That's something I didn't know. I wish the caribbean blue was available on Columbus profile, but I will have to route for the fastenters since I don't want visible screws. Don't think I could get that L-shaped groove carved in to the Cortes board Unless I could fit a dremel blade in somehow. Would be a pain, but I could possibly do it, but then would need to get some sealant inside where I cut. I want to make a small landing outside an exterior door but need to figure out the measurements and how many boards I would need. Again, I wish fascia board was available in the caribbean blue. Is it just an unpopular color? I suppose worst case I can use primed PVC boards and then paint them for some of the edges and for riser covers on the stairs. For people who aren't using boards on the sides, it would be nice to get some sort of end caps for the Magellan and Columbus boards. Although, I suppose it would look nicer to use boards on the edge and miter them to hide the edges, but not everyone will want to do that. Shoutout to Richard Lam for answering my e-mails and giving me some info on the router bit size (1/4") and letting me know that some of the boards are not available in the caribbean blue.
Gotta love how they dont tell you anywhere, on their videos or website, of how to cut them with a curve. Not all decks are square, some are rounded.....
I agree . They are hard and screws fail. I ended using a larger drill bit and then worked just fine . Wish they would have just made holes on the rail to post diagrams . I used a drill bit to make holes on cardboard diagram and sort of worked
Not as easy as it looks. Those posts are hard to drill pilots into. I went through several $9 bits designed for metal drill into these things. The 7/64 pilot is too small for the self-drilling screws they provide and they are prone to strip. I changed to hex-head self-drilling screws to make installation much more manageable. I really dislike the screws they provide, they have flat ends, and are unable to find purchase in the pilot holes you drilled. Very difficult to screw in straight. The paper templates are not centered along the fold so if you follow the directions your posts will be off-center. You must mark a center line on the post and the template if you want a centered post. Learned this the hard way.
