Abstract
An angle-adjustable post assembly for supporting a rail panel on a stairway includes a post portion that is a generally hollow rectangular tube and a pivot rod that extends laterally from the post portion. The pivot rod is cylindrical to allow pivoting adjustment to position the post portion in a vertical orientation for multiple incline angles. The angle-adjustable post assembly also includes a base portion defining a plurality of first through holes, each of which is configured to receive a first fastener. A top bracket with an arcuate portion that is sized and shaped to correspond to the circumference of the pivot rod defines a pair of second through holes, each configured to receive a second fastener.
