What You Want from a Cable Railing System

Jump to Section:

Our customers want unobstructed views, attractive railings, safe and EASY installations!
The sample photos illustrate a typical DIY cable railing system from San Diego Cable Railings.

A DIY DECK RAILING PACKAGE CONTAINS:

▸  POSTS used to sustain lateral loads, and support the top railings
▸  TOP RAILINGS for lateral stability, tension loads, and safety
▸  STAINLESS STEEL CABLE for railing infill, transparent barriers, fall protection, corrosion resistance
▸  FASTENERS AND HARDWARE to attach the posts, cables, and railing components

By minimizing hardware and components, and maximizing cable spans, we create clean lines and cost effective railing packages. A San Diego Cable Railing System will provide beauty and value without breaking the bank.

WHAT ABOUT QUALITY?

Our stainless steel railing posts are produced from 100% domestic steel, made by American hands. NO OUTSOURCING! We utilize welded mounting plates for superior strength and faster installations. DIY cable assemblies feature type 316 marine grade cable and fittings for the ultimate in corrosion resistance.

WHY WOOD?

-Not wood, IRONWOOD! Sustained harvest South American hardwood (IPE) lasts 30 to 50 years even untreated. This amazing timber species maintains cable tension loads like steel, and offers a more attractive and cost effective alternative to aluminum or steel top railings. Ipe is impervious to rot and insects, and can be oiled or left untreated.
