Safe deck railings and the question of safety on raised decks has become increasingly popular on discussion boards throughout the building community. When it comes to cable railings, manufacturers are encouraged to follow even tighter guidelines than some traditional deck railings. The recent growth in popularity of cable railings has expedited the need for proper standards and testing.  San Diego Cable Railings prides itself on the structural integrity of our railing systems. We are continually performing in house tests, as well as field testing on our railing systems.
