Cable Railing How To’s: Two Post Corner

Utilizing a Two Post Corner Constructing cable railing frames can be done in a variety of ways when it comes to selecting railing posts, top railings, and cable infill. As cost relates to stainless steel cable assemblies, the price is greatly related to the amount of stainless hardware or cable fittings needed in order to construct the cable railing. At San Diego Cable Railings we value engineer our cable railing kits without sacrificing strength or aesthetics. Cable Railing How To Tip: A great way to reduce the cost of stainless cable infill is by utilizing a 2 post corner at a 90 degree turn. When using two posts at a 90 degree turn the cable can actually turn the corner on a single strand creating a soft 45 degree bend in the cable. Two post corners are extremely sturdy and create a constant load path vs. pulling a railing frame in opposite directions. Railings will sustain and maintain tension easier, and the load on the corner will be dispersed among 2 posts. Included are a few example photos and some bullet points about the benefits of 2 post corner design. Benefits of Utilizing a Two Post Corner Framing Detail: ▸  Lower cable hardware cost with a continuous flow of cable around the corner vs. a start and stop ▸  Create a continuous load path for cable tension vs. pulling cables in 2 separate directions ▸  Improve your top railing connections when attaching rails to double posts vs. on top of a single post ▸  Use cable tension to hold mitered corners on wooden top railings ▸  Experience easier installations, less labor, more time and money saved ▸  Improved aesthetic results when utilizing continuous cables resulting in less visible hardware.

Cable Railings Color Selection

Cable railings color selection can greatly improve the aesthetics and transparency of your cable railing system. At San Diego Cable Railings we offer a wide variety of colors, textures, and bare steel finish options for pre-made cable railing kits. One of the most frequent and challenging choices for customers is color selection. At present, our most popular choices have been metallic powder coat, matte black, bare stainless steel, and medium grey tones. The look of bare steel and colors that mimic bare steel are top choices among designers and trade professionals. Consideration of space usage and desired aesthetics are very important considerations for customizing your cable rail or cable fencing project. Here are a few helpful tips and photos from our cable rail pros that will touch on some common finish option scenarios. ▸  Grey tones and matte finishes are more subdued and perfect for landscape settings where the emphasis is on transparency. ▸  Natural wood railings combined with grey railing posts and stainless steel cable will disappear among trees and hillsides. We use green toned grey railing posts to blend with rivers and lakes. ▸  Light grey is perfect for beach style railings, as is weathered wood. ▸  When cable railings are constructed in natural settings or on older homes, rustic designs can be preserved when materials are properly selected. Heavy timbers or rough-sawn combined with cable will soften the look and feel of what is typically considered a modern or contemporary cable railing.

Cable Railing Code Compliance

Cable Railing Code Compliance- Cable railings are also sometimes referred to as wire railings. The horizontal cables are typically threaded through a variety of different deck railing posts, and the cables are then tensioned to provide rigidity and ensure safety. Cable railing installations have raised some questions throughout the years about code compliance. The horizontal nature and deflection associated with cable railings differs from the standard solid vertical balusters we’ve grown accustomed to for so many years. Stainless steel cable railings have become very popular due to the clean lines, and unobstructed views through the cables. In addition T316 marine grade stainless steel is ultra corrosion resistant. But are cable railings safe? Do they satisfy building code? Although codes and municipalities vary and you should always check your local codes; the answer is YES!

Stainless Cable Fencing

Stainless Cable Fencing Cable fencing is a perfect choice for coastal and landscape settings. Our  pre made cable railing posts and cable railing kits are extremely popular as fencing options for landscaping applications. They work great for keeping pets and children in while keeping critters or predators out. Unobstructed views and no glass to clean!! Stainless cable fencing posts can be set in concrete footings, mounted to wood framing, or bolted to masonry walls and concrete slabs. Even at close range cable fences can become invisible and disappear into existing landscapes. Transparency is the number one choice for customers constructing fences with stainless steel cable. Stainless wire easily dies into soft scape designs and coastal backdrops. With no glass to clean, cable fences are a lower cost and durable alternative to glass fences and railings. Color and material selection is key when it comes to creating a transparent barrier fence. Neutrals and gray tones seem to be the most popular colors for cable fencing projects. Both light and dark colors can be utilized depending on the setting and usage. Typically a muted finish with colors that exist in the natural backdrop will provide the best results for a transparent barrier. San Diego Cable Railings also provides customized cable railings for a variety of applications both indoors and outdoors.
