Our cable railing systems have always been available in many styles, sizes and colors. Heat, moisture, salt spray or any marine conditions are some of the factors that contribute to the longevity and durability of cable railing systems in general. With our newest addition to the pre-made cable railing posts we now offer “extreme conditions” railing posts. These posts use a combination of a hard powder coated shell with heavy wall 304 or 316 (per request) stainless steel posts, that provide a durable framework for extreme weather conditions.
What is a Cable Railing? Cable Railings 101: Although “cable railing” is the preferred terminology for residential applications, cable railings are also referred to as wire railings, wire rope, wire rope assemblies, stainless steel wire, stainless steel cable, aircraft cable, marine wire, cable rail, cable railing systems, modern railings, and contemporary railings. Cable railings are dedicated to architectural applications and geared toward barrier railings and fencing for safety, code compliance, and architectural use. Other terms like aircraft cable, marine wire, marine cable, stainless wire rope, and stainless steel cable, also refer to some form of the same product. DIY cable assemblies have become very popular in recent years.

We have seen a distinct increase in demand over the past few years for an alternative to standard wooden and composite railing systems. Besides being costly, composite systems are usually very plastic looking, and don’t carry the clean lines that you get from a hand crafted wood framed railing system. For our coastal and hilly landscape in San Diego, cable rail has been an excellent alternative, and carries a better price point than many of the most popular railing choices on the market. Our cable railing systems and components are made from 316 grade stainless steel, which is tailor made for withstanding marine environments and conditions. When properly installed and maintained, a Brazilian Hardwood or Aluminum framed cable system can last 50 + years. We believe that the look and feel that our cable systems provide, have the potential to modernize a remodel, or blend into an existing landscape. As seen in our photos, the cables are nearly invisible, and will reflect the surrounding landscape so well that sometimes they are difficult to photograph. Future blogs will compare and contrast different railing systems, cost factors, design, and building elements that we believe separate our railings from the competition. Thanks for visiting!
