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 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!
