Custom cable railings consist of railing frames, cable assemblies, colors and finishes that can require unique considerations to achieve a standard 36″ or 42″ railing requirement. While the term “custom” may be associated with difficulty, complexity, or even cost; custom cable railings can be made to be simple and easily modulated for DIY or professional installation by San Diego Cable Railings. Our custom cable railing kits can be modified to meet the needs of a variety of clientele and building challenges. The following list contains a few good examples of some common custom cable railing scenarios: Stair Railings- Cable railings for stairs commonly require angled mounting plates and off set perforations to properly accommodate unique building conditions that exist on these types of installations. Cable hardware for stairs is different than hardware for straight runs, and may require surface mounted cable fittings or angled washers. Wall Mounted Cable Railings- Cable railings mounted to angled or level pony walls, knee walls, or curbs may require modified post dimensions and mounting plates for proper attachment. Proper backing and the use of masonry anchors or stainless steel lag bolts may be necessary for these type of installations. Custom finishes and Specialty Coatings– One of the many benefits of purchasing from cable railing professionals is the ability to deviate from “cable in a bag” or “choose from 5 popular colors”. Large chain stores and online companies cannot customize cable assemblies or offer 100’s of colors and finishes. At San Diego Cable Railings we can mix and match materials and finishes, and design cable assemblies for even the most unique conditions. Do you have questions about custom cable railings?

A recent project photo displays the versatility of cable railing products with an installation of a beautiful craftsman cable railing. Typically associated with more contemporary or modern designs, cable railings can be modified and constructed in many ways with a variety of finish options to suit any style. The owners of this craftsman beach home in North San Diego have meticulously remodeled and manicured their home to perfection. We love the color scheme and style as well as the opportunity to furnish San Diego Cable Railings on such a beautiful home. With beautiful ocean views from multiple decks; heavy timber picket rails were not the right choice to maximize the outdoor living space. Cable railings were selected by the owners for the transparency and clean lines. Stainless steel railing posts with powder coat and type 316 stainless cable were utilized for corrosion resistance. Kudos to the installation team at SD Independent Construction for their attention to detail and quality construction practices. These guys are outdoor construction specialists with over a decade of producing quality decks, fences, and railings. Color selection and railing materials were chosen carefully by the homeowners and they really nailed it with the entire color pallet on this craftsman beach home. The muted post color and natural hardwood top railings softened the look of the linear stainless cables and the entire design really flows. Many of our customers construct cable railings and stainless cable fencing for a modern twist on an older home.

Safety is at the top of the list when it comes to stainless cable railings and raised decks. While most municipalities have adapted to the popularity of cable railing systems, some questions still arise. What is the truth about climbable railings? Do horizontal railing members allow children to climb? What is the ladder effect? The ladder effect is caused by sequential horizontal members that in theory could be easier to climb than vertical railing members because of the orientation and direction. Stainless cable railings were frowned upon and even prohibited years ago because of this possibility; BUT WHAT is the truth and WHERE are the statistics?

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.
Wood framed cable railing systems are the most cost effective way to construct a stainless steel cable railing. Wood timbers provide a warm feel, and offer the beauty of a natural and sustainable building material. Combined with the durability and clean lines of stainless steel cable, wooden cable railings are a great option for cable fencing as well. All of our wood framing members come from local US vendors that utilize sustainable harvesting practices. Cedar, Redwood, and Ipe Hardwood, are all great choices for wood framed cable railing and fencing. These woods contain acids that make them naturally resistant to rot and termites. Wood timbers can be stained, painted, or left untreated to weather naturally. Re-sawn timbers provide a rustic appearance and feel while smooth timbers appear more contemporary and linear. Rough textures will hold products like penetrating oils and paint much longer than smooth finishes. High quality finishes will extend the life of your wood framing and keep them looking beautiful for the long term. At San Diego Cable Railings we provide complete railing kits that utilize pre made wooden posts, Pre made wooden railing posts come pre drilled and we also offer pre finished. We include fasteners and mounting hardware as well as the DIY cable assemblies for a complete railing package.
