Consider the length, height, and any corners or angles that may require special attention. This will ensure a precise installation and a seamless look. Additionally, take into account your local building codes and regulations to ensure compliance. Style and Design Stainless steel cable railings are known for their sleek and minimalistic design. However, you still have options to customize the look of your railing. Consider the style of your home and deck to choose a railing system that complements the overall aesthetic. Decide if you prefer horizontal or vertical cable runs and explore different infill options such as glass panels or wooden posts. Quality and Durability Investing in a high-quality stainless steel cable railing system is essential for its long-term performance. Look for marine-grade stainless steel cables that are resistant to corrosion and provide maximum strength. Focus on the quality of the fittings and hardware as well, ensuring they are built to last in outdoor environments.

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.

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.

Our pre-fabricated DIY cable assemblies make installation for Do It Yourselfers all around the United States streamlined and hassle free.

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.
