Choosing the Right Stainless Steel Cable Railing for Your Deck

When it comes to enhancing the safety and beauty of your deck, stainless steel cable railings are an excellent choice. Their sleek and modern design, coupled with their durable construction, make them a popular option among homeowners and designers alike. But how do you choose the right stainless steel cable railing for your deck? At San Diego Cable Railings, we understand the importance of finding the perfect fit for your project. Keep reading to learn about the four top points to consider when choosing the right stainless steel cable railing for your deck. Measure and Plan Before selecting a stainless steel cable railing system, it’s crucial to have accurate measurements of your deck. 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. Professional Installation While stainless steel cable railing systems can be installed by DIY enthusiasts, it’s often recommended to hire a professional for a flawless installation. Experienced installers, like the ones at San Diego Cable Railings, have the necessary expertise and tools to ensure that your railing is secure and meets all safety standards. When it comes to choosing the right stainless steel cable railing for your deck, trust San Diego Cable Railings to provide you with exceptional quality and service.

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.

Stainless Steel Railing Cleaner

Stainless Steel Railing Cleaner is used to protect and maintain stainless steel cables, stainless hardware, and cable railing posts. San Diego Cable Railings recommends regular cleaning of stainless steel cables on all cable railing and fencing projects. Our online store now offers a great product by Enviro-Magic for use as an all purpose cleaner and protectant. Enviro-Magic is a high quality stainless steel cleaner that wipes on and wipes off to clean and create a protective film against the elements. Regular maintenance is an easy way to prevent airborne debris, salt, and contaminants from causing discoloration or corrosion. Stainless steel cleaner works great on bbq’s and refrigerators as well. Depending on your geographic location and the level of salt air or moisture; cleaning of stainless steel cables and components will maximize the durability and beautify the finish of all stainless parts. Keep your cable railings looking new and minimize the effects of environmental conditions on your finishes with a cost effective cleaning solution from San Diego Cable Railings. PRO TIP: When installing your cable railing system you can save time and effort by applying stainless steel railing cleaner as you go. Enlist a helper to apply stainless cleaner to a rag and assist in threading the cables through the railing posts. Have one person feed the cables through the cleaning rag while the other threads the cables through the railing posts. Re apply as necessary and use different parts of the rag to ensure an even application. Our preferred installers have utilized this method on hundreds of installs to beautify and protect our cable railing systems. If you have questions about how to use stainless steel railing cleaner, or would like recommendations on cable railing maintenance please contact our office at 844-277-7327 or submit a quote request at the contact page.
