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!
