Easy to use and a great cable railing for a deck on a lake! Took down balusters and replaced with cable railing. Now a great view and a great look!

Excellent buy for the money
Time is money and this saved both! Great look! Easy install! We made a story board, drilled all the post and a 192 crimps later we had what we wanted. Well worth the investment!

The railing looks beautiful
To be 100% honest I am very satisfied. It looks sharp. Being a DYI It took me a couple weeks to install. Again, the quality I thought was great.

Accurate measurement of angles is essential for many cable stair railing projects, including stair railing design, woodworking, metalworking, and home renovation. Precise measurement ensures the proper alignment and fit of the railing components, resulting in a sturdy and visually appealing installation. Additionally, accurate measurements save time and materials by minimizing errors and waste, leading to a more efficient and cost-effective project execution. We have a blog on How to measure stair angles. In this blog, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to measure stair and slope angles using your smartphone's "Measure" app.
Basically, you will need some cable railing fittings and stainless steel cable. The quantity depends on the dimensions of your project. In almost all cases, you will need a hydraulic crimper to swage the fittings so the cable could be fixed firmly. Unless your fittings are swageless.
The 4 Inch Sphere Rule refers to naturally occurring gaps and spaces within a railing system. The rule states that a 4” sphere should be unable to pass through any gap in a railing system. This is why posts are drilled with holes 3 center-to-center, to avoid any deflection exceeding 4 inches. In the same way, the longer the distance between the wire ropes, the easier it is for the 4" sphere to pass through the wire rope if there is no intermediate post to hold the wire rope.
