316 Stainless Cable Railing
Axiom South 316 stainless cable railing supplies marine-grade cable, end fittings and tensioners for deck and stair railing in coastal and salt-air locations.
About 316 Stainless Cable Railing
Axiom South's 316 stainless cable railing package is built around 316 marine-grade stainless steel cable, chosen for salt air and humidity, with stainless end fittings and tensioners. Cable comes in 1/8 in, 3/16 in and 1/4 in diameters, and we quote to 36 in or 42 in rail heights.
Cable and fittings are sold separately from posts, so the package works with wood, aluminum, steel and other post materials. That lets you keep the post system you prefer, or match an existing deck, and still get stainless cable infill. Tensioned cable loads the end and corner posts, so we review post size and spacing before quoting rather than after the order ships.
This is a fit for deck and stair railing anywhere views matter, especially on coastal homes. For an itemized quote, send the length of each run, the number of corners and stair sections, rail height, cable diameter if you have a preference, and your post material and spacing. Fittings are counted per run, corner and stair section. We supply the materials and can connect you with trusted local installers, and we ship nationwide.
