Cable Railing

Cable railing uses thin horizontal or vertical steel cables between posts to create a guard that keeps views open. It is popular on waterfront decks, balconies, stairs and modern homes where owners do not want thick balusters blocking the scenery. Cable works with wood, steel and aluminum posts and suits both residential and commercial projects. Along the coast, 316 stainless steel is commonly chosen because it handles salt air better than lower grades.

This page includes Axiom South Cable Railing in 316 Stainless and in Black Cable & Black Hardware, plus Vista Cable, Trex Signature X-Series Cable & Frameless Glass, Deckorators Contemporary Cable Railing and Continuous Top Rail, and Feeney CableRail Kits & Components. Stainless gives a bright, classic look, while black cable and hardware blend into dark posts. Kits simplify ordering, and component systems allow custom layouts. Cable needs proper tensioning and post spacing, so check local code and the manufacturer's installation guide.
