Cable Railing Kit Application

Framework You Will Need for Cable RailingEnd Post ConstructionSince over 200 pounds of tension is being applied to end posts using cable railing, those posts must be substantial enough to handle that tension.

Wood PostsFor wood posts a minimum 4x4 (3½”-square) post is required to keep the post from bending when the cables are tensioned. You will need a top rail, and we recommend that it be reinforced with a support such as a 2x4 on end under the top rail. End posts must be securely mounted to the deck to prevent the post from coming loose when the cables are tensioned. A bottom rail helps distribute the force away from the bottom of the post, but is not required.

Metal PostsFor steel posts, kits are designed for use with 1½”x1½” square and 2”x2” square tube. End posts will need to be a minimum 1/4” wall to handle the load when the cables are tensioned; intermediates can be 1/8”. As with wood posts, you will need a top rail, but that is sufficient for structural integrity. For aluminum, your end posts should be reinforced and you may want to consider a bottom rail to help prevent post-bowing.

Of course, secure mounting of the posts to the deck is just as important with metal posts as wood, and as important with end posts as intermediates.

Intermediate posts between end and corner postsTo keep the cable from spreading beyond IBC code requirements, we recommend that the cable be supported in some manner no more than every 48” along its run. Intermediate posts, through which the cable is strung, act as supports for the cable. To avoid having to use more intermediate posts than is structurally necessary, a thin metal cable brace with holes for the cables to pass through can be used to support the cables (see illustrations). A typical cable brace is either 3/4” x 3/4” aluminum tube or 1/4” thick by 1” wide stainless steel flat bar and is ordered separately.

Cable spacing on your postsWe recommend that you space the cables with no more than a 3” clear span between the cables (see illustrations). For example, if you are using 1/8” diameter cable, you would drill your holes on center no more than 3-1/8” apart.

Frame must support enough tension to keep cables taut (will vary with wood used).

Decks come in all shapes and sizes, but there are only a few types of cable runs that go on those decks: face-mounted and through-the-post. The following illustrations represent several ways you can run cable on your deck. Every run will require a fitting that will act to tension the cable once installed. Depending on the length of the run, the tensioning device in the kit, and whether you plan to bend the cable through a corner, you will either

Your Deck Typebe able to use a non-tensioning Push-Lock® or Pull-Lock® on the other end or you will need to use a Push-Lock® tensioner on the other end.The VIP RunYou will see that Run #1 on each drawing is the “view run” — the one that is most important, most visible of all your runs. It’s the one on which you want to have the least interference with the view, so you always start with that run and build around it.

Through-the-Post Mount

Decks 1 and 2 have dedicated end posts for each run, and the posts are situated such that the back side of the posts are all accessible, meaning you can use a through-the-post configuration. This is both the most economical solution and where the fittings are least visible. For wood posts, use the 262 Series. The tensioning device is a 3½” long Invisiware® Receiver, which installs through the wood post on one end. A Pull-Lock® fitting is installed through the other end.

For 1-1/2” metal square tube, use the 212 Series. For 2” square tube, use the 232 Series. For 2-3/8” square tube, use the 224 Series. The tensioning device is, respectively, a 1½”, 2”, or 2-3/8” long Invisiware® Receiver, which installs flush-through the tube on one end. A same-length Pull-Lock® fitting is installed flush-through the other end.

When taking cable railing through a corner, do not bend the cable past 45⁰ at any one time. If turning 90⁰, a 2-step turn using a double corner post configuration is required as illustrated in Deck 2.

Deck 2

A through-the-post configuration is the only scenario in which the economical threaded stud kits may be used. The threaded stud kits are even more economical than the 200 series, but the threaded studs are a basic, functional fitting, not a hide-in-the-post solution. A brass hex nut and some metal thread (both covered by an end cap) will extend beyond the back of the post on one end. A Pull-Lock® fitting is installed through the other end.

For either wood or metal posts, use the 102 Series.The tensioning device is a 2-7/8” long threaded stud which installs on the back side of one end post, as shown in Deck 1.

Deck 1 has only one end post at the corners. The posts next to the house butt right up to it so the back sides of those posts are not accessible. Run #1 is still through-the-post, so it will take a Series 262 kit (for wood posts) or a 200 Series kit (for metal posts). Runs #2 and #3 connect to the face of the corner post going back toward the house to keep the cables on the same plane. They also connect to the face of the posts next to the house as well.

For wood posts, use the 300 Series. The tensioning device is an Adjust-a-Body® with Hanger Bolt, which lags into the wood post on one end. A Push-Lock® Lag is lagged into the other end.

For metal posts, use the 401 Series. The tensioning device is an Adjust-a-Body® with Threaded Bolt, which threads into the metal post on one end. A Push-Lock® Threaded Bolt is threaded into the other end.

Deck 1 has wood posts with composite sleeves. For sleeved posts, the recommended approach is face-mount for the best finished look. Since Deck 1 has only one end post at the corners, there is no bending of the cable through those posts. Each run must be start and stop. All three runs use the same kit.

For wood posts with composite sleeves having an outside diameter of 4-1/2” or greater, use the 300-C Series: The tensioning device is an Adjust-a-Body® with Extended Length Hanger Bolt, which lags into the wood post on one end. A Push-Lock® Lag is lagged into the other end.For wood posts with composite sleeves having an outside diameter of 4-1/2” or less, use the standard 300 Series.

Cable Runs on a Pitch

Series 262

Series 102

Through-the-Post Mount Wood Posts

The cleanest approach to running cable on a pitch is to drill through both end both posts on the square (NOT at the angle of the stairs). No beveled washers necessary. Only intermediate posts need to be drilled on the angle of the stairs.

For wood posts, use the 262 Series. The tensioning device is a 3½” long Invisiware®

Receiver, which installs through the wood post on one end. A Pull-Lock® fitting is installed through the other end with a post protector tube (CS-TUBE), ordered separately. The 262 Series can be used to go up a stair and across a landing by inserting post protector tubes in the break-over post. The tube will prevent the cable from carving a groove into your post where it exits at an angle.

The cleanest approach to running cable on a pitch is to drill through both end both posts on the square (NOT at the angle of the stairs). No beveled washers necessary*. Only intermediate posts need to be drilled on the angle of the stairs.*Not true for flat bar, which still needs to be drilled on the angle, requiring beveled washers.

For 1-1/2” metal square tube, use the 232 Series with 1/2" spacers. For 2” square tube, use the 232 Series. For 2-3/8” square tube, use the 224 Series. The tensioning device is respectively: a 2" long Receiver (and spacer, ordered separately) for the 212 Series stairs, a 2" Receiver for the 232 Series, and a 2-3/8" Receiver for the 224 Series, each of which install through the metal post on one end.

Top posts are often corner posts, which may require the stair run to connect to the face of the post. The top and bottom of the cable run would be connected perpendicular to those posts, and only the intermediate posts would be drilled on the angle for the cable to run through.

Use the 500 Series for any type of post: for wood posts, use the 500-W Series; for metal posts, use the 500-M series; for sleeved posts with an outside diameter greater than 4½”, use the 500-C series.The tensioning device is an Adjust-a-Body® with Threaded Eye, which attaches via a mounting screw to the lag eye, threaded tab, or extended length lag eye, depending on the kit. A Push-Lock® with Threaded Eye attaches the same way to the other end.

500-W SeriesThe 500-W Series can be used to go up a stair and across a landing by inserting post protector tubes (order CS-TUBE separately) in the break-over post. The tube will prevent the cable from carving a groove into your post where it exits at an angle.
