Absolutely Brilliant, i enjoyed all 3 episodes and i have to say the Deck looks Fantastic, your wife has been asking or nagging whichever comes first, for you to build a deck and now that it's done, i hope she thanked you in a nice way ha ha ha. Well Done again and again a Fantastic Build. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)
Thank you very much Barry. My wife is very happy to have a deck now. She now has plans for me to build furniture for it. 😮 Well I should have expected that 😁
That cable system is really interesting the way I usually do cable railings is use eye bolts and form a loop with the cable into a crimp. Each section or face of the deck has a lag on one side and a through bolt with a nut and washer through the post so corners don't need an offset but this looks really clean. Also my way is way messier since you have to trim the cable with an angle grinder
Awesome job! I was thinking about going with the aluminum railing system until I saw your video. Looks easy enough and possible less expensive. Don’t the code require additional non bearing posts on the 16’ run? Keep up the good work.
Nice project hope you enjoy it for years to come. Are you planning on staining the deck? and if so is it going to be a lot of work to mask off the cable? also did you have to fill in the corners or is that space less than 4 inches?
The corners are less than 4 inches, so we are good there. As for staining, we might reseal it in 6 months to a year. But that is a very good question about masking the cable when staining. I guess that is one of the downsides of using this system.
