Great video, love the wood post you have in the video. Did you put any paint or code on the pressure treated lumber post? I really like the lumber color in the video. The color looks slightly different from the market pressure treated lumber post.
Yes. We make vertical cable railing: agsstainless.com/rainier-cable-railing/ (scroll down to see vertical infill). With wood posts you would need to have horizontal cross-members to attach the cable through. Good question -- Thank you!
+brooke12839 Hi Brooke, yes it is done all the time. After you remove the spindles you would drill holes in the through the posts and run the cables in. We recommend cable no further than 3" apart.
The fittings and swage settings are designed to deliver a working pull-out load of 200# when using 1/8”, 1x19 stainless steel cable. Unfortunately, we cannot speak to the pull-out capacity when used in any other scenario.
Brad, 'safe' is a subjective word. A better term is 'code-compliant'. If you are asking about a fence, then you can pretty much do whatever you want. However, if we are talking about a guard (protection against a drop off 30" or more), then post spacing, top rail and cable spacing matter. Here are some things to consider when building a code compliant (2015, 2018 IRC) guard: Top rail and posts must resist a 200# point load in any direction; Typical post spacing is around 3'-6" o.c., max; Cable spacing should be less than 4", closer to 3" is typical. Please keep in mind that these are very general parameters and should only be used as a guideline. The particulars of your case may warrant much different details. Please consult and engineer or call us at (888)842-9492.
We also just launched Ready Rail as a ready to ship kit. Most of the kits we sell we factory customize to fit the installation. Obviously, with existing wood wosts that is not needed. Ready Rail - agsstainless.com/shoppingcart/stainless-railing-kits-ready-to-ship
tmahter Canada actually just made them legal in the new National building code for heights under 4.2 m. Besides, most building codes are local/provincial in Canada
