Cable for Wood-Metal Systems
Sub Categories
Cable for Wood-Metal Systems blends natural warmth with industrial durability, creating versatile railing solutions for decks, balconies, and staircases. These systems combine 316 marine-grade stainless steel cables with either wood or metal posts, offering:
-
Material Flexibility: Compatible with cedar, ipe, or pressure-treated wood posts, as well as aluminum/steel frames
-
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel cables withstand coastal and harsh climates
-
Easy Installation: Concealed tensioners (like Cable Bullet or DriveTite kits) simplify DIY setups
-
Code Compliance: ≤3-1/8" cable spacing meets IRC/ICC standards
Wood posts require seasonal tension adjustments due to expansion, while metal posts offer lower maintenance. Popular kits (RailFX, DeckWise, Muzata) include pass-through hardware to minimize connector costs.
