Railing Design Tips for CableRail
SELECT YOUR CORNER TYPE Double corner posts (recommended for wood and metal posts only) allow cables to either run continuously through a corner, requiring fewer fittings, or to easily terminate. SELECT YOUR POST MATERIAL CableRail infill works on railing frames with wood, metal, or composite-sleeved wood posts in either indoor or outdoor settings. WOOD METAL COMPOSITE

Single corner posts (recommended for composite-sleeved wood posts) are also an option and typically require the cables to terminate at the corner. (To use a single corner with CableRail Kits, one run will be offset by 1/2").
SELECT YOUR PICKET TYPE Slender intermediate pickets may be used instead of some bulkier intermediate posts to achieve a more open railing design while maintaining proper cable spacing. (For picket options see Page 30)
DESIGN TOP AND BOTTOM RAIL Always include a strong, rigid, securely fastened top rail to provide necessary strength to the frame and help support the cable tension loads. Underneath the top rail, attach a minimum 1" x 4" wood blocking between posts to provide additional lateral reinforcement to the posts. Bottom rails (optional) add rigidity to railing and can be an attractive and functional foot- rest addition to railing designs.
