The max space between cable and posts?

The maximum space between cables and posts in a cable railing system depends on various factors, including local building codes, safety standards, and the specific design of the system. However, a common guideline is to maintain a spacing of no more than 4 inches between cables. This helps prevent the risk of small children getting through and ensures the structural integrity and safety of the railing. It's crucial to check and adhere to local regulations and the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific cable railing system.

We recommend the post spacing is 4-5ft.

Yes, cable railing systems can be paired with different materials for a customized look. Common combinations include stainless steel cables with wooden or metal posts.

Surface mount systems attach directly to the surface, while fascia mount systems are fixed to the side of a structure. The choice depends on the specific design and structural considerations of your project.

Can I install a cable railing system myself, or should I hire a professional?

Installation difficulty varies, but it's often achievable for DIYers with basic skills. However, for complex designs or if you're unsure, consulting or hiring a professional is advisable.
