Demension Drawing Request

● Start by taking measurements of the area you would like cable railing for

● Measure the length of each side of the space, rounding to the nearest foot

● Mark the area, length and angle of the staircase, as well as the number of steps

For multi-level staircases, use arrows to indicate the direction of the staircase
Also measure and mark the gap width between the corners of multi-level staircases

● Be sure to note any corners and complete a simple, labeled sketch of your space

● The handwriting sketch should be clear enough for designer understanding

● Please upload some photos of your project if you could. That will be helpful for cable railing design

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need a permit to install a cable railing system?

Yes, in many areas, you may need a permit. International Building Code (IBC) & International Residential Code (IRC)

● Cable spacing: Must prevent a 4-inch sphere from passing through (IBC 1015.4).

This typically means cable spacing of 3 to 3.25 inches apart, accounting for deflection.

● Post spacing: Typically 4 to 6 feet apart to maintain proper cable tension and prevent excessive deflection.

● Handrail height:
Residential: 36 inches minimum (IRC R311.7.8).
Commercial: 42 inches minimum (IBC 1015.3).

2.Can I install cable railing myself?

Yes, Senmit cable railing kits are designed for DIY installation and come with clear instructions. However, some knowledge of basic carpentry or metalworking tools is required. Professional installation might be recommended for more complex projects.

3. What are the basic tools required for installing cable railing?

Hydraulic Crimper: Used to crimp the cable railing fittings.

Screwdriver or Electric Screwdriver: Used to tighten screws and secure the installation components.

Cable Cutters: Specifically designed to cut steel cables to the desired length.

Tensioning Tools: Used to adjust the tension of the cables, ensuring they are secure and meet safety standards.

Level: Ensures that the posts and cables are installed evenly and are not tilted.

Measuring Tape: For accurately measuring the distance between posts and the length of cables.

Hammer: Used to gently tap and adjust posts or components during installation.

Pencil or Marker: For marking where holes need to be drilled to ensure precise placement.

Safety Gear: Includes gloves, safety glasses, etc., to ensure safety during the installation process.

5. What is the recommended Post Spacing?

It is generally recommended to keep the spacing within 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) to prevent excessive bending of the cables and ensure the railing's stability.

For high-tension cables, the spacing can be extended to 5–6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters).
