Overall dimensions of our Keuka Style cable rail post. 36" high rails are usually used in residential applications howevr some building code jurisdictions require 42" high rails in some circumstances. Check with your local building codes.

In some cases the cables can "run around" a corner, in others they should stop at a corner. This is determined by looking at the length of each cable run and trying to break it up into manageable sections. In most cases it is not advisable to have any run longer than 45-50'.

Showing the cable flowing through a corner and running corner to corner on the same deck.

Large deck with several hundred posts with 30 different posts designs to accomodate ramps, stairs, gates, mounting configurations, odd corner angles etc.

Posts installed on a curved edge of a deck provide a dramatic affect.
|
Special posts are required for stairs to accomodate various angles. Also notice how this deck uses cable spacers between the posts to allow larger post spacing. This can both reduce visual mass and cost.
|
Here a custom corner was needed to support a matching walk gate and to account for the slight jog in the adjoining deck. This type of post adds cost and could be avoided if the cable railing were planned while designing the deck.
|
Large deck with octagons.

Note, each start and stop poing requires a heavier duty "End Post".
