The Prairie Style Cable Railing

Prairie Cable Rail Designs

The Prairie Style cable railing was designed to complement Craftsmen style architecture.  Many cable railings are designed to look modern. We realize that too modern may not fit your architectural style. The Prairie Style is characterized by strong horizontal and vertical lines, solid construction, craftsmanship, and disciplined use of ornament.

  • Prairie Style cable railings are available in 36″ and 42″ high versions as well as custom heights.
  • The railing posts can be fascia mounted or surface mounted. Custom mounting is an option as well to fit any situation.
  • We offer Prairie Style posts in double powder-coated steel, hot-dip galvanized steel, clear anodized aluminum, and brushed stainless steel.
  • We provide a custom design and rendering service to help you visualize the finished railing on your site.
  • We design custom railings to fit your unique application so they are fast and easy to install. Many railing kits look like an afterthought. We will make sure your railing looks like it was designed to be there from the beginning.
  • All our railings are designed and built by our craftsmen right here in the USA. We make every effort to source supplies from US-based companies and use recycled materials wherever possible.
  • Our easy installation guide in 5 easy steps is available here.

Example Projects

Helping you accurately visualize your project is very important to us. As part of our process, we create realistic renderings that ensure you can fully visualize all aspects of the design. This is especially important on stairs and transitions between multi-level decks. Through good design, we eliminate the expensive, often unattractive on-site improvising that our competitors’ products typically require. We communicate this to you via renderings and “fly throughs,” our web-based, real-time 3D design reviews.
