This guide covers metal frames for horizontally run cables. For vertically run cables, see our “Vertical Railings” publication. Table of content: Cable Applications. Cable Minimum Breaking Strengths. Design Parameters and Constraints. Railing Frame Components Material Specifications. Horizontal Railings Descriptions/Drawings, Double End Post Construction. Square Tubing. Round Pipe and Steel Tubing. End Post Using Structural Tees. Other Frame Materials. Tubed Corner Sections. Stair Rail Aids. Stair Rail End Posts.

Any of our standard sizes of cable can be special-ordered with a PVC coating to any standard color. Using coated cable may require special hardware and hole specifications for frame components that differ from those shown in our design guides, boring diagrams, and other publications. The 1×19 construction stainless steel strand (cable) is smooth to the touch and does not fray as easily as some other constructions, so there is no need to coat it for the purpose of creating a smooth, protective surface on the cable. The next variable is the diameter of the cable. We feel 1/8″ cable is too near the limits of the cable breaking strength and holding strength of the cable fittings when the cable is properly tensioned and then subjected to abuse, such as a heavy set person bouncing on one of the cables. We recommend 1/8″ cable be used only in an area that is unlikely to experience pedestrian traffic. The last variable is the tension of the cables and the construction of posts to which mounting and tensioning hardware is attached. Top and bottom rails are necessary in a vertical railing using cable, because mounting and tensioning hardware is attached to top and bottom rails instead of end posts.
