John: it looks fantastic! I told Curt we should do this on our back deck!

[@LakeLotBuild]

Absolutely! It preserves the view. Let us know if you need help!

[@davidsamples5575]

looks really good John

[@ArnieD17]

Agree cabling is the way to go.

[@Pond_life]

Looks Great!

[@thetechpastor]

That looks good. Were you required to meet any code requirements for tension? Spacing I would assume is 4”
Thanks for showing how you did this.

[@LakeLotBuild]

Correct! We used 4" spacing for all cable and from top rail to concrete.

[@timothyfulco]

What color are you going to paint the railing?

[@LakeLotBuild]

Right now the railing is clear coated. If we don't like it, we will paint it black but we are liking the rust patina.

Your cable clamps are on wrong. The saddle should be on the live cable.(the one under tension) the saying is "never saddle a dead horse."

[@cameronmcfarland5520]

Might be why they're twisting

[@cameronmcfarland5520]

And some heat shrink might tidy up the loose ends

[@LakeLotBuild]

I'm sure you're right. We will have to address that.

[@porthosmann]

I hate to tell you, but you are putting the cable clamps on backwards, the saddle goes on the live end

[@LakeLotBuild]

Well dang! I will have to check those.
