Tips
- Ensure that your posts and handrail are properly installed before you start cable installation.
- You might have to buy more materials than expected in case some materials might not be reusable after operation mistakes.
- The recommended post spacing between two posts is 3ft-4ft, no more than 4ft.
- The overall height of the railing (including the handrail) should be equal or higher than 36″ to meet the residential building codes of most states.
- 3″ cable spacing and 200 lbs tension on each cable line is recommended in order to pass the 4″ sphere test (required by some states). You can buy a tension gauge online or from local stores.
