Tips

1. Ensure that your posts and handrails are properly installed before your start cable installation.
2. You may need to buy some spare materials in case some materials may not be reusable after operation mistakes.
3. The recommended post spacing between two posts is 3ft-4ft, no more than 4ft.
4. The overall height of the railing (including the handrail) should be equal to or higher than 36″ to meet the residential building codes of most states.
5. 3″ cable spacing and 200 lbs tension on each cable line is recommended to pass the 4″ sphere test (required by some states). You can buy a tension gauge online or from local stores.
