Tips
- Ensure that your posts and handrails are properly installed before you start cable installation.
- You may need to buy some spare materials in case some materials may not be reusable after operation mistakes.
- The recommended post spacing between two posts is 3ft-4ft, no more than 4ft. For our 6’6″ handrails, it would be best to use 3’3″ post spacing.
- 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.
- 3″ cable spacing and 200 lbs tension on each cable line are recommended to pass the 4″ sphere test (required by some states). You can buy a tension gauge online or from local stores.
