Designing a Wood Railing With Cable as an In-Fill

There are eight considerations in designing a railing with cable in-fill:

1. Construction and location of your end posts
2. Configuration of any corners in your design
3. Location of intermediate posts
4. Location of additional cable supports
5. Cable diameter to use
6. Whether to cut cables and put fittings on in the field or use factory cut cables
7. Selection of appropriate hardware

These issues are addressed in our publication Designing A Wood Railing With Cable as an In-Fill.
