Stainless Steel Wire Rope a nice addition to your decking project
If you are need of some material that offers a sleak design and a unencumbered view of your surroundings than I suggest you check out the Vanguard Cable Kit that is offered by our sister company Stainless Steel Direct. This design allows you to use stainless steel turnbuckles along with stainless steel wire rope to use as infill between your vertical wood posts. Not only is it stainless steel but it’s 316 Marine Grade stainless which is one of the best grades of stainless on the marketplace. The Vanguard Cable Kit system is not only beautiful but its meant for the do it yourselfer who wants to add some modern tastes to their deck railing system. The Vanguard is simple to install as all you need to assemble is a few simple hand tools. All you need to do is attach the turnbuckles to your wood posts with the three stainless steel screws that are provided with each turnbuckle and then attach your stainless steel wire rope by inserting it into the turnbuckle and then thread it into place as this puts the tension on the wire. A helpful tip to consider before starting is to mark your posts before hand with a dark marker measuring the distance between your turnbuckles so they are the same distance on each post. This keeps your wire perfectly distanced between each other when you go to install. You don’t need to put turnbuckles at every post if you don’t want to as you can simply drill through the posts and run your wire through and continue on. We do recommend that this only be done on runs that are straight and no longer than 25ft in length. The turnbuckles will swivel on a 45% for off set posts. It is recommended when you change direct such as a 90% you terminate the run of wire and start a new run using the RailEasy Turnbuckles. Keep in mind that each run of wire requires two turnbuckles for termination on the starting and termination of each run of wire. On the Stainless Steel Direct website they have designed a handy calculator that allows you to enter in your spans between your posts in lineal feet as well as the number of runs of wire rope you are wanting to put in. It calculates based on what you enter in and provides a final price for your project. It even allows you to change the calculation at the end if you want to over ride what the calculation indicated you need.
An important note about this system that you should consider before purchasing is that horizontal wire rope on flat landings may not pass your local building code because the wire is deemed “climbable” so I would suggest if your having your project inspected you consult with your local building inspector before purchasing this system.
