ferrule??I am biding a TimberTech job where the Wallet wants cable rail. I just cant see it seems like there is enough movement in the wire to rout out the holes in the post wrap. Still thinking. J.
That's where I'm at John, I don't want to loose a gravy job over cable rails. Mays well learn how to do it.Thanks Guys, I really should do what the Wallet wants.Will defentley look closer. J.
I see from looking at your site you've done a good bit of cable rails, very nice looking rails.Cable rail is very easy to install but it can get tricky for stairs. We use Feeney also with a few Atlantis systems here and there. They do sell sleeves. I would recommend it if you have a softer wood or angles.
We normally use ten rows spaced 3 1/4". Check with your county if it is allowed. We have only two counties in my area that approves the horizontal cable system.

I'm not Clemens, but I always double post my corners, regardless of the railing type.I see from looking at your site you've done a good bit of cable rails, very nice looking rails.
Do you always or just perfer to double post the corners? Besides the look I'm guessing another reason, ease of streching cable maybe.
I've seen the cable rails around so I'm guessing it's allowed here, something I should check on even tho this job is out in the country & no juridiction there. Travis county permits are a joke, all they do is check to see if the deck is in the flood plane, if not here's your permit for 50 bucks, no inspections of any sort.
A couple of more questions, why the tighter spacing, the 3 1/4"? Do you think you need a sleeve if using ipe 4x4's w/holes?
I'm going to retract my thoughts, before I even share them.I pluged the price in over the phone they were sucking air so hard there next breath came hard. I figured in using composite post wraps shimed inside and the metal sleaves with washers 3'' oc cable rail on 36'' high, earthwood TT with the clips.
You would have thought I sugested wanting to eat there first born,total ungule delam on the price. They both got on speaker to tell me what I rip off I was trying to be. Guatta Love It JonMon
