Cable Railing Kit

Seven years ago, we had a deck built and we installed our own cable "railings." At the time, there weren't very many products out there available to the average consumer who wanted to DIY their own cables. The system we used had bolts that were secured by nuts on the other side of the 4x4 posts. It was not a good look as the bolts were all different lengths. Yesterday, we cut the cables and installed these instead. Not only are the cables MUCH tighter, but they look so much more professional! Make sure you have enough cable inserted into the sleeve and that you crimp in at least 3 places before tightening. Also, as one other reviewer pointed out, the turnbuckle needs to be almost all the way open to get the tightest possible cable.

Great products and easy to use

worked great on our deck! easy to use and install

Nice but difficult to set up

I built a cable railing for a deck. This cable run was ~45' with double posts on 3 corners and 10 strands of cable. This product was great for this purpose. It was easy to anchor and easy to install. It tightened the cable strands sufficiently by putting a manual pull with channel locks on each longer (~16') run. I might have given it a five star sweep had the anchoring screws been longer to boost my confidence. I really like the more discreet look of this system. I have built other, cable deck railings using larger turnbuckles. They left exposed cable ends that I view as unsightly and potentially a problem for toddlers. I wish there was an install video or at least instructions for this product although it is intuitive when installing.

I did some stairs in a garage that led to a game room overhead and used these for cable railing. I have used much more expensive ones with steel posts and prettier connections but these worked great in this situation.

Sturdy and aesthetically perfect for a cable railing system. Easy to use.

Nice product. Easy to install. Sturdy. Love the look of our deck.

Easy to use and they look great. I've installed these 3 years ago on my deck and they still look brand new, even after 3 Quebec winters.

Was as expected! Tightened cables to piano tight! Manually crimped which was a workout! Hydraulic crimper would have helped for sure. Haven’t tried any WWF moves against the ropes yet but just finished today!
