Centrally place the short side of an L-bracket onto the mark and fix the bracket to each deck post using two 25mm screws. Place your railing onto the fixed post L-brackets and secure the underside of the top rail using two 25mm screws. Use another L-bracket to fix the bottom rail to the deck posts.

Even with little maintenance, cable railings will last for years and look great. They are incredibly strong and safe for even the highest balconies and decks.

Any raised deck project more than 300mm high will require a balustrade, with a handrail of no less than 1100mm height from the floor or parapet wall, where the parapet creates a step. On top of this, if the steps leading to your decking are 1 metre wide, you will need to install hand railing on each side of the stairs.

Codes keep people and animals safe, particularly when it comes to elevated decks. A cable railing system is a code-compliant railing that offers an aesthetic advantage with limited visual disruption compared to other railing options.
