Cable railing comparison with the same frame done in glass and pickets several years earlier on a neighboring home.

We installed this brown railing on a two sided deck adjacent to another home we had done several years before in glass and pickets. You can see a lot of detail in one photo. The white frame is done in glass and pickets with fire egress gates in the upper deck railing. The brown railing is done in the same heavy frame using our normal marine grade 1/8" cable. We used our CA1010 assembly which has one factory installed stud and one field installed stud.

The following photos show more of the same job. The cable is less maintenance and allows the breeze to flow easily without any hotspots on the deck from the sun, but does provide less of a windbreak for those needing it. Glass and cable can be mixed on the same job if needed to provide a windbreak or privacy screen with the rest of the deck in cable for less maintenance and more air movement. Each application is a little different. The brown color of the frame was chosen to match the house trim and it turned out nicely. The frame fits in well and the cable allows a great view of the surroundings.
