This is a nice example of what a little creativity from the deck contractor will do for your deck if using cable. Note the connections
done in the stone wall. This was a cinder block wall filled with concrete and stone added to the face. A decisions was made to drill into
the center of the wall using epoxy to secure the anchor bolt with an "Eye Nut" on the exterior for the cable attachment. Cable end is called
a "Yoke" or "Deck Toggle Jaw" if you are thinking marine applications. End result is clean and was the correct thing to use. Balance of
project used the more normal "Threaded Stud" with a possible "Dome End" for rest of cable end fittings. This project is shown in some trade
publications. The cable nicely accents the quality woodwork on the deck and the pool. End result is a simple elegance that the home owners can
enjoy for a long time. Winds can blow through, no glass to clean and there is minimal vision obstruction. A very natural "Green" look.
Looks like time for dinner at poolside.

Note the use of our stainless spreader between the structural 4 x 4 posts. They are primarily used for keeping the cable in position
between the posts plus opening up the view a little and add a very nice accent to the job as seen in a lot of the photos. Use of the
"Eye Nut" was tested in our facility and proved to be fine for this application.

Note the stairs below before and after cable. See how the bottom post was set away from the last riser so the cable could "Flow" on through coming out at
the same height above the landing walking surface as on the main deck walking surface. In this case the cable was started and stopped at the 90 deg.
corner and then went on down the stairs.
