The cable feels very different as the support spacing increases so we try to keep that 4 ft. or under. That could be posts only or posts with something smaller between them which we have labeled "Spreader" since we are in a boating area. Took these shots not far from our shop with Mt. Rainier in the background looking to the southeast.
We have set photos in a reduced size to fit two side by side. In most cases if they have a colored (usually blue, depends on your settings)border you can click on any photo to take you to a larger version to see more detail. Use the "Back" button in the upper left of your screen to return to this page from the enlarged photo.
The links at the top or bottom will take you back to the Home Page or Cable Thumbnail page.

The spreader we use is polished stainless tubing 1"O.D.x .065 and the bases are cast and polished stainless. The O.D. of the base is 2-3/4". They can enhance the look of a new or remodeled deck, open up the view a little, help stabilize the top rail and of course keep the cables in position vertically which is the primary purpose. Photo below shows two installations, one in a private gym and another on an outside deck. Both applications look very nice and add to the overall look of the installation.
