Cable rails

Installing upscale cable rails on a new deck used to be a DIY challenge. It wasn't easy to collect all the cable, sheaths, thimbles, turn-buckles and whatnot and then cobble together your own system onto wooden 4x4 posts. Now you can buy high-quality components in kit form that not only look fantastic new but also stay looking that way for years—all the parts are made from stainless steel and aluminum.

Fairway Building Products is one company that has put it all together for you. It offers a very sophisticated cable rail attachment and tensioning system along with a finished aluminum post and rail system that's designed to anchor the cable.
