Architectural cable railings are a great way to practically accent your yard’s landscaping and hardscaping.
Architectural cable railings are a great way to practically accent your yard’s landscaping and hardscaping. Instead of using pickets, spindles, mesh, or other types of fencing materials to fill in the space between your fence posts, experiment with cable railings instead.
Before You Choose Architectural Cable Railings
Before you make your final decision, you ought to know that the posts are very important in fences with architectural cable railings. Since the posts are being pulled in both directions by the cables attached to them, they will need to be very strong and properly installed to stand up to the pressure. Work with your fence expert at Hercules Custom Iron to ensure that the cable tension, post spacing, cable diameter, and rail cap material are all properly designed and installed for architectural cable railings.
Also, take the time to check your local and state building codes before adding architectural cable railings to your home or business. Some municipalities do not allow horizontal railings to replace traditional vertical railings.
The Benefits of Architectural Cable Railings
Unlike traditional railings, architectural cable railings:
- Provide you with an unobstructed view of your landscaping thanks to the thin lines instead of thick spindles or pickets
- Are more modern than traditional railings, so they are a perfect match for more modern and contemporary interior and exterior designs
- Make your indoor and outdoor space feel more spacious thanks to their thin and elegant appearance
- Allow breezes to slip through, so your outdoor porch or patio will still be a lovely place to react in the spring or summer
- Are safer for animals and birds, as they can better see what they are flying at or into (unlike with glass railings)
- Can have snow removed from them very easily, because it will not be able to rest on top of them
- Are able to be used in countless different interior and exterior applications like balconies, decks, walkways, patios, or other platforms
