804 M4 stainless steel cable railing
Horizontal cable railing
Horizontal cable railings (where the cables extend horizontally to the deck base or floor) are the most common form of view-enhancing railings available. By removing railings and other obstacles from the railings, the view can be greatly enhanced while still proving safety and aesthetics. When building a cable railing system, like a structural column, a top rail is always required, so you want to optimize the small amount of hardware used by making it stainless steel. The installation method of the top rail should always allow the top rail to absorb and deflect the pressure exerted when the cable is tightened. The best practice is to fix the top rail between the pillars instead of simply placing the rail on top of the pillars.

Comparison of metal cable guardrail and wooden cable guardrail system
As long as the rail can withstand the necessary tension, wood or metal can be used. It only depends on the desired appearance. Wood gives a warm, earthy feel, while metal gives an industrial atmosphere. Atlantis Railing System offers several systems that combine wooden and stainless steel cables. We encourage creative cable railing designs to enhance stainless steel railing components.
