Adding Cable Railing to a Deck - Building a Deck 3 of 3

My wife has been asking me for years to build a deck on the back of our house [Part 3]. In this video, I show you the steps I took to add cable railing to our deck. Some of the railing systems can be very expensive, but I was able to piece together a system that worked well for us at a much lower cost. Look below for Links to some of the products and tools.
Now some of the codes in my area might be different than in your area, so please always check the requirements before you start building.

Dude. You didn't show how to install cables and hardware or did I miss something?

[@larrymeares2240]

Awesome job! I was thinking about going with the aluminum railing system until I saw your video. Looks easy enough and possible less expensive. Don’t the code require additional non bearing posts on the 16’ run? Keep up the good work.

[@SpecificLove7]

Codes are different depending on your location so definitely check with them first

[@davemeiser521]

Nice project hope you enjoy it for years to come.
Are you planning on staining the deck? and if so is it going to be a lot of work to mask off the cable? also did you have to fill in the corners or is that space less than 4 inches?

[@SpecificLove7]

The corners are less than 4 inches, so we are good there. As for staining, we might reseal it in 6 months to a year. But that is a very good question about masking the cable when staining. I guess that is one of the downsides of using this system.

[@Shellyfrose]

Looks awesome but..how do you run the cable around the corners like from the deck down the stairs?

[@SpecificLove7]

At each corner there is a anchor point, it doesn't go through

[@inspiringbuilds]

Looks great and nice details, the template helps for sure! Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others. 👍🏼

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you. The template definitely made everything much easier.

[@TheLightHouseLady]

WOW, that is really different! I really like the looks of the cable. Look forward to your next project.

[@SpecificLove7]

It definitely is different, and we love it

[@shaneridge9557]

That cable system is really interesting the way I usually do cable railings is use eye bolts and form a loop with the cable into a crimp. Each section or face of the deck has a lag on one side and a through bolt with a nut and washer through the post so corners don't need an offset but this looks really clean. Also my way is way messier since you have to trim the cable with an angle grinder
