FAQs
Will CableRail pass code?
Building code varies by location, it is best to check with your local building department before installing or updating your deck.
How far apart should I space my cables?
It is recommended spacing cables no more than 3 inches apart. The International Building Code states that a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through any opening in your railing, and since cable is non-rigid, the flex of the cable must be taken into account.
How far apart should I space my posts?
It is recommended to have a post or intermediate picket at least every 3 feet. This combined with cables spaced 3 inches apart, enables the cables to be tensioned such that they won't open past the 4-inch sphere code requirement.
