Learn about the advantages of cable railings.
Installing a Conventional Cable Railing System
For most cable railing systems, you will need to use a variety of tools including a drill, cable cutters, hammer, adjustable wrench, bar clamps, nut drivers, and a saw for the wooden frame. Before installing cables, a wooden frame will need to be constructed for the cables to be mounted to. This frame includes rails, posts, and sub-rails, each cut to different measurements. The construction of this frame takes a considerable amount of time and may be difficult to complete for some homeowners. Conventional cable systems also tend to require you to drill holes into each wooden post at precise intervals, leaving little margin for error. Cables will then need to be crimped to place attachments on each end, further increasing installation time. In most cases, you will need to hire a professional to install a cable railing system. This will ensure ideal results, but it will take longer and cost more as a result.
Installing a Vista Cable Railing System
Vista’s cable railing system is designed for simple, efficient, and hassle-free installation. Each system also requires fewer tools, reducing costs while making them more accessible to all levels of proficiency. Our system features pre-drilled and pre-threaded posts to simplify the assembly process. Swag-less hardware ensures that there is no need for crimping cables and placing attachments onto each end. Instead, cables simply need to be trimmed and inserted into the assembled hardware. Pre-assembled posts accelerate the process, allowing you to finish the job and enjoy the view in less time.
