Cable Infill, Square Posts and Flat Top Rail

Stranded Cable Infill

Slender metal cables span between the posts and connect through end fittings. Cable infill leaves an open view between the supporting members; it is a different assembly from a glass panel held by point fixings.

Square Posts and Flat Rectangular Rail

The selected post section is 50 × 50 × 2 mm, with a 50 × 25 × 2 mm rectangular top rail. Stair runs follow the surveyed incline, while landing sections use their own level geometry and connection details.

Terminals, Supports and Mounting Interfaces

End terminals, intermediate supports, posts and their anchors work as one assembly. Identify the cable route, tensioning ends, rail joints and mounting interface on the same drawing revision so the quotation covers the intended system.

Stainless Steel Railing Material and Finishes

Group cable-infill railing reference with square posts, rectangular rail and separate cable fittings; selected interfaces are identified.

Selected 316-Grade Stainless Steel

The selected material requirement is 316-grade stainless steel. The order schedule needs the applicable tube, cable and terminal material references together; appearance alone is not a material-grade specification.

Brushed Stainless Surface

The brushed option gives the posts and rail a directional surface. Record the grain direction at horizontal rails, sloped rails and posts, along with the treatment of exposed joints.

Polished Stainless Surface

The polished option retains the selected post, rail and cable geometry with a more reflective finish. Keep the finish reference consistent across exposed fittings, weld treatment and adjoining rail pieces.

Cable Railing Geometry, Tension and Anchorage

Selected Landing Bay

The selected drawing basis is a 1100 mm landing guard height with 1000 mm post centers, 4 mm cables and 80 mm vertical cable pitch. These are procurement geometry values, carrying no safety approval or code certification.

Cable Tension and Openings

The project engineering review must establish required guard loads, cable deflection, openings and the effect of the chosen bay width.

Anchors and Supporting Structure

Base plates, anchor type, embedment, edge distances and the supporting structure need a project-specific design. A finished deck, tile or timber tread is a surface layer; the connection must be checked against the actual supporting construction.

Cable Railing Quote and Component Schedule

Stair and Landing Runs

List each straight run, stair incline, landing turn, end and opening from the surveyed plan. Separate posts, top rails and cable runs so a change in the stair geometry does not remain hidden in a single overall length.

Fittings and Finish

The quotation schedule includes the selected cable and terminal references, intermediate supports, rail joints and finish. Keep terminal ends, intermediate supports and rail-joint references with their selected finishes and exposed joint treatment.

Packing and Project References

Label rails, posts, cables and fittings by their run or bay reference. Quantities, transport lengths, destination and schedule belong with the approved drawing and commercial terms so components can be matched to their installation location.

Engineering and Anchorage

State the project engineering review, mounting components and anchor design as clearly assigned quotation items.

Stainless Steel Cable Railing Questions

What is the selected cable railing configuration?

The selected landing basis uses 50 × 50 × 2 mm square posts, a 50 × 25 × 2 mm rectangular top rail, 4 mm cable and 80 mm vertical cable pitch. The landing guard height is 1100 mm with 1000 mm post centers. These values define a procurement drawing basis; they do not provide safety or code certification.

What stainless steel grade is used?

The railing is 316-grade stainless steel, chosen for coastal and outdoor exposure. Brushed or polished is a separate finish choice on the same 316 steel.

Who establishes cable tension and allowable openings?

The project engineering review establishes the required guard loads, permitted openings and deflection, then checks the selected cable, terminals, supports and bay width together. A cable diameter or nominal pitch is only one input to that review.

Are base plates and anchors a standard part of every railing run?

The mounting interface is project-specific. Base plates, anchors, embedment and edge distances depend on the actual supporting structure. The quotation needs to state which mounting components and design responsibilities are included for each run.

Can this railing follow a staircase and turn onto a landing?

The configuration uses separate stair and landing runs connected through the selected posts and rail joints. Provide the stair incline, finished levels, turns and supporting edges so the cable route and connection geometry can be coordinated before fabrication.

What information is needed for a cable railing quote?

Include surveyed plans and elevations, finished levels, stair incline, run lengths, mounting structure and the project’s guard requirements. Add the selected stainless material and finish, terminal references if already chosen, destination and component list.
