Exterior Cable Railings, also called wire rope railings, are safety rails using horizontal or vertical cables rather than spindles, glass or mesh for infill between the posts or structures, which means they retain strength while at the same time preserving the view.

Are Cable Railings Safe?
Yes, cable railing is safe when built to code, providing a very secure option for railings. Here are useful information on horizontal railing codes that Isaac's Ironworks Artisans utilize when designing, fabricating and installing Custom Exterior Cable Railings.
What Are Code Requirements for Cable Railing & Guardrail?
When installing cable railing on a deck, staircase, or balcony, it is important to make sure that the railing system is up to code. There are specific requirements for each aspect of the railing system, such as handrail height, the amount of pressure that the system must be able to withstand, and how far apart the posts must be spaced.
In general, cable railing code requirements come from two different sources:
Cable Railing Safety
When built to code, cable railing is a very safe option for railing. However, building code can be a challenge to navigate. Here is some helpful information about horizontal railing codes, and how Isaac's Ironworks Artisans design, fabricate and install exceptional Exterior Cable Railings:
Codes for Cable Railing
A number of code stipulations will apply to a Cable Railing project given its environment: residential or commercial. While there are some standards for railing for both residential and commercial projects, local code presents minor differences that are important to consider. Always verify project details with a local code official before finalizing a project. Most often, horizontal railing systems are subject to the Sphere Rules, Handrail & Guardrail Height Requirements, and Load Requirements.
Sphere Rules
Guides to cable railing code refer to the 4 inch Sphere Rule. If stairs are involved, the 6 inch Sphere Rule will be referenced
The 4 Inch Sphere Rule:
This refers to naturally occurring gaps and spaces within a railing system. The rule states that a 4” sphere should be unable to pass through any gap in a railing system. In Isaac's Ironworks projects posts are drilled with holes 3 ⅛” center-to-center to avoid any deflection exceeding 4 inches.
6 Inch Sphere Rule:
The exception to the 4 inch sphere rule is the gap created between the bottom run of infill and the 90 degree angle created where the rear of a stair tread meets a stair riser.
A 6 inch sphere should be unable to pass through this triangular gap.
Handrail & Guardrail Height
Handrail and guardrail are commonly confused as being the same. Guardrail refers to the structural railing that sits atop a railing system. A guardrail is typically required for stairs with 4-or-more risers, or for a deck or balcony with 30 inches above grade. Code requires guardrail in residential structures be a minimum of 36 inches. Some areas require taller guardrail. Local code officials should be consulted regarding an area's specific guardrail height requirements.
Handrail refers to a graspable element of a railing system designed to assist people in ascending or descending a staircase. Code requires handrails be mounted between 34 and 38 inches. Code also requires handrails return into a wall or structural member of the railing system. This allows everyone from homeowners to first responders to safely traverse a staircase without snagging clothing or equipment on a handrail and falling down a staircase.
Force & Load Requirements
Another common code requirement during a horizontal railing project covers load requirements, or a certain amount of pressure either applied to a specific point of a railing system or distributed throughout the system by linear foot.
Handrails and guardrails and structural members of a railing system are required to withstand 200lbs of concentrated force in any direction. Intermediate structures are only required to withstand 50lbs of concentrated force.
At Isaac's Ironworks we do rigorous testing to ensure our systems are as structurally sound as they are aesthetically pleasing.
Spacing for Cable Railing
To ensure a railing system performs as well as designed, be sure to space structural posts no more than 4ft apart center-to-center. When using a wood post system, it is required to have a structural post every 8ft with intermediate (non-load-bearing posts) spaced every 4ft between structural posts.
This measure also ensures cables will remain properly tensioned and deflect as little as possible.
What is Proper Tensioning?
Following deck cable railing code will allow you to create a safe and sturdy system. Once your system is installed, another vital element is proper tensioning. Following cable railing code is essential to a cable railing system that will perform optimally for years to come.
Best Practices for Proper Tensioning
Isaac's Ironworks Artisans adhere to best practices when fabricating and installing Exterior Cable Railing, including:
Measure twice, cut once. The more precise the cuts, the less likely to bottom out the threads on the tension receivers.
Always crimp cable railing components twice.
Begin with the center-most run of railing and alternating towards the outer-most runs at the top and bottom of the posts.
Take care not to tension the cable railing too much. In some instances, this can bow handrail.
