The Feeney cable rail system is the best thing going by far! I was looking at Bullet brand (and others) that had individual tensioners at each side of each post and required a brand specific crimp tool. The 40' section of wood railing that I was replacing would have cost $1500-$1800 with Bullet. The Feeney pre-crimped 40' kit at $60/each times the 10 rows plus 90 protector sleeves and 10 end caps was less than $700. This system was so easy to install and looked great. The hardest part getting the holes drilled straight, which was done by an experienced carpenter for us.
Was the 90 protector pieces to insert into the wood so that the cable wouldn’t wear down the wood it’s threaded through? I’ll be looking up Feeney brand thank you.
THANK YOU! Before finding this video I watched like 20 about railing and I T had headache of all the talking and got confused I almost give up..This guy is a GENIUS! thanks
Couple comments - make sure to tighten from the middle cable outward to properly displace the load, and use post protector sleeves on the pass throughs to protect the post holes and gives it a finished look.

very helpful! I love your method for creating a bevel on the top of the railing by running it through the table saw at an 8 degree angle. I will definitely try that on ours when we get to the railing!
The few that I've done have those bushings,and are more adjustable as well. Cable railings aren't inexpensive, I'd rather cross the T's and dot the i's than cut corners. Looking at this makes me think the cables will chaff the posts at every corner.
Great video & very informative. I can't seem to find the one way clamps anywhere. Amazon sells the caps for the clamps, just not the clamp. Any link would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Good TOM, the Cable Deck Railing installation is very clear, I require you to tell me the name and specification of the materials, both the cable and its terminals.
Nice work!! Except you forgot the protector sleeve in the post holes. It’s just so the cables don’t wear out the holes at the pinch points since wood is soft.
@@alex1975uk I read a comment here that it was prob a 45 degree hole so that the cable can be pushed through but would have been nice to see them explain if that's what they did. And should use metal sleeves for all contacts with the posts.
I can't find the one way clamp (on min 5:30) anywhere. I would love to know the materials you are using! It's so hard to figure out these materials when they different so much based on the seller and I can't find "one way clamp" anywhere. Thank you!
Probably drill slightly larger holes half through both directions and then use a small automotive pick with a tiny hook on the end to hook the cable and pull it around the corner
I read a comment here that it was prob a 45 degree hole so that the cable can be pushed through but would have been nice to see them explain if that's what they did. And should use metal sleeves for all contacts with the posts.
Agree...possibly the main reason many people watch this video was to see how they did the corner. I was disappointed that they completely skipped any discussion on how to do the corner post. I read a comment that it was prob a 45 degree hole so that the cable can be pushed through but would have been nice to see them explain if that's what they did.
I learned so much from this video, EXCEPT for the ONE thing I came here hoping to understand... How did you get that cable to make the 90 degree turn on that corner post??? I am anxiously awaiting an answer from ANYONE who can help. Thanks in advance!
@wired4fun I'm going to do my first wire railing this summer. So I don't have any actual experience. That being said, I know there are metal sleeves that are inserted into a slightly larger hole. They are used to dress the hole and protect the wood from being damaged. In that case you would drill the 1/8 hole on a 45 degree angle through your post, then enlarge the same hole to possibly 1/4 inch, but only about 1 inch deep, to allow the insertion of the sleeve. There are sleeves for straight and sleeves for angled drilling. They both sit flush on the surface so it appears that the cable made a turn inside the post. I hope I'm describing this properly. I haven't found the correct brand/items yet, but I know they exist.
@@tiredofit1429 Thanks for the response. I ended up getting a 45 degree angle drill guide from Amazon and using the 45 degree sleeves you were referring to and it worked out GREAT. For whatever it's worth, I ended up using the guide from Muzata and the sleeves are CKE, which I found MUCH better than the other available options. They are good quantity and have held up well to a brutal Michigan winter.
This would be much more helpful it you said what cable system this is. I haven't seen a one way grommet system like this. looks great would love to buy it.
My thoughts as well. Im getting ready to install a cable rail system for a client and would like to use the same product he was using. I suppose with a little research I can find it. Would be nice if it was listed in video info though.
What's not demonstrated here is how the holes were drilled on the outside corner post. How was that done. Diagonally though it? Can't be two holes right angles to one another. That would be impossible to fish the cable through. I have to do one pf these next week and need to know. Also, what brand of SS fasteners and connectors did you use?
I read a comment here that it was prob a 45 degree hole so that the cable can be pushed through but would have been nice to see them explain if that's what they did. And should use metal sleeves for all contacts with the posts.
amazing video one thing I would do differently is to, here at 4:30, to give it a little more cable so you could work with it outside the post, bending it to your direction. after that, just pull from the other side a quick question: how much pressure is too much pressure? It is a lot of horizontal pressure (10 cables)?
I have a deck with this exact design of cables and it needs refinished. I just checked my cables and they did something a bit different. You will want to have a decent amount of the threaded end poking out so that when you need to refinish the deck, it wont be a struggle to reinstall your cables as you will want to remove them to make your job a whole lot easier. The way he installed those cables does not allow for easy maintenance of the deck in the future.
I believe the cable hardware shown here is not re-installable, when Kevin cuts it flush before popping the end cap. I have seen another YT video where they refinish the wood structure around a pre-installed cable railing and they just wrap the wire with masking tape to protect it.
Tommy has mad knowledge and skills. Table saw to pitch the top railing...dow's and pins vs deck screws on the top plates.. these are small yet great tips.
Much attention was paid to details on this job, but I’m very surprised no bushings were used where the cable transits the posts, especially where the cable changes direction. Once tensioned, the cable WILL wear, & elongate the holes, those cedar posts are soft. Bushings are the cheapest part of the job, HAAS sells them for less than $1, Feeny, (used on this job), are 10 for $12. It is not true that the quick connects used here cannot be undone. Feeny sells a tool ($7j, specifically for that purpose, (works much like the gizmo for undoing Sharkbite plumbing fittings), works on all Feeny quick connects.
Please tell me how you ran the wire at the end of the corner... Did you L shaped inside the wood, drilling halfway into the wood makind 2 holes? I couldn't see that part in the video,

One thing to note is that code changes when using cable.(in most regions that is) The spacing drops from 4" down to 3" so that as the cable stretches it doesn't stretch beyond 4 inches. Best to verify code before installing so that you don't have to redo it
@@scott5654 Always check with the local Building Department. In my case, the Building Department is OK as long as the maximum space rule isn't violated. That usually means building-in "safety" against deflection by using 3" spacing of the cables. Tom Silva knows his stuff, so I have to assume he's up on all this, but he might have been a little more detailed here.
Love the look. Only issue I have is that 4” spacing that code requires doesn’t seem adequate for a non rigid rail system. What happens when a little kid pushes his head through those flexible cables? 4” can easily become 6” or more with a little applied pressure.
I'll tell you what will happen. That little kid will realize that it really hurts to squeeze his noggin thru a 4" cable rail, and will think twice about ever doing it again. Lol.
Until they choke to death. Not to be dramatic, but these systems are dangerous. They not only allow a little one to stick their head through (inattentive parents may not see the child right away) but it also allows children to climb up and over, like a jungle gym playground. The fall would not be nice!
I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to have the nut tightening end of the cable on the opposite end where it’s more easily accessible. This is so you can tighten the cables in the future if they become loose over time. Also, after you tighten the cables starting from the middle out (not top down as you did), you trim the excess thread from the bolt and install the decorative covers.
@@Wired4Fun that’s why they have decorative covers which look far better than having a threaded bolt with a nut sticking out the way he has it. His job looks sloppy but maybe you’re ok with that.
I read a comment here that it was prob a 45 degree hole so that the cable can be pushed through but would have been nice to see them explain if that's what they did. And should use metal sleeves for all contacts with the posts.
Love TOH..But they didn't show him drilling all the way through the post with his template and matching it from both sides and meeting in the middle of each post.OR did he drill all the way through from one side?
@@schreckd he means that you need a piece of timber underneath the top rail between the posts to stop them from bending and being drawn in by the tension of the cable. It also a very bug run of cable without tensioners along the run. I think the cables are going to slacken a lot in time.
@@straight_to_finish the corner post at 6:17 makes it look like the cable either: A) makes a 90°turn in the wood; Or B) the hole might have been drilled at 45° from the middle of side where cable goes in to the middle of the exit side; Or my guess C) they actually had Norm Abram come work some magic, but couldn't air it
@@straight_to_finish That corner post doesn't have the cable running straight through it. I believe they made at least two holes. But if it is a 1/8 in cable and a 1/4 or even 3/8 hole in that post, it may make it easier to bend inside and come out the side. stop the video at 5:04, then slow the speed and at 5:05, you'll see his hand only moves over to the side, not the opposite side. Then at 5:06, you'll see the corner post from the opposite angle.
Make sure the cables and other hardware are all stainless steel, preferably something like 316 grade which is pretty resistant to salt. A 316 stainless system should hold up pretty well in most coastal situations.
I watched this about 100 times and finally finished my own project today!!! Thank you! Great project and learned so many new things!
Hope you put a 1x4 under the top rail. Top rail alone insufficient to prevent post movement with tension.

It turned out looking really nice. I was thinking some kind of bushings would be nice, though, to finish off the holes drilled in the posts.
At the least some stainless collars to add more industrial robust look going through the posts.
I’d like that too
No
The few that I've done have those bushings,and are more adjustable as well. Cable railings aren't inexpensive, I'd rather cross the T's and dot the i's than cut corners. Looking at this makes me think the cables will chaff the posts at every corner.
Can you please share where we can source this style cable, as well as how you fed the wire through a 90 degree corner within the 4x4.
I just asked the same question about the 90 turn!?
I just run a new cable, it's more expensive but I would rather not risk breaking the post
You guys are one of the only carpenters I trust to learn something new.
Where do you buy the wire and kit from? Links??
The product is Cable Rail from Feeney
Great video & very informative. I can't seem to find the one way clamps anywhere. Amazon sells the caps for the clamps, just not the clamp. Any link would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Optional
Not optional when you're making multiple turns in the railing like they did with that 45

Also, after you tighten the cables starting from the middle out (not top down as you did), you trim the excess thread from the bolt and install the decorative covers.

Hi Great info. Any experience with Cable Deck Railing on coastal areas? If the cable is exposed to the salt air, I'm worried about rust.
Make sure the cables and other hardware are all stainless steel, preferably something like 316 grade which is pretty resistant to salt. A 316 stainless system should hold up pretty well in most coastal situations.
Does the one way clamp maintain cable tension over time without slipping? I'm interested in others' experience with this!
Crazy question but think I could use 1/4” solid copper wire for the same effect, and be compliant with code?
Copper is probably too soft
