I think AW and the Universe have a different definition of "easy". :) Another gem, but dang, sure liked that old one too.

[@ron827]

The old railing look fine to me.

[@dennishinkle5010]

It certainly opened things up and looks nice. Keep the old wooden parts they are so ornamental and can be used for other projects to give it a traditional look. Great video.👍♥️

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

View Rail is a nice option for a handrail! It looks great. You make it look simple April. Thanks for sharing another project. Keep on building!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thank you very much!

Very cool. The setup for these on the commercial property looks awesome weaving through the trees like a tree house.

To each their own. If l bought a house with the cable railings, I'd make a video about how to remove it and replace it with what you removed.

You give a lot of detail and great info… one thing I often wonder as a DIYer is how much something like this cost? Many of the folks I follow never give that kind of info. Even a ball park price would be great…

[@mouuseygb]

The Express system for something like this is $4-5K.

we liked The modern railings after until we saw our children climb on them! Within 1 week of moving in to our new home, we spent $$$ to demolish the whole railing and changed it to the traditional vertical one!

[@PunkR0ckz09]

It looks phenomenal, but my issue with it is the fact that most insurance (at least, where I live in the region of Quebec, Canada) wouldn't pay if something happened as it is considered a "ladder", so a child could climb up on top of each "ropes" and fall down...
