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.
@RTristan013 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

@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.

They are good quantity and have held up well to a brutal Michigan winter.

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.
