We built 200' of cable railing recently and have some leftovers. This is an incredible system. Drill a screw in at either end of a cable run, cut and swage the cable into the screws, then tighten.
What we have left:
About 400' of 1/8" T316 stainless steel cable
An unopened box of 100 swage lag screws, with tools included
Happy to show off what we did and share tips and tricks we learned along the way.
