We also have the necessary drill bits available for purchase. We provide the drill bits needed. Drilling templates and cutters are available for rent or purchase. If you choose to use our blind solid receiver for metal systems, you will need a hand or battery swager. We have those available for rent as well.

Some areas may completely restrict use of cable railing, and in some areas, wire rope spacing varies from the conventional 4” spacing. Most cable railing requires no more than 225lbs of strength; however, ours is all tested to withhold a minimum of 450lbs for added strength.
