Successful conversion
I have a beautiful ipe wood deck, and the original railings were made of the same material. Besides having the distinctive vertical baluster look, the yearly weathering made them always look in need of maintenance. The conversion to cable rail was almost a no-brainer, but selecting a DIY system was not - there’s a lot of options out there. If there was one feature that sold me on Cable Bullet, it was the cable spacer bar to help span the 78” rail width. The result is practically invisible, and it’s an elegant solution to maintaining the cable tension over longer spans instead of requiring an extra post. Very happy with the end result, and the kits that were sent were well thought-out with clear, well-illustrated instructions included.
