On a third-story balcony nestled in the hills of El Cerrito, California, this black aluminum cable railing system delivers a striking blend of form and function. A wood top rail adds warmth and texture to the structure, while fascia-mounted posts keep it looking clean and simple. Just below, an aluminum post-to-post support rail reinforces the system’s strength without disrupting the view. Tensioned stainless steel cables run horizontally between the posts, offering an open, contemporary aesthetic that perfectly frames the distant sweep of the San Francisco Bay. Altogether, this railing offers flair and safety in a high, picturesque location.
