This elegant black aluminum cable railing system, which adorns the rear deck of a house on Mercer Island, Washington, combines modern design with tough durability. The deck-mounted posts provide a robust framework, while an Ipe wood top rail, rich in color and texture, adds a natural accent to the sleek aluminum post-to-post design. The railing's stainless steel wires provide a subtle yet eye-catching visual impact that unobtrusively frames picturesque views. The innovative through post field swaged assemblies ensure a clean, seamless finish at every cable end, enhancing the system’s refined aesthetic while providing robust stability. The simple design of this railing transforms outdoor areas into a tranquil haven and is both elegant and useful.
