In Shelburne, Vermont, this contemporary black metal cable railing system encircles a sizable second-story deck, fusing long-lasting durability with sleek design. The deck-mounted posts support a slim, post-to-post top rail that terminates at each post for a clean, intentional look—while the stair sections feature a continuous rail for smooth, uninterrupted flow. Sleek stainless steel cables stretch horizontally, ensuring safety without sacrificing the open view of the surrounding property. Two sets of stairs descend gracefully to a large stone patio below, creating a seamless connection between elevated and ground-level living spaces. Stone, stainless steel, and black aluminum create a dramatic contrast that works well in both modern and rustic environments.
