Feeney CableRail is beautiful and safe, as long as you follow our recommendations for railing frame design and cable spacing and tensioning.
We do also recommend checking with your local building department to see if they have any special requirements for railings. If you have any questions you can call us at 800-888-2418.

This sounds like an awesome project!
