A: Yes, we do have intermediate posts available and will be happy to provide you more information on this product. Please email info@ultra-tec.com and someone will answer you within 24 hours during the week, 48 hours during the weekend. **Q: What size cable was used?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Restoration Organics, Thank you for the question! It is fairly difficult to tell the cable diameter from the image whether it is 1/8" or 3/16", but we believe this is 1/8" cable. Please feel free to reach out with any other questions. Ultra-tec Cable Railing **Q: Vertical side pieces of frame?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi. Could you please tell me what the vertical pieces are made of that cover the deck frame? The material painted white? Is it composite or cedar that you have painted? Thanks. A: Hi lhearne, Thank you for your question. We are not sure of the fascia material. We are the manufacturer of the stainless steel cable railing system and this was a customer-submitted photo. If you are interested in a cable railing system please visit our website for more information. www.ultra-tec.com Thank you, Ultra-tec Cable Railing **Q: Cable rail design.** *(in Design Dilemma)* Contractor has added a piece of pressure treated wood to cedar wrapped columns to attach the cable rail system. This does not look good in my opinion. The extra piece of wood spoils the look of the cedar columns and will never stain the same as the cedar. Advice for alternate design wanted and welcomed. Thanks. A: Are you able to drill and tap into the metal columns? **Q: From Wood to Metal Interior Staircase and Cable Railing** *(in Before & After)* This project was made in Alexandria. Our client was very happy with the final product. What do you think about this change? Thank you for your comments. A: Cable railing infill was a great choice! **Q: Before and After: Contemporary Farmhouse Stair System** *(in Before & After)* A: Hi OC Stairs / Design Hardwoods, May I ask what cable railing system you use on your projects? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
