So the first video on this
project series is gonna start
right here at the guesthouse
Now the guest house is
situated a little bit further
away from the main house
and the two are connected
by a bridge
And we just thought
this guesthouse is pretty cool
it’s right here on the river
it’s a unique place to
come hang out
stay the night
so we decided to start here
and now we’re gonna show
you guys how we did all
the cable railing
around the guest house
♪
So whenever Shane and Christy
first contacted us about
wanting to do cable railing
for this deck they kind of
were exploring a number of
different options but they
ended up going with our
HAAS Stainless Revo Cable Railing
System
just due to how minimalistic
it looks and easy it can be
to install
now as far as cable diameters
go and cable railing
components go
they ended up going with
1/8 inch type 316 1x19
stainless steel cable
as far as all the
components go
we ended up going with
1/8 inch swage stud assemblies
1/8 inch lag receiver swage stops
1/8 inch low profile swage stops
and 1/8 inch standard sage stops
for tensioning and end stop
components
and then for all of our
wood post protectors
we went with
1/8 inch straight wood
post protectors
and 1/8 inch transition wood
post protectors
♪
So the guest house is actually
a pretty good example
of a lot of the same scenarios
that you’ll find on your own
backyard deck or patio
now there’s only four
cable runs that make up the guest house
and you can access the backside of all
or your end and corner posts
so since we can access the backside of all of
the end posts and corner posts in this system
we’re gonna be using all
through-post cable railing components
so for our end stops
we’re gonna be using
standard swage stops
and then for our tensioning
fittings we’re gonna be using
swage stud assemblies.
The scenery on this deck
and at this house is
absolutely beautiful
there are cypress trees
in the background on the river
there’s oak trees all over the yard
and it’s no surprise that
Shane and Christy wanted to go
with something that was
as minimalistic as possible.
That being said
they went with
1/8 inch diameter cable
and they asked us to space the cables
at a distance of only 5 inches
now code is typically gonna be
every 3 inches but we luckily
are in an area that’s
not affected by code
and that’s how we were able
to do that
♪
Now kind of a quick tip
about wood post protectors
that you should always keep in mind
is that they can kind of be
a little bit easy to forget
whenever you’re running your cables through each post
so the combat that what we like to recommend doing
is that you put all your wood post protectors
in a Ziploc bag for the amount that you were going to need
for the cable run that you’re working on
so for example if you’re working on the cable run
and you need 40 wood post protectors
put all those in a bag
as you’re going through and running your cables
once you get finished up
you shouldn’t have any more wood post protectors in that bag
and if you do probably forgot one somewhere
and that way you won’t forget anything
whenever you finish off your run

So that’s gonna be it for the guest house
the next video in this project series
is going to be all about the stairs that lead up
to the guest house
