{"product_id":"fast-balcony-stainless-cable-balcony-railing-system","title":"Fast Balcony Stainless Cable Balcony Railing System","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fast Balcony Stainless Cable Balcony Railing System runs tensioned stainless cables between welded aluminum posts, sold by the section for balconies, decks, and rooftop edges where the view is the point. It is the lightest guard program in the line, which matters on long elevated runs and retrofit structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach section is a welded aluminum post and rail assembly with horizontal stainless steel cable infill, shipped in 4, 5, 6, and 8 ft lengths that assemble into continuous runs. Cables tension with concealed terminations and their spacing follows the released engineering, with tension posts placed per the run design rather than a fixed module. The standard guard height is 42 in, with 36 in available where the project code allows. Sections bolt to the balcony frame, deck structure, or parapet without field welding, and the aluminum is powder coated in Matte Black, White, Bronze, or Slate Gray while the cables stay natural stainless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensioned horizontal stainless cable infill for open view lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded aluminum sections in 4, 5, 6, and 8 ft lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightest guard program in the line, 18 to 28 lb per section including a post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 in guard height standard;
