Wood Cable Railing Systems

Add a touch of the great outdoors to your railing project with a wood top rail and/or posts. Perfect for a rustic aesthetic that nicely contrasts the industrial feel of cable infill. Our commitment to easy maintenance and beautiful results applies to everything we carry, and our wood products are no exception. The species we carry are renowned for natural resilience and resistance to rot, insects, splitting, etc., and our posts are uniquely engineered for additional strength.

AVERAGE ORDER: $75-95/LF (Varies depending on configuration)

Options:

  1. How tall do you want your railing system to be? 36 inch or 42 inch?
  2. Would you prefer drilled or undrilled posts? Pre-drilled posts save you time and effort, but undrilled allows you more customization opportunities and accommodates angled surfaces, like stairs.
  3. Determine the Mounting Method that’s best for your application
  4. Don’t forget Mounting Hardware, Fittings, and Cable Infill

We currently offer four wood species for posts and/or top rails. Our Ipe Brazillian Walnut Top Rails are responsibly harvested from the rainforests of Brazil, promoting sustainable practices while providing you with this lovely, durable railing option. Enjoy the richness of Ipe’s deep red color and knot-less grain, while adding an exotic twist to your property.

Our exclusive line of Balau Mahogany top rails and posts offer similar strength and a comparable color, but stand apart due to their engineered strength. This wood is responsibly harvest by our suppliers in Asia and the Pacific, who pick only the finest specimens of superior species. The wood is then kiln dried and uniquely engineered for additional strength and resistance to checking and splitting, resulting in an exceptionally durable, and consistently beautiful, end product.

We also carry Western Red Cedar, a construction classic for thousands of years here in North America due to its natural resistance to moisture, insects, and general wear. This sturdy, durable wood option offers a lighter color than Ipe and Batu, and is available as clear (knot-free) top rail or tight-knot posts. The posts we carry are engineered to be even stronger and more builder-friendly than they already naturally are.

The newest addition to our wood catalog is Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Combining delicate coloration and incredibly fine grain with an unexpected high density, this wood is as structurally strong as it is visibly fair. In addition to common constructions such as bridges, boats, and decks, Alaskan Yellow Cedar is also often used for specialty constructions, such as temples and shrines. This unique wood species provides the perfect accent for a striking cable railing.

Our railings are highly configurable. Mix wood varieties or combine a wood top rail with one of our metal posts: ALUMINUM, ROUND STAINLESS STEEL, or SQUARE STAINLESS STEEL. Consult our Wood Installation Instructions and Special Terms for Wood Orders for more information on wood products and applications.
