Here is an Ipe (pronounced Ee-pay) deck rail that I did. The balustrade is stainless steel. Very clean, open, and though I didn't place the mums there, they are a nice touch.

Is that a single run on each steel cable?

Well, sir, I don't think I understand the question, so I'll try to tell you everything about the cables...

It's stainless steel, there is a special anchor that is your starting point. You then run the cable all the way to the other end, and push a one way fitting on the cable at the terminal post. Then it's just a matter of prying and yanking. When you get all the length out you can, there is a nut on the anchor end that you can turn to get is tighter.

Maybe this would answer you: Each run is individual. The short run is seperate from the long run, because you can't stretch a 90 degree angle.

Does that answer your question?
