Cable Railing: The Perfect Choice for a Porch With a View

Cable railing is the perfect rail option for porches, decks, stairs, and patios. Often chosen for its safety and style, this barrier provides a clear view that complements various styles of homes. 

Easy to install and maintain, cable railings come in a variety of finishes, colors, and coatings to ensure your design is seamless and beautiful. Plus, they last for many years, and can withstand even the harshest environments.

Here are some of the best cable porch railing ideas.

Lush Lakeside

This wooden deck with a fire pit and black chair overlooks the yard with trees and a body of water.

The tranquil scenery of a backyard lake should never be overwhelmed by chunky wood or intrusive metal railings. This lakeside porch with cable railing turns attention from the deck to the lake, placing this beautiful property center stage.

Previously, large wooden benches blocked the view. Once the owner replaced them with our Express Cable railing and a metal handrail, the entire landscape was transformed, so all eyes would focus on the water and landscaping. Thanks to the sturdy, sleek nature of the cable railing porch, this backyard now has the best seats in the house.

Riverfront

This elevated two-tiered stone platform with metal and wire railing. Two brown chairs sit on the platform. Trees and a body of water are in the background.

This gorgeous home features our Signature Cable railing on a riverside deck, finished in a bronze powder coat. 

On this steel cable porch railing, the flat top posts are used to close the gap between the posts and the handrail. The result is a stunning, fluid railing system that doesn’t interfere with the serene, riverfront views.

Mountain Overlook

This light blue deck with metal and wire railing overlooks mountains and a valley. The sunlight is diffused behind a cloudy sky.

Any home surrounded by jaw-dropping mountains and horizon views deserves a subtle cable railing that showcases the scenery. This homeowner chose our Signature Cable railing for its ability to preserve the view, retain the deck’s walking space, and maintain its integrity in harsh weather conditions.

Palm Tree Suburbs

This white deck with metal railings overlooks a street lined with houses and palm trees. A car is entering the round-about.

Modern coastal living never looked so good. Thanks to its black color, clean lines, and sharp angles, this porch balcony cable railing provides a stunning contrast to the soft, rounded architecture of the building. Custom-built for this particular property, our Signature Cable railing with a legacy black fluoropolymer finish effortlessly takes this balcony to the next level. 

Bustling Cityscape

This porch overlooks a residential area. The houses across the street are brick, and there is a tree right in front of the wired railing.

One of the best features of porch cable railing is its high-end design. That stunning look and feel comes through in glorious form at this urban dwelling where the clean, black powder coating is in harmony with the exciting city vibe.

A table with chairs and a couch sits upon a wooden deck with metal wiring and black railings. A wooden gazebo and additional deck hang above.

In addition to looking great, the black powder coating has another purpose: protective durability. The owner paired our Signature Cable railing with a stunning wood handrail to create a seamless design. For an added bonus, the handrail matches the flooring, tying the entire look together. 

Flat-top posts don’t take away from the valuable space available on the deck, plus they stay out of the way of the surrounding urban landscape.
