Hidden hardware
Every fastener buried inside the wood post. The cable is the only thing you see.
30 minutes per post
A power drill, our wrench, and a weekend. Most homeowners finish a 30 ft run Saturday.
Any wood post
Cedar, PT, IPE, or any other species. Works on new builds and retrofits — no special post required.
Drill it. Cut It. Tension it. Done.

What’s in every DriveTite bundle
Mix and match — every kit is sold individually if you only need one.
Spacing & code
Every 3⅛″ vertically. Posts every 4 ft. That spacing keeps cable deflection under 4″ — the IRC sphere rule for guardrails. If your posts are spaced wider than 4 ft, drop in an intermediate post (no fasteners — it just keeps tension between sections).
| Vertical cable spacing | 3⅛″ |
| Max post-to-post span | 4 ft (no intermediate) |
| Max with intermediate post | 8 ft |
| Cable diameter | 1/8″ 316 stainless |
Drill it. Cut It. Tension it. Done.
DriveTite kits ship next business day from our Indiana shop. Most homeowners finish a 30-foot run over a weekend.
