Customer Project Spotlight: White Aluminum Cable Railing in Solway, Minnesota
The railing system of a homeowner’s meticulously planned and executed deck project must not only adhere to building codes, but also enhance the aesthetic of the area, protect the view, and provide long-term durability. That’s exactly what Chris H. achieved with his wraparound deck railing project in Solway, Minnesota, using our white aluminum cable railing system.
Project Overview
Chris’s deck wraps around the back of his home and overlooks a wide, open backyard bordering the woods. With such a scenic setting, maintaining clean sightlines was a priority. To provide a powerful and contemporary guardrail solution while still preserving the vista, he went with a horizontal cable railing layout.
The system features:
- White aluminum deck-mounted posts
- 2×4 base plates, allowing Chris to install his own composite top rail to perfectly match the deck boards
- 1/8″ stainless steel cable
- Cable quick nut and cable quick nut covers for a clean, finished look at the ends with our field swaged assembly
The result is a railing system that blends seamlessly with the composite decking while adding a crisp contrast against the surrounding greenery.
From Quote to Delivery
Chris asked for a price for his large deck layout to get things started. Our team worked with him to review measurements, post spacing, and mounting details to ensure everything was configured correctly from the start. Having open lines of communication during the quotation stage facilitated a speedy and secure system finalization.
Once approved, the order advanced smoothly through manufacturing and shipment. Each kit was packaged with durable components, comprehensive instructions, and most required installation tools, limiting the need for additional purchases.
As Chris noted in his review, there is some assembly involved—especially with a project of this size—but the system is designed to be installer-friendly for DIY homeowners. Even over a sizable, multi-section deck, the installation could be finished quickly due to the comprehensive instructions and the tools that were included.
The deck-mounted posts and composite top rail give the railing a custom look, while the stainless steel cables provide durability and long-term performance in Minnesota’s seasonal conditions.
Customer Feedback
“Ordered a large project deck railing – white aluminum with horizontal railing. Project turned out very well. Great communication and help from the sales group. High quality components at a great price (though there is definitely some assembly required). Detailed instructions and most tools required come with the kit so no need to look around for special tools. Was an overall great project.”

A Finished Space Built for the View
With the railing installed, Chris now has a deck that feels open, secure, and visually connected to the wooded landscape behind his home. The white aluminum posts frame the space without overpowering it, and the horizontal cable infill keeps the focus on the view—not the railing.
