Deckorators Cable Railing Intermediate Spacer
What It Is:
-
This is a 2-pack of “intermediate posts” (also called spacers) for the Deckorators Contemporary Cable Railing system.
-
These are not structural line or end posts — instead, they act as support spacers within a run of cable rail to hold the cables in place and maintain proper spacing / stiffness.
-
They come in three size / height options:
-
The pack includes:
-
The holes in the intermediate posts are pre-drilled for 1/8″ cable
-
Color / finish options: According to the DeckExpressions listing, they come in Textured Black, Weathered Brown, Textured Bronze, and Textured White.
Why / When to Use Intermediate Posts:
- Stabilizing Cable Runs: In a long cable railing span, without intermediate support the cables can sag or deflect too much. These posts help “guide” the cables and keep them aligned.
- Code / Safety Considerations: Many cable-rail building code requirements (or “4-in sphere test” rules) require intermediate supports so that cables don’t droop too much. Using these helps ensure your rail run stays within safe deflection.
- Aesthetic & Alignment: Intermediate posts keep your cable lines more visually consistent. They help the cables maintain spacing and prevent visual sagging, which makes the railing look tighter and more engineered.
- Compatibility: These are designed to work with Deckorators’ own Contemporary Cable Railing system — so they align with their spacers, cable packing, top rails, etc.
