PREPARE POSTS
Transform Cable Rail MUST be installed on 4" x 4" wooden posts sleeved with
Transform post sleeves to support cable tension!
1.
Prepare all posts and mounting surfaces before
installation. If using a trim ring, be sure to install
trim ring prior to attaching your cable and/or
fastening bottom beam (optional).
NOTE: Check with your local building code
office for design load requirements for guard
rails and bottom space requirements. All
supporting structures should be built in
accordance with applicable building codes.

2.
If using the optional bottom rail, establish
the level placement of the bottom rail so
that there is no more than a 4" space
from the bottom of the rail to the deck
(Fig. 1). Mark the post at this dimension
to determine your beam placement (Fig.
2 - a). Add 2 ∕ " to your bottom space and

make a mark on the post at this height to
determine where the top of your bottom rail
will meet the post. (Fig. 2 - b). Repeat for all
posts in your installation.
If not using bottom rail, measure up
from deck surface on your post to allow for
the height of the mid-baluster support foot,
and make a mark on the post. Repeat for
all posts in your installation.
Determine placement of top rail by
measuring up from bottom of post to 33
∕ " for a 36" finished rail height or 39

for a 42" finished rail height. Repeat for all
posts in your installation.

3.
Use the pre-drilled mid-baluster support as a
template against the sleeved wooden post to
determine your hole placement for both posts
in your cable span (Fig. 3). Center the mid-
baluster support between the marks for your
top rail and bottom rail or mid-baluster support
foot to ensure even spacing from your first
hole and the top rail and your last hole and the
bottom. Mark the mid-baluster support where
it lines up with your where your bottom rail or
mid-baluster support foot will be, and with the
top rail marks. Cut the mid-baluster support.

8 Mark the holes for your cable runs on the post
with a pencil, using the mid-baluster support
as a template (Fig. 4). Cable system is designed
for the cable runs to be 3.1" apart on center.
If using bottom rail there will be 9 cable runs for
36" rail, and 11 for 42" rail. If not using bottom
beam, there will be 10 cable runs for 36" rail

16 and 12 cable runs for 42" rail.
A cable span will have stationary lags at one
end connecting the cable to the extended lags
and tensioners at the other end of the span.
