Atlantis Rail Systems

A cable railing uses stainless steel cables to fill in a railing frame. The slim profile of the cables creates a clean, modern look and keeps the view open from your deck, balcony, or stairs.

Yes, many systems are designed so experienced DIYers can handle the install, though some projects—like stairs—may be easier with a professional.

In most areas, yes. Cable railing has been accepted in residential codes for years, but requirements such as post spacing and cable tensioning must be met. Always check with your local inspector before you build.

Most cable railing systems use marine-grade stainless steel, such as 316 or 316L. This alloy resists moisture and salt, making it ideal for coastal or high-exposure environments. Atlantis Rail uses 316L stainless steel for lasting durability in both residential and commercial settings.

Cable railing requires less upkeep than wood, but stainless steel still benefits from regular care. In most areas, a rinse and mild soap cleaning are enough. In coastal or poolside environments, salt and chlorine can cause surface staining that looks like rust. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup around cable strands, fittings, and threads, keeping the system bright and corrosion-resistant.
