Architectural Cable Rail Systems

Modern Steel Cable Railings That Maximize Every View

Whether overlooking a pool, courtyard, canyon, ocean, or city skyline, your railing shouldn’t block the view—it should frame it.

Bare Steel designs, fabricates, and installs premium cable railing systems that combine structural strength with clean architectural design. Every system is custom-built to your project, delivering the open feel architects love while providing the durability demanded by commercial, multi-family, and residential construction.

Unlike prefabricated railing kits, every Bare Steel cable railing system is fabricated in-house for your exact dimensions, finish, and structural requirements.

Built for California

California projects demand more than attractive railings.

They demand systems that perform.

Our cable rail systems are fabricated for:

✔ Coastal Environments
✔ High-Traffic Commercial Buildings
✔ Multi-Family Communities
✔ HOA Developments
✔ Hillside Construction
✔ Luxury Residential Homes
✔ Modern Commercial Architecture

It’s an Architectural Feature.

Cable rail isn’t simply a guardrail.

It’s one of the first things people notice when they approach a building.
Done correctly, it makes an apartment community feel upscale.

It transforms an office entrance into a modern commercial property.

It gives homeowners unobstructed views without sacrificing safety.

That’s why every cable railing system we fabricate is built with the same attention to detail as the structural steel supporting the building.

Designed Around Your Project

We don’t ask you to choose from catalog sizes.

We build around your project.

Whether you’re working from architectural plans or developing a custom design, our fabrication team builds each system specifically for its location.

The Bare Steel Difference

Most companies install cable.

We fabricate the entire system.

That means every project receives:

Precision Fabrication

Laser-measured fabrication for consistent alignment.

Heavy-Duty Steel Frames

Commercial-grade structural framing—not lightweight retail kits.

Premium Stainless Steel Cable

Marine-grade stainless cable engineered for long-term performance.

Professional Weld Quality

Clean welds, smooth transitions, and attention to every visible detail.

Built to Fit

Every post, top rail, base plate, and cable run is fabricated specifically for your project.

Choose the Look You Want

Modern architecture isn’t one-size-fits-all.

We fabricate cable railing systems with a variety of frame styles.

Minimalist Square Tube

Clean lines with contemporary architecture.

Heavy Commercial

Larger structural members for apartment and commercial projects.

Architectural Accent

Integrated plate steel, lighting, decorative details, or custom features.

Mixed Material

Steel cable combined with glass, wood, aluminum, or architectural steel.

Because the small details are what separate ordinary railing from exceptional craftsmanship.

From Shop Floor to Final Installation

Every project follows the same process:

1. Field Verification – Accurate measurements and site review.

2. Shop Drawings – Fabrication details coordinated with the project team.

3. Fabrication – Precision cutting, welding, grinding, and assembly.

4. Finishing – Primer, powder coating, galvanizing, or custom finishes.

5. Installation – Professional installation with proper cable tensioning and final inspection.

Finish Options

Your railing should look as good years from now as it does on day one.

Available finishes include:

Industrial Primer
Sherwin-Williams Industrial Finish Systems
Powder Coating
Hot-Dip Galvanizing

A great cable railing doesn’t draw attention to itself.

It draws attention to everything beyond it.
