Review on πŸ”§ Atlantis Rail Systems C0981-1004 RailEasy Cable Rail Tensioner - 10 Pack: Premium & Durable Tensioner for Reliable Cable Railings by Kristopher Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for decking and railing

Very pleased with the performance and appearance of this product. I used their 5/32" cable which was difficult to cut with wire cutters (see previous review). I've used an air grinder with a cut-off wheel with good results. Many other cable management systems require you to insert end pieces into the wire and I really didn't want to go that route. There are a few other systems without stakes, but I think you'll find that they all require you to start with the wire. a specific length and then cut it to your needs, which will most likely increase the cost. You can buy a spool of wire for this system and keep waste to a minimum. I was concerned bolting these connectors flush into the deck posts can be unreliable once you put tension on the wire (most other systems go through the posts and secure on the opposite side), but it doesn't. Installation was pretty easy. You can buy these connectors in packs of two or ten.

Pros
  • Excellent value for money
Cons
  • Safety
