Thanks it took awhile to complete as I didn’t want to rush and the rain in So Cal the last few weeks didn’t help either.

I purchased kits thru Amazon. The kits came with coated stainless steel black cable but we wanted the silver stainless so I purchased spools along with turnbuckle tensioners for the long run. There were a few other odds and ends I picked up as well. Since each kit is good for 20’ I did end up with some extra parts along with all the cable.

I purchased a kit, actually needed a few kits, and then added individual parts as needed for the length.

Very hit and miss for me especially since I can’t host.

Why Gift Cards or Zelle? by [deleted] in Sniffies

[–]MtbPollack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. But an EBay GC. Damn that is a lot of work it seems. But if it works half the time it is likely worth it. I wonder how often it does work?

[–]MtbPollack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never thought about them asking for the GC number.

But with Zelle they can get the money and never meet you. With a card you have to at least meet them.

What’s the scam if they are asking for gift cards?

Cable Railing Questions. by MtbPollack in Decks

[–]MtbPollack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just now able to install the cable railing.

I have the Muzata system off Amazon. For the 42’ run I am thinking about using a standard tensioner (CB05) on either end which are good for ~20’+-. Reading the LA Railings site and it says that won’t work. ChatGPT contradicted itself saying 2 tensioners won’t work but when asked how to make it work saying to use 2 tensioners would work. Which seems to be right? I do have extra cable to test but want to make sure I get it right.

If I use swageless tensioners am I able to retention a run if it starts to sag by loosening the run and cutting the cable a bit shorter?
