The gold standard for cable railing. Premium T316 Marine Grade Steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to T304. 7x7 strand construction ensures flexibility and strength.

Overview

Build a railing that lasts a lifetime with RiaYer T316 Stainless Steel Cable. Unlike standard 304 stainless steel which can rust in coastal areas, our T316 alloy is enriched with Molybdenum, providing exceptional resistance to salt air, chlorides, and harsh weather.

Featuring a professional 7x7 Construction (49 strands woven together), this cable strikes the perfect balance between stiffness for straight runs and flexibility for easy handling. It is the ideal choice for decks, stairs, and marine applications.

Why Choose T316 Over 304?

• 🌊 Superior Corrosion Resistance: T316 contains Molybdenum, an element missing in T304. This makes T316 significantly more resistant to pitting and rust, especially in salty coastal environments or areas with high humidity.
• 💪 Higher Strength & Durability: With a higher carbon content than 304, T316 offers greater hardness and tensile strength (1800lbs breaking load), ensuring your railing stays tight and secure for years.
• ✨ Long-Lasting Shine: More oxidation-resistant means it maintains its polished silver luster longer without turning dull or staining your deck.

Why 7x7 Construction?

• 🧶 Perfect Flexibility: 7x7 (7 groups of 7 strands) is softer and more pliable than 1x19 cable. This makes it much easier to work with, easier to cut, and easier to bend around corners or through posts during installation.
• ✂️ No Unraveling: The braided core is engineered to stay intact. It will not unravel or fray messily after cutting, ensuring a smooth insertion into your fittings.
• ✋ Smooth Surface: High-polishing treatment eliminates burrs, making the cable safe to touch and safe for children or pets.

FAQ

Q: Will this rust outdoors?
A: No. We use genuine T316 Marine Grade steel. Customers have reported using it in harsh Mid-Atlantic weather for years with zero signs of rust or weathering.

Q: Does the cable stretch or droop over time?
A: No. The 7x7 structural core is designed to minimize elongation. Once tensioned correctly, it holds its tightness extremely well.

Q: Can I use this for clotheslines or garden fences?
A: Yes! With a breaking strength of 1800lbs, it is overkill (in a good way) for clotheslines, string lights, or supporting heavy climbing plants.
