The components in this BLIKA cable railing system diy kit are solid. The black finish is sleek and didn't scratch during install. My only gripe is the paper instructions were a bit confusing, I just watched a YouTube video instead. Once we figured it out, the install went fast.
Finally finished our deck using the BLIKA cable railing system diy kit. Honestly, measuring took forever (measure twice cut once!!), but the result is sick. The hardware feels heavy and expensive, definitely not cheap junk. If you want that modern look without paying a contractor $10k, just get this BLIKA set.
I ordered 23 posts, which arrived in several different boxes. Customer service was excellent; they explained why they were shipped separately. Overall, installation was simple, and the railings look fantastic. See the pictures!
We decided to keep our existing 4x4 cedar posts but wanted to ditch the old balusters. Bought the BLIKA stainless steel cable and the lag screw fasteners to run through the wood. The hardware anchored into the wood posts solidly (make sure you pre-drill!). The wire ropes look super clean against the stained wood and tensioned up easily.
We used this BLIKA railing system to swap out our outdated stairs and are incredibly happy at the outcome. The kit has high-quality mounting hardware for the subfloor (wood or concrete), and we added a wood handrail with black 1/8 inch black cable wire. My husband did the install using the included instructions and online visual instillation help, but just a heads up, you WILL need these specific items to finish the job: a pneumatic crimper, 5/16" ID Black Angle Washers for Cable Railing Stair Ends, and the Stainless Steel 30 Degree Black Angle Beveled Washer for 1/8", 3/16" Cable Railing Hardware. You also need the Cable Railing Angled Washer for the posts.
