inserts instead of hook bolts.
Posts can be driven in soil, installed
in sleeves set in asphalt, or installed with concrete foundations.
Cables are tensioned on site and tension can be customized by installers to meet site needs.
The system is visually appealing, see-through, and allows snow to pass through preventing buildup and potential ramping.
