After we the bridge was tightened and tuned, I cut all the cable tails and wrapped them with heat-shrink tubing. I welded on two rings at the anchor (had to drab the welder down the hill for this oversight) for the bridge-railing top roaps, and strung the other ends through holes in the deck railing posts. Marlen and the kids did all the stringing and knotting of the bridge roap railing. It's also tied at the bottom onto the lower two cables so it's also a functional safety railing. All the rope is un-manila - a manila looking synthetic roap - for long life and spliterless use. Davis and I then got busy putting railing around the deck. Oh, Dottie helped too in her own way.
