I know some of you have beautiful decks with great views that you don't want obstructed. The deck on our house (not used by guests) originally had no railing. It only had 6" tall planter boxes attached to the edge of the deck all the way around. It was great for not blocking the view of the lake, and reminded you of where the edge of the deck was, but it wasn't safe.
With the arrival of bwirt, it needed to be changed. We needed a safe railing but still didn't want to obstruct the view. The best option for us was stainless steel cable. If anyone has a similar need for safety with unobstructed views, I highly reccommend it.
Here's the final view (crappy gray day in NY I am afraid).
If you are interested in the nuts and bolts (harr harr) here is a blog entry on the entire process of installing the cable railing
