About this detail

A 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch steel tube vertical post is continuously welded to a steel bent plate and installed prior to pouring the concrete floor slab. Twelve 3/16 inch 7x7 stainless steel cables run horizontally through the posts, equally spaced with tension adjustment fittings and internal thread adjusters on both sides. A 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch stained wood top cap finishes the top of the post to match wood ceilings. At the base, the assembly anchors to a concrete slab over a steel deck and steel beam, complemented by a stained wood base, a painted drywall reveal, and painted gypsum board.
