A barrier panel is formed of a first rail member and a second rail member with at least one vertical support member mounted to and extending between the first rail member and second rail member. The first rail member includes first openings spaced apart along its length. The second rail member includes second openings spaced apart along its length. Vertical cables are mounted to and extend between the first rail member and second rail member. A first end of each vertical cable is secured within one of the first openings and a second end of each vertical cable is secured within an opposite one of the second openings. End members configured to adjust tension in the vertical cables are concealed by a pair of leg members of the second rail member.

Vertical cable rail barrier

A vertical cable barrier includes a top rail defining a plurality of top through holes spaced apart along a top web portion. A bottom rail includes a bottom web portion and a pair of bottom leg portions, where the bottom web portion and the pair of bottom leg portions form a channel, and the bottom web portion defines a plurality of bottom through holes spaced apart along the bottom web portion and aligned with the top through holes. A vertical cable is disposed on each side of a rigid support member. Each vertical cable includes a top end directly attached to a hollow tubular shank of a first top swage fitting and a bottom end of received in and directly attached to a hollow tubular shank of a first bottom swage fitting, where the top end of the vertical cable extends through one of the plurality of top through holes, and the bottom end of the vertical cable extends through one of the bottom through holes that is disposed in vertical alignment with the one top through hole. A first adjustable end member is coupled to the first bottom swage fitting and at least part of the first adjustable end member is disposed within the channel, wherein adjusting the first adjustable member adjusts a tension in the vertical cable.

A method for manufacturing an armrest includes making a plurality of core sections. Each core section is formed by bonding a plurality of waste pieces of high-quality wood together. Each of two adjacent ends respectively of two adjacent core sections is machined to provide a serrated coupling face having a plurality of grooves and a plurality of protrusions. The core sections are bonded together to form a core having a desired length by applying adhesive to the serrated coupling faces. A plurality of upper boards made of the same material as the core is bonded to a top side of the core. A plurality of lateral boards made of the same material as the core is bonded to each of two lateral sides of the core.
