Article Summary

Alumina designed, fabricated, and installed custom 42" tall stainless-steel cable railings around a classical gazebo at Arlington Memorial Gardens. The result is a modern, open, and secure environment that enhances views while providing safety and durability for outdoor conditions.

A Seamless Blend of Elegance and Function at Arlington Memorial Gardens

Alumina is proud to showcase our recent collaboration with Arlington Memorial Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio. This project highlights our expertise in designing, fabricating, and installing modern cable infill railings around a beautiful, stamped stone patio and domed gazebo. The objective was clear: deliver safety and structure without sacrificing the serene view of the water and surrounding memorial features.

A Closer Look at the Project Scope

Nestled within the peaceful grounds of Arlington Memorial Gardens, the project centered around a neoclassical gazebo surrounded by a circular patio overlooking a reflective pond and fountains. Our task was to provide custom 42" tall railings that complemented the classical architecture without overpowering it.

Our solution? Sleek stainless-steel cable rail infill that protects sightlines and ensures a secure, long-lasting perimeter for guests.

Merging Classical Form with Contemporary Function

One of the standout challenges of this project was respecting the traditional elements of the gazebo - fluted columns, Corinthian-style capitals, and a domed roof - while integrating a modern safety barrier. Cable railing was the perfect choice. Its minimalistic, horizontal lines preserve openness and visibility, echoing the lightness and balance of the surrounding landscape.

Whether viewed from the gazebo or across the lake, the railings enhance the view rather than obstruct it, offering a peaceful yet protected space for visitors.

Why In-House Fabrication Matters

At Alumina, we custom-fabricate every railing system in-house. This not only gives us full control over scheduling and delivery, but also ensures precision and quality throughout the process. For Arlington Memorial Gardens, we:

  • Measured and assessed the site layout
  • Delivered a detailed quote
  • Fabricated all rail components to spec
  • Applied a durable powder coat finish
  • Installed the system efficiently and cleanly on-site

This streamlined process minimized delays and ensured the railing system was perfectly aligned with the patio’s curve and design intent.

Structural Benefits of Cable Infill Railings

Cable infill systems offer more than just sleek visuals. For an open, breezy environment like Arlington, they provide several functional advantages:

  • Unobstructed views of the memorial garden and water features
  • Wind resistance due to air gaps between cables
  • Corrosion resistance, thanks to premium stainless steel construction
  • Safety compliance for public spaces

Each railing system is also paired with aluminum posts and a robust tensioning system to maintain structural integrity over time.

Visual Impact and Visitor Experience

The result is a graceful balance between utility and beauty. The cable railing hugs the patio perimeter, echoing its circular shape and framing the view without intrusion. Whether hosting a memorial service, a small ceremony, or simply providing a place for quiet reflection, this space now feels both open and secure.
