My issue is that I have 5mm hot-dip gal posts and I'm desperately trying to avoid having to drill a million holes for all my cable saddles. It will take an eternity. I'm looking for a welding option where the cable end fittings can be welded to my steel post. Those saddles look too thin to weld. Does anyone have any ideas how to use a cable balustrade system with welding instead of screwing saddles to the steel posts?
