    For 36” posts or 42" posts, 4 feet of spacing (center to center) is recommended to minimize deflection between the cables when pushing a 4" ball in between two cables. To accommodate such standards, railing projects may incorporate 3 ½" or less of spacing between cables taking into account the cable deflection caused by the posts spacing.

    The main function of an OWSJ is to provide direct support for roof or floor deck and to transfer the load imposed on the deck to the structural frame i.e. beam and column. In order to accurately design an OWSJ, engineers consider the joist span between bearing points, joist spacing, slope, live loads , dead loads , collateral loads, seismic ...

As with a king post, the queen posts may be replaced with iron rods and thus called a queen rod truss.
