This is one of our most popular DIY wire balustrade kits, this entry level kit is perfect for run fixing 3.2mm stainless steel 316 wire rope between timber or metal posts.
Suitable for wire rope runs less than 10 metres.
To determine the wire length required, measure the internal post-to-post measurement. Then cut the wire 60mm shorter than the measurement. For example, if your internal post-to-post measurement is 2000mm, your wire length will be 1940mm.
Simply fix a saddle with one screw into the post with the self tapping screws. Loop a thimble into one of the turnbuckle eyes. Thread the wire rope through a swage, loop it around the thimble and back into the swage. Swage/crimp the wire rope using our 350mm mechanical hand swaging tool or 600mm mechanical hand swaging tool or light duty hydraulic swaging tool. Loop the turnbuckle eye through the saddle. Drive the remaining screw into the post. repeat the process with the remaining swage and thimble at the other end. Tension wire rope with the turnbuckle.
1x19 wire is unsuitable for looping around thimbles. A more flexible wire, either 7x7 (most common) or 7x19 must be used.
