Wire Rope Kits
Wire rope is the most common method of attaching netting to hard surfaces such as cement and brickwork. This is also the method employeed for the majority of professionally installed net systems. It is cost effective and gives a neat and professional finish. If you wish to minimise the number of nails being hammered into the timber (renting / future removal etc), you can adopt this wire rope method.
Basic Principal:
This method involves the installation of a tensioned wire rope which then acts as a support for net hanging. The netting is then attached to the rope using our NET-CLIPS or cable ties.
Can I install this myself? Definately. Only a basic level of handyman work is required, and most customers can successfully install a wire rope system. We supply a balustrade wire KIT. It includes all the basics you need to install it. (wire rope itself is sold seperately)
Eyelets are attached at each end of the wire run. We supply 3 options:
• Screw Eyelets for timber
• Bolts Eyelets for brackets or fences
• Dynabolt Eyelets for Brick, Cement etc
The wire rope is then fed around the eyelet, and secured using the supplied grip. At the other end, the wire rope is attached to a "turnbuckle" using the same method, and hand tightened. The turnbuckle is screws clockwise to tension the rope.
Once the rope is tensioned, you can then simply attach the netting to the rope using our net clips or cable ties. When using only one turnbuckle, distances of up to 15metres are recommended. If you place a turnbuckle at each end we recommend distances up to 30m, before you lose tension. Our kit comes complete with 1 turnbuckle, 2 eyelets and grip fasteners. You can also purchase additional eyelets for long runs or for going around corners.
When would you use this method?
This type of installation is common for:
• Securing netting on a balcony or verandah
• Attaching netting at ground level to tiles / pathways / cement
• Securing to the house brickwork
• Attaching to fencelines
