Wire Balustrade DIY Starter Bundle 'Modern' Style - Jaw/Swage Kit #1, 33 Kits, 150m 1x19 Wire & Tools

Starter Bundle - Jaw/Swage Kit #1, 33 Kits, 150m 1x19 Wire & Tools

This starter pack features the incredibly popular Jaw/Swage style of balustrading and all the tools you need to install it. Easy-to-Install with a streamlined look, Kit #1 has allowed views across beaches, balconies and newly built decks. If you have a U-shaped deck with timber posts this DIY starter bundle might be what your home improvement project needs. This bundle pack is the perfect setup for three sections of wire balustrading where you have 1 metre high, 40mm or thicker hand rail, allowing you to creating 33 horizontal runs approximately 4 metres each. Kit #1 can be used for runs up to 10 metres between timber posts (more wire may need to be purchased however).

Perfect for fixing wire rope runs to timber posts, this very popular streamlined Jaw/Swage Kit #1 features a Jaw/Swage Bottlescrew M5 x 1/8" (3.2mm), a Fork Terminal 5mm x 1/8" (3.2mm) and 2qty M6 x 40mm Lag Eye Screws. 40mm lag eye screws are perfect for 90mm timber posts as their shorter length helps prevent screws clashing in the centre.

We've included 1x19 3.2mm stainless wire rope as it is highly recommended with this kit due to it's better tensioning capabilities and smoother appearance.

If you need additional wire you can find more 1x19 3.2mm wire here.

If you need additional kits you can find Kit #1 here.

All fittings are stainless steel 316 and require hydraulic swaging. This is an easier method than mechanical swaging but requires more pressure. We've bundled in our 5T light duty hydraulic swaging tool to do the job.

It's recommended to use the purpose built lag eye screw driver bit to easily drive the lag eye screws into your timber posts (pre-drilling recommended).

The wire rope cutters included are perfect for cutting the 3.2mm wire rope. They cut cleanly with a precise one-hand shearing action that eliminates frayed ends.

The nifty spanner multi tool helps tension the bottlescrews so you can have a taught wire. Simply hook the nib on the side of the spanner into the bottlescrew and turn to tension. Make sure to turn the bottlescrew to pull on or loosen the wire and avoid twisting the wire istelf.

Stainless Steel Grade AISI 316 1x19 3.2mm now available in 25M, 50M, 75M, 100M, 200M, and 305M reels. Marine Grade Stainless Steel AISI 316 has the highest corrosion protection, making this wire rope perfect for highly corrosive environments including beachfront properties with high salinity levels.

If you want to customise this you can! Just go to each of the product pages (in the list above) and add them to cart as you need.
