Therefore; - On a horizontal span with posts 1.1m there will be 10 cable runs required.
- Through collar kits are needed every 3 metres to ensure tension.
- On vertical posts 900mm high there will be 9 cable runs per metre.
Vertical information
- Each run requires right hand and left hand fixing post screws.
- Measure the height required between the bottom and top railings.
- Times this by how many cables runs are required.
Horizontal information
- End Collars (sold in pairs) are required at the start and end of each run
- Runs over 3m require Through Collar Kits to ensure tension is kept throughout
- Post inserts (sold in pairs) cover the drilled holes for aesthetics purposes
- If you have no access to one side of the post, fixing posts screws are required to screw into the wall or baton
- Angled collars are required for staircases etc. And can also be used for other angled applications.
