Each wire is available by the metre or in a 305m roll. If you require 150m for example select the metre listing and add 150 as the quantity. You will receive 1 continuous length.
Stainless wire rope comes in 3 main constructions (also referred to as the lay). 1x19 (one by nineteen), 7x7 and 7x19. The numbers indicate the number of strands used in the twist of the wire. For example, 7x7 is made up of 7 thin wires twisted together and then 7 of these twisted together again. In total there are 49 individual wires twisted to make the one strand of stainless steel wire. The more strands that are twisted, the more flexible the wire becomes.
1x19: Available in sizes from 1mm up to 10mm. Most commonly used with hydraulically swaged fittings. This is the stiffest wire available for balustrading. This wire is not suitable for Thimble and Ferrule type swages.
7x7: Available in sizes from 0.6mm to 12mm. This is the most common wire used for DIY balustrading. It is a semi-flexible wire and is suitable for use with Thimble and Ferrule fittings as well as hydraulically swaged fittings.

Look. At the end of the day, wire balustrade is for creating a barrier to keep people safe. It"s a barrier. And it"s got to be suitable for preventing people from getting injured from a fall. And let"s be clear, we"re talking about your children, your sister"s or brother"s kids when they come over to play, your dogs and your parents who may or may not have their original hips, or if you"re lucky enough, your grandparents. No one wants to see them fall. No one wants to get injured. If you keep safety in mind when choosing how you"ll set up your wire balustrade, then the decision making becomes a little easier.
Always stick to the Building Code of Australia (BCA) guidelines and gain approval from your local council to ensure your wire balustrade is legal and safe. You can download the National Construction Code (NCC) 2019 for free. It"s not hard, everyone has the NBN now... OK so maybe not, but you have the internet so you can definitely check it out.
The below table is derived from NCC Volume 2 Amendment 1, section 3.9.2.1 which details the required tension for stainless steel wires, when used for a barrier (wire balustrade).
Most residential wire balustrades use 3.2mm diameter wire rope – usually either 1x19 or 7x7 constructions. The below 3.0mm diameter figures can be substituted for 3.2mm (as per Note. 3).
The span (distances) between posts, including any intermediate posts. Due to regulations you may require more posts to stop your wires from spreading.
Entry level wire balustrade systems are versatile and be used for both flat and stair areas as well as for timber or metal posts. They can also be installed with low cost mechanical tools. Bear in mind they"re more time consuming and tricky to install and also more bulky in appearance. If price is your only priority then these are your best bet.
Neat, slimline and more aesthetically pleasing systems are typically easier to install. With these systems you’ll maximise your views and keep your wires barely seen. They require strong hydraulic crimping tools, but don’t worry, they’re available for rent or purchase. Alternately, your wires can be professionally prepared by our team (called Factory Swaging) for you or a trade professional to simply and easily install... so you can get back your weekend and spend your time on something you’d rather be doing!
Mechanical swaging is the method of using a hand operated swaging/crimping tool, to loop stainless steel wire (usually 7x7 or 7x19 constructions) around a thimble and secure the wire together to forma loop using a copper swage fitting.
Hydraulic swaging is the method of securing a stainless wire to a stainless swage fitting, which can then be secured to a post or other fixing point. 1x19 wire rope requires this swaging method as it is too stiff to loop around a thimble.
The purpose of wire balustrade (also sometimes called cable railing, but mainly in the US) is first and foremost to provide a barrier to prevent injury or possibly death. With this in mind, you do not want to allow a 125mm sphere (ie. a baby’s head) to pass between your wire runs. The easiest way to achieve this is to keep your wire spacing close together, keep tension on the wire and to have short intermediate post spacings.
Conversely the further apart the wires are spaced, the more tension you"ll require to stop it spreading apart and you"ll need closer intermediate post spacing.
Also be aware, the further apart you have your intermediate post spacings, the more tension you are going to require on your wire. as intermediate post spans increase, the wires can be more easily spread apart. This is something that you want to avoid it at all costs.
1. The first thing you need to decide on is which wire balustrade kit (system) you like/want. You can check them out on our wire balustrade kits page. The ones with the most reviews are our best sellers.
If you have a combination of metal posts and timber posts, we recommend you purchase a mix of the timber and metal post kits. If you require additional end fittings, we also supply them loosely here.
2. Then you need to work out how many metres of balustrade wire you need (measure the post-to-post measurement for each section you want to run wire between. Then multiply the measurement by the number of wires you want to run.) Always grab a bit extra, just in case. You can then choose which crimping/swaging tool: hydraulic or mechanical. For a description on these, see above.
For 3.2mm wire, the sweet spot for tension is between 1000mm to 1500mm intermediate post spacing. Any more than this and it becomes very difficult to tension the wire enough to meet regulation. And too much less than this, although perfectly OK, may start to increate costs as posts are added and visual bulk is increased.
For most standard applications, where a 40mm thick (or more) handrail is 1000mm above the trafficable surface, then 11 runs of wire spaced at 80mm are required.
Swaging, pronounced ‘sway-jing’, also known as crimping is the process of securing fittings to wire rope, so that they become a single assembly. This allows you to fix the end of your wire rope run to a post or other fixing point. Swaging requires specialist tools which are usually either mechanical or hydraulic. You can either do this yourself by buying or renting the appropriate tools, have a tradesman complete it for you or you can opt to have it completed in the factory, such as with our factory hydraulic swaging service.
7x7 wire rope is a construction of 7 sets of 7 wires. It is flexible and can loop around thimbles, allowing it to be easily crimped with metal copper swage fittings. 3.2mm wire 7x7 has a tensile strength around 6.2kN, which amounts to over 600KG of break load – which is strong! Common 7x7 uses include espalier and trellis systems, wire rope slings, catenary wire and wire balustrading.
1x19 wire rope construction is the strongest construction, made from 19 individual strands twisted in a helical fashion. It is the heaviest, least flexible wire with the highest break load of over 8kN or 800KGs. It also has the least stretch over the same tension compared with the other constructions. It requires stainless swage fittings such as bottlescrews, fork terminals and swage stud terminals to connect the wire to the fixing point (ie. post). These fittings require hydraulic swaging. There is physically more stainless steel metal in 1x19 construction, so don’t be fooled by just comparing 3.2mm diameter constructions by price. Common 1x19 applications include architectural projects, Melbournes tram stop balustrades (5mm) and marine yacht stays and wire balustrading.
7x19 wire rope has 7 sets of 19 wires. It is the most flexible and can also loop around thimbles allowing it to be easily crimped with copper swage fittings. It is less common for wire balustrading. Common 7x19 applications include catenary wire, shop window light boxes, gym equipment cables and bore water pump securing.
Unfortunately for wire balustrade, the adage "cheapest and easiest" doesn"t really apply. Sorry!! We didn"t make these rules up! :) The cheapest isn"t the easiest to install and work with. Conversely the easiest isn"t the cheapest (hip pocket wise!). Choosing wire balustrade options is usually combination of 3 main factors: aesthetics (prettiness), ease of installation (elbow grease as well as fiddly-ness and time) and price. There isn"t any "magic bullet" wire balustrade system that the industry has standardised on, because these 3 factors are at odds with each other. If the best looking, easiest to install system was cheap then everyone would choose that one and that would be it!
Wire balustrade systems that utilise hydraulic crimping are by far the most slimline. Hydraulically swaged stainless steel fittings are typically thin, neat and slightly larger in diameter than the wire. We stock a wide range of hydraulic swage fittings for wire balustrade. ProRig has a number of original design systems which we stock and sell, which focus on aesthetics above all else; minimal bulk and smaller fittings with concealed fixing points.
In a nutshell, for 3.2mm wire most systems can handle up to a 7-10 metre span. The reason for this is it becomes more difficult to crank up the tension for a longer run. For spans longer than these, you can choose a different but similar kit, with a second tensioner (bottlescrew or turnbuckle). Otherwise, you may want to split the run into two runs.
Usually not. Changing direction decreases your ability to tension the wire. The more acute the direction change, the harder it will be to maintain wire tension. 1x19 wire rope is not flexible and will struggle to change direction. Always remember, to meet NCC regulations you need to stop the wire from spreading apart to allow a 125mm sphere to pass through. Any change in wire direction will facilitate exactly that. Furthermore, the wire will chafe and put undue stress on your posts. We simply can"t recommend it.
Secondly, trying to change direction whilst passing through a post can prove problematic. Not only will you need to potentially drill holes at different angles, you’ll also need to ensure you put grommets on the runs to stop the wire from chaffing on the exit hole.
You would be surprised at just how much wire tension is required to create a suitable barrier and meet the NCC regulations. Even with 1000mm to 1500mm spans, the wire will need to pluck like a guitar string. Enough to prevent a 125mm sphere from being pushed between the wires. But be careful not to over-tension the wire as it will place stress on the fittings and your posts. The amount the wire moves when a force is applied to it is called deflection. Furthermore, the NCC stipulates the maximum permissible deflection for stainless steel wires, as illustrated by table 3.9.2.3 above. You"ll see that some intermediate post spans have an "x" - indicating that these run lengths would exceed the safe load of the wire.
You can measure wire tension a number of ways. You can suspend a 2kg mass at the centre-most point of a wire span and measure the deflection (measured in mm). You can also use a wire balustrade tension gauge.
Softwood end posts are not recommended for a number of reasons. But we understand that your posts may be pre-existing, or the decision to install wire balustrade was made after the posts were installed. Most systems are designed to work best with hardwood posts, as they will hold the fittings better under higher wire tension. To combat this issue, it"s recommended to reduce the wire tension required to meet the NCC regulations. You can do this by ensuring you keep your intermediate post spans as close together as possible and don"t go above 80mm wire spacing. If you push the limits, then to meet the regulations you"ll be putting more tension on the wire which will potentially pull it out of the post.
You can look at predrilling your fittings with smaller drill sizes to allow the threading on your fittings more bite into the timber. Another option is to look at a system such as Swage Stud Terminal & Hex Socket Tensioner Stainless Wire Balustrade Kit #64 which fixes to the outsides of the timber posts, rather than the more common "inside-to-inside" post systems. You might need to grab some washers to spread the load of the fittings on the timber, however.

I"m very happy with the result! Looks really good and was exactly what I was aiming for. Price was definitely a lot cheap than the stuff I saw at Bunnings too.
To pass the wire through the intermediate post I drilled a 7.5mm hole. This is the size drill recommended for screwing the ends into the posts so I just used the same one. Apparently a 7mm hole is all that is required however I found some were a bit tight when threading the wire with fittings through even with the 7.5mm hole.
When screwing those ends into the post it took a lot of battery power from my cordless drill/screwdriver! They"re big screws and going into hardwood. I also had some problems with the merbau posts splitting around the edges of the hole when putting the fittings in. I ended up drilling the first 5mm with a slightly larger drill (can"t remember the size) and using a large (12mm) drill to slightly countersink. I found the trick in doing this too was to put the drill in reverse! As there was already the 7.5mm hole when I tried to countersink the drill bit would grab and pull itself into the post
