Frequently asked questions

What can I use this thin steel wire rope for?

Applications include tension wires in model making, miniature structures, wire art, decorations and suspending lightweight signs or objects. You can also use it to guide lightweight climbing plants or to support a pond net. Always ensure the application is appropriate for the stated load capacity of the wire rope and its fittings.

Can I use this wire rope around a pond?

Yes, 304 stainless steel is suitable for many applications around ponds. The thin wire rope is discreet and can support a lightweight net structure, for example. Consider animals when installing it: avoid loose loops and places where they could become entangled.

Can I use the wire rope to deter herons and storks?

The wire rope can form part of a system designed to make access more difficult for herons. The result depends on its placement and the layout of the pond. Ensure the wires are sufficiently visible to birds and do not pose an entanglement risk.

Can I use it to support a leaf net?

Yes, the wire rope can serve as a supporting ridge line over which a lightweight leaf net is draped. Whether 0.9 mm is suitable depends on the span, the tension in the wire rope and the weight of materials such as wet leaves. Always check the load capacity of the complete structure beforehand.

Is this wire rope suitable as a safety barrier for children?

No. This thin steel wire rope is not suitable for child safety around a pond. Use a purpose-designed safety fence or safety cover. Thin wires do not provide adequate protection against access to the water.

Is 304 stainless steel completely rustproof?

304 stainless steel offers good resistance to rust, but not under all conditions. Salt and chlorine can attack the material. Its suitability therefore depends on the environment in which the wire rope is used.

How do I make a loop at the end?

Use a crimp sleeve suitable for 0.9 mm steel wire rope and fit it using the specified tool. Small aluminium crimp sleeves are available in the Thinline range. The connection also affects how much load the wire rope can safely carry.

How many metres will I receive?

You will receive one reel containing 100 metres of 0.9 mm stainless steel wire rope. The listed price is for the complete reel.
