FAQ Can I install this method myself? Yes, even someone with no experience can easily install all our wire balustrade systems. Do I need any special tools? Other than common handyman tools such as an electric drill with 4mm drill bit, you will need a hand swaging tool and a set of wire rope cutters. You can purchase an optional ProRig Multi Tool for easier installation. What size and type of stainless steel wire do I use? This method is almost always used with 3mm 7x7 stainless steel wire rope. This wire is the most functional for stainless steel wire balustrade systems due to its bright surface finish, attractive appearance, durability, strength, and low stretch. What spacings do I need between my wires? When using a 3mm 7x7 stainless steel wire, you will usually need 80mm spacing (usually 11 runs) between your wires when using a standard one (1) metre high handrail.
