Collection: DIY Stainless Wire Balustrade Kits
There are many combinations of fittings that can be used in stainless wire balustrading. We have combined the most common fittings into our balustrade DIY Kits. Each kit contains all the fittings required to complete one strand of wire.
Each DIY kit contains fittings for the two end posts. These are usually Saddles (for steel or timber posts) or Lag Screws (for timber posts, brick or concrete walls (use with wall plugs). The kit also contains the fittings for the ends of the wire, one of which will be a
Rigging Screw or Turnbuckle to tension the wire.
One Kit can span up to 10 meters. You will usually run the wire through the
middle of any centre post only terminating on a corner or end post. If the span between ends is greater than 10 meters we would strongly recommend you split the run in half and use 2 lots of kits.
Hand Swaged Wire Balustrading Kits
Hand-swaged kits use a thimble and ferrule at each end of the wire to create a loop, which is then used to attach the fittings. When using a hand-swaged kit, you will need to assemble the wires onsite after they have been passed through any center posts. A hand-swaging tool is required to complete this process.
These kits require 3.2mm 7x7 wire.
For more details about each kit, make sure to click on the product information link for each kit below.
Pre-Swaged DIY Balustrade Kits
Pre-swaged kits (ready-made balustrade wires) come pre-cut to the required length, with the fittings hydraulically pressed (swaged) onto the ends of the wire. These kits are the easiest to use, as no special tools are needed. When purchasing this type of kit, we’ll need the inside-to-inside measurements of your two end posts. You can still pass the wire through any center posts by drilling an 8mm hole.
We recommend using Pre-Swaged Kits with saddles for steel posts and Pre-Swaged Kits with lag screws for timber posts.
Each wire will be approximately plus and minus 30mm of adjustment from the length provide. If your posts are not perfectly vertical, please provide the average length for us to customize the wires.
Please note that you will need to purchase the wire separately from the kit. To calculate the total wire required, multiply the number of wires by the length of each wire. For example:
- 11 x 1554 = 17,094mm (17.094 meters)
- 11 x 2459 = 27,049mm (27.049 meters)
- 11 x 5654 = 62,194mm (62.194 meters)
- Total wire required = 106 meters
During checkout, please type the required lengths and quantities in the comments section.

Wire Required
All kits are suited to 3.2mm wire. Hand Swaged kits should use 7x7 3.2mm wire and Pre-Swaged Kits should use 1x19 3.2mm wire. You should note that Hand Swaged Kits can NOT be used with 1x19 wire.
How many wires should you use?
