Key Specifications & Features
Material: Usually T316 marine-grade stainless steel for maximum rust and corrosion resistance outdoors.
Cable Sizes: Commonly designed for 1/8-inch or 3/16-inch stainless steel wire rope.
Thread Types: Many modern tensioners use counter-threaded (left-hand and right-hand) configurations to allow smooth tightening of the turnbuckle body without twisting the attached cable.
Dimensions: Typical overall lengths range from 4 to 7 inches depending on the barrel body length (e.g., 2-inch or 3-inch bodies) and lag thread depth.
Installation Steps
Drill Pilot Holes: Mark and drill precise pilot holes into your wooden end-posts to match the lag screw size.
Swage the Cable: Insert the cut wire rope into the swage terminal hole and use a hydraulic or hand crimping tool to compress the fitting securely onto the cable.
Mount and Fasten: Screw the lag ends into the wood posts.
Tension the Run: Rotate the central turnbuckle barrel body to draw the fittings inward and tighten the cable to the desired tension.
