Awesome! I'm wanting to hang outside canvas on posts for shade and now know how to do it without sloppy slack! Thank you.

[@E-rigging]

Great! Glad it was helpful! Here's a sunshade project we did awhile back that might help you out further! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nl63nJSFftmtZ7M

[@shadowkhanh]

I've been looking on KZbin forever for this information. You're amazing.

[@E-rigging]

Thanks Khanh, glad we helped!

[@caleberwin65]

Me too. Don’t know how many search terms I tried to use.

[@exCanadian]

Your videos are ALWAYS top notch Tyler. Thank you.

[@E-rigging]

Thanks! That's what we aim for.

[@honda86tb]

This one brought back memories of hanging clothesline with dad. And having naked wire jab into my finger.

[@OrcinusLaryngologist]

Little red dot. Shake it off.

[@dougorourke4914]

Just some extra words of advice for people using this style of cable clamps. Two clamps is more than enough to hold even 10:1 safety ratio as long as the cable is strong enough. A lot of the time, there are three wire saddles added to help with hand tensioning the cable. I Am an Ironworker, JIW, local 86. This is the means for perimeter safety for most of our working floors. Never saddle a dead horse. The way you have the wire saddles are perfect here. We have cable tighteners, aka pork chops, Just two cable grabbers & a hand cranked wire pulley to get the final strength. Eliminating the need for a turnbuckle I've done many other things with these steel cables too. From prep/safety to finished reveal... SO . Much. Tapping. Hate lazy painters. This is also how we plumb up our columns too. One piece of advice. if you're gonna end up splicing two cables to make a length. Then you will need at least 3 wire saddles, with at least one pair going in the opposite direction, aka saddling a no longer dead horse Also, when tightening the nuts on your saddles, don't go hog wild on one side, just back n forth, switching sides evenly, and you'll never damage the cable to a point that reduces its structural integrity

Thank you

[@Hybridhero26]

Thank you!

[@jackiecurtin3500]

how do you attach the other end of a 100' cable, by hand?

[@courtneyhedrick4778]

Could you use this to hang fabric? For example to divide a 20' room - or would it sag in the center? THANK YOU!

[@E-rigging]

Yes you can! You are also right about the sag, you do not want to overload your cable assembly. This includes the weight of the actual cable. At 20' you can start to see sag if you do not take out enough tension when installing the cable. Make sure to get strong enough cable and a long enough turnbuckle. If you have any more questions our specialists are waiting for your appointment: bit.ly/3QXvxBU

[@courtneyhedrick4778]

@@E-rigging THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

[@tomsheehan589]

For a longer fence line, should a turnbuckle be installed either end of the line, or it this arrangement ok?

[@E-rigging]

Good question! For longer lengths of cable, you'll just need a turnbuckle with longer take-up length. You don't necessarily need turnbuckles at either end, in most cases. Thanks for the comment, Tom!

[@andrerodon3921]

Thanks! I know this video is a year old but do you have any suggestions for a method to connect a similar system to a galvanized steel pipe frame greenhouse?

[@steveanimatrix3887]

1:42 Same thing he described - use regular eye bolts instead of the lag eye bolt and drill holes in your pipe to run the bolt through with washer and nut

[@holg3070]

I’m not ok with all that Hardware. There is a potential to get scratched. A rope system for raspberries. And reaching in I would definitely scratch myself on the hardware. So my question is, is there a cleaner way to make this cable set up? More seamless?

[@E-rigging]

Great question! If you're looking for something more minimal, you can retrofit cable railing to trellis your raspberries. Head over to our HAAS Cable Railing channel to learn more kzbin.info/door/-vciN54UcfKl-i_Cf8Oz7g . Hope this helps!

Does the job I guess but not very pretty to look at
