Keep the view. Lose the pickets.

Wire balustrade, also called cable balustrade or cable railing. Square posts in black or satin, 316 stainless wire run tight between them, and a top rail you actually want to lean on. Level posts, angled stair posts and side mounts. Supply only, or we arrange the install.

Where wire works, and where it doesn't.

Horizontal wire looks great and is legal in plenty of places. It is not a pool fence, and it isn't allowed where the drop is high enough that a child could climb it and fall a long way.

Good fit

Decks and stairs where the fall is under 4 metres, rural verandas, boardwalks, and anywhere you want the view through the barrier.

Not a fit

Pool barriers, and balconies where the floor is more than 4 metres above the ground below. Horizontal wires act as a ladder. Use glass or vertical wire there.

Tension is the whole game

Wire balustrades must meet set spacing and tension so a child's head can't push through. We supply the spacing chart and tensioning guide with every kit.
