Evening all.

need some advice on best way to approach hanging cable from catenary.

About 3-4m high one end, approx 15-20m wire, down to 2.5m at other end. In a rear garden, no traffic/hazards. Now obviously sticing up the wire will be easy, but how/what is the best way to hang the swa from it. Is it as simple as say stepladders and cable tie? or is there an easier way

many thanks in advance.

catenary wire with armoured attached and cable tie thats how i do it... mind you ive cable tied the flexes across for the christmas lights :eek: :D :^O

 
Cable tie cable to wire and black insulation tape around it. Fix cable first and use cable strainer to tension up.

Would this be generally a one man job or not. Obviously I've explained as good as poss the lenghts - heights,

i doubt it will be a 1 person job. really, your gonna have to fix SWA to cat wire first. and its going to be hard to pull it upto wall/hook etc on your own!

Depends on size of cable, generally I manage them by myself.
