Tension Wire for Fencing - Heavy-Duty Support Cable
High-tensile galvanized steel tension wire for reinforcing fence lines and supporting fence panels. Essential component for chain link, wire mesh, and other fence installations requiring additional structural support. Available in various diameters to match your specific application needs. The galvanized coating provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and environmental damage.
This critical component ensures your fence maintains proper tension and structural integrity over time, preventing sagging and extending the life of your fencing system. Perfect for residential, commercial, and industrial fencing applications where durability and strength are essential. The high-tensile steel construction provides superior strength while the galvanized coating ensures long-term performance in Kenya's climate conditions. The 500m spool provides sufficient length for most fence installations, and the various diameter options allow for customization based on your specific requirements.
