Outdoor cable tensioners

[Geordie Spark]

That;ll do nicely, You'll go far daown West Wales bach, any idea on how to increase the price of a pint of milk? I may get to do a propoer job then!

The Gaffer Tape serves a dual purpose Bach

1. It secures the T&E cable to the clothesline.

2. It protects the insulation of the T&E from the U. V. radiation of the sun's rays. NOTE! Silver coloured Gaffer Tape works best!

go for h07 flex, much better suited for outdoor applications than t+e.

Do a proper job would be the best advice.

No one has asked about anchorage points or height.

Is there really any point mentioning such things? I got the impression from the OP that he wasn't even going to put a catenary up and was looking to just fix the T&E at each end the same as an overhead line.

3mm Catenery wire.

T&E outside is considered poor practise due to UV tolerance however it would last 20 years with no problems.

Will it?? apart from having a very low UV tolerance, it's also susceptible to freezing temperatures that will not only affect the sheath but also the conductors insulation!! So if it is subject to freezing temperatures in the winter, coupled with high winds on a catenary wire, it ain't gonna last 20 years or anything like it!!

To be honest I recon he’s a builder or farmer wanting free advice. I don’t believe his profile.
More than once I’ve seen bricks ripped out of walls due to bad anchorage.

As far as I’m concerned he can do what he wants.

No insulation break down after 20+ YEARS.

Boody thing is Twisted and stretched to buggery though and is only fit for the scrap bin, lol

swa with catenary wire built in is what you need. otherwise h07n black flex would work on catenery wire but swa would be best

What about SY cable?

Googled it and not a good idea. Forget I asked.

Screwfix can supply wire bits and flexible conduit to run cable in !. Cable can be T&E with secondry protection. Cable ties fitted every 30-60cms. Cable should have RCD protection, earthing and proper heights.
