35m Heavy Duty Garden Pergola Kit with 77pcs Stainless Steel Wire Rope and Clamps for Climbing Plants

This garden wire set arrived in a simple cardboard box and contains x1 35 metre length of 2mm wire encased in a PVC coating, x6 tensioner turnbuckles, x12 eye hooks, x16 rawl plugs, x8 wire clamps, x20 aluminium crimping loops, x14 loop wire thimbles, an easy-to-follow user guide with clear images and a wrench to help tighten the clamp. The wire can be used for a variety of applications including for hanging lights and creating a washing line, but we are using these in our garden for climbing plants. I would say that installation isn’t completely straight forward as you will need wire cutters, pliers, a drill (if installing into stone or brickwork) and a bit of determination, but the results are neat and aesthetic. Note that the ‘thimbles’ are impossible to pull apart as in the images however, if you twist the ends away from each other (like you do with jump rings in jewellery) and press the loop together again once installed, this is much easier. The components are made from 304 stainless steel so should be resistant to rusting and the twisted wire is encased within a vinyl layer to protect it long term. The wire is made up from a total of 49 thin wires twisted together to make a very strong cable and is vinyl coated to protect it from the elements, making it both waterproof and rust resistant. The wire has a high breaking strength and overall feels incredibly durable. The only problem I had during installation was the wire, as whilst unravelling it, the cable did become very tangled so we did have to spend about 20 minutes untangling it. We have installed the cabling set up into a wooden fence so had no need for the rawl plugs, but this addition does mean that you can install the cable into masonry as well. Otherwise, installation was straight forward with aesthetic, neat results. Priced at £19.98 (with an additional 5% off voucher valid until the 12th June 2025) at the time of reviewing, this seems like a good price for the quality of this cable kit and it is ideal for installation in the garden. The wire looks very neat and appears invisible from a distance, whilst still being highly functional for supporting plants. We are really happy with the final appearance and would be happy to recommend.

This kit has all you need to string at least four complete wires, depending on how you use the components. The instructions are fairly brief, but after a bit of trial-and-error I was able to assemble some pleasingly-formed tight wires for hanging. The wire itself is plastic-coated. It's fairly difficult to cut with standard pliers/cutters, but I managed it without too much trouble. It takes a bit of effort to pull it tight around the loop-forming parts and complete the piece with a collett and a clamp. I've deducted one star because in order to get the wire neatly attached to the tensioner, it was necessary to spring one of those loop-formers over the eyelet, and I could find no easy way to do that: it took a lot of struggling with pliers, and a slightly deformed loop-former. Perhaps I was missing something: the instructions showed one in place, but I couldn't see any way to get it there without a lot of effort. The end result is good, though: the completed wires look smart, and are easy enough to hang up and tension, for indoor or ourdoor use.

I have several climbing plants that need support, like a rambling Rose and a couple of Clematis, and this kit is perfect for giving them the framework to clamber up. They come supplied in a basic box with all the components bagged for safety. You will need to supply your own tools for putting them up (although they do supply an allen key). We used pliers to open up the ends/ cut the wire, and a drill to screw into the wall. Basically you need to attach one end, cut the wire to the correct length, before securing the other end. You can then tension the wire using the included turnbuckles (which are brilliant!). The wire is lovely - it's plastic coated so that it stands up to the weather better, and appears very strong (certainly strong enough to support my plants). The fixings appear to be stainless steel too, which will last longer, and they're all well made - no poor seams or sharp pieces sticking out. It's a brilliant little kit and exactly what I needed. I've not used all the kit either, as plenty of pieces are supplied, and I think it's priced well for all the included components. I've very happy with this kit and definitely recommend.
