Peddy Shield Set of 4 Steel Cable Tensioners
Code: OZ_PD-04-77-01-04Product detailed description
Compact steel cable tensioners for the cable shading system
Four Universal tensioners from the German brand Peddy Shield are used to fix and tension a 2 mm stainless steel cable. The package does not include the cable, making it suitable for supplementing shading using leftover material from a previous installation. The "U" shape with dimensions of 42x20x30 mm ensures discretion and creates only a 2 cm light gap between the fabric and the beam.
Elegant
covers
The set includes light grey plastic covers to conceal the mechanical joints.
Quick
tensioning
An integrated nut allows smooth and firm tensioning of the guide cable.
Set for
one bay
4 tensioners are exactly enough to create a shading line in one bay of a pergola.
Minimal
gap
The guide cable runs right next to the rafter, resulting in a gap of only 2 cm.
Technical advantages of Peddy Shield Universal tensioners
This German patent offers great mechanical strength and easy installation into structures without affecting the overall appearance of the pergola or conservatory.
- Space-saving design: The compact dimensions of the tensioner (42x20x30 mm) ensure that the mechanical elements are almost imperceptible on the rafters.
- Easy fixing: The entire tensioner is attached to the supporting element with a single screw through an integrated 6 mm mounting hole.
- Complementary nature of the set: An ideal choice for customers who have leftover stainless steel cable from purchasing complete sets, allowing them to save on the cost of buying duplicate material.
- Option of a premium design: The standard white-grey plastic covers can be replaced on request with premium chrome covers .
Specific installation rules for wood and aluminium
Safe shading operation and joint durability require choosing the anchoring type according to the specific base material.
Anchoring into wooden structures
Installation into wood allows the use of either of the two holes on the tensioner. Common, sufficiently long wood screws are entirely adequate for fastening to the beams.
Anchoring into aluminium profiles
Fastening into aluminium and thin sheet metal requires anchoring only through the lower hole of the base. This creates a transverse load that prevents the fastener from pulling out. It is advisable to choose sturdy Torx head screws.
WARNING: Position the tensioners so that the screws face transverse (shear) pressure, not direct tension acting along the direction of their thread.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Steel Cable Tensioners
Does this set also include the stainless steel guide cable?
No, this set includes only 4 Universal tensioners and 4 plastic covers. It serves as a replacement for those who already have a 2 mm stainless steel cable available from another installation.
What are the exact dimensions of one tensioner?
The tensioner, measuring 42 x 20 x 30 mm, has 6 mm mounting holes. This allows the use of standard structural screws or wood screws for the job.
How close to the rafter will the cable run after installation?
The low U-profile guides the cable right next to the beams. The gap between the edge of the shading fabric and the rafter reaches only 2 cm, effectively limiting light penetration.
Can this system also be safely anchored into aluminium?
Yes, the system also fits aluminium. The tensioner should be fastened through the base using Torx screws so that the joint faces transverse shear. This prevents it from loosening from the thin profile.
