DIY Turnbuckle System
Overview
The DIY Turnbuckle System is our most economical DIY system. It is suitable for use with timber and metal posts¹ and is great for both straight sections and stair sections. Tension is created on the wire by rotation of the turnbuckle body. Tightening the nuts against the body of the turnbuckle locks the system in place.
