> 24 hourI love the end result (though admittedly, my lights have been up for only three days now). The guy wires certainly provide a stronger attachment point for the lights and the hardware provides good anchor points on the house and garage. The mix of hardware was helpful, too, particularly the turnbuckle style hook and screw. That allowed more refined adjustment/tightening. So, why did I give this four stars and not five? Because the hardware that allows the user to create a loop at the end of the wire has holes that are BARELY able to allow the wire to pass through. What could have taken me a fraction of the time turned into a laborious, somewhat painful process of trying to thread the coated wire through one hole, pull it far enough through to allow it to double back and go into the second hole and pull THAT through far enough to tighten and clamp it off with the screws on either end of the unit. If the holes had been just a TINY bit larger, the coated wire would have passed through easily AND the screws on the ends would still have created a secure clamp that would have held everything in place. Thank goodness I only had to make two loops. Im planning to add a little more wire around a covered porch, but I dont look forward to having to tie off the ends of the wire with the included hardware. It didnt have to be such a pain in the neck (and fingers)!

> 24 hourFine kit and all, but did not come with the necessary cable clamps, so I had to buy those separately even though it clearly states they would be in there.

> 24 hourThe kit is really well priced for stainless hardware. The long cables can be used for several different installations. I used this to put shade cloth over my back yard and it really does the trick. The hardware is a bit smaller than I expected but its adequate for the application. I avoided using the screws included as they didnt seem big enough to hold the tension. The cable clamps look tiny but work surprisingly well.

> 24 hourProduct came fast,item was neat,I need to use as a clothes line ,the screws to tighten the cable werent able to hold the wire together at both ends ,so the wire kept slipping out and falling to the ground with the weight of the wet clothes .I had to cut more cable with about 1ft extra on each sides and used double set of clamps on each end to try to hold the weight,its workingnow ,but waiting to see outcome after more use

> 24 hourFirst - there is a recent review by Sean indicating the wire rope doesnt fit. It DOES fit if you strip the vinyl coating off. Ill note is the same for most wire rope terminations with vinyl coated wire. Once you strip it off (I used a utility knife and vice grips) you can easily create terminations. Overall really great kit to put up string lights - really is everything you need to put up a set at a really great price point. Noteable: - The 130 pieces are black twist ties not zip ties - I had thought they were zip ties think its reasonably clear if you read more but I missed it when I looked at the picture. In the end think the twist ties work better than the zip ties. Cons: - Lack of instructions (see first item) - think if youre reasonably familiar with wire rope you can fake your way through it but some guidance on what recommended interconnections to use (ie turnbuckle vs carabiner vs hook vs eye strap) - I used mostly turnbuckle to hook but in retrospect turnbuckle to eye strap may have been a marginally better choice. - When you cut wire rope the end will try to fray which the kit didnt provide anything or any instruction on how to deal with that - I used cable end caps from the bike parts bin but think tape works as well
