    Hi can anyone help me?

    I have a customer who has a restaurant and wishes to display his menus outside on cables. The problem I have is that he wishes to make a feature of these cables looking to have them 8-10mm thick connected to D-rings top and bottom. I can only find display systems with 1.5/3mm thick cables. As they are outside they will also need to be stainless steel.
    Would anyone know a supplier that can help me out?

    Thanks

    Rachel

    Just a thought, but what about using 10mm threaded bar. All sorts of fixings available and a ‘similar’ look to steel cables. Obviously depends on the effect you are trying to achieve.

    I’d go with Simons option.

    You really want a heavy duty stainless steel type effort- standard rod or cable displays will last about 5 minutes outside- they will be decorating the local chav homestead just as you drive off round the corner.

    Some chunky braided cable onto some D links would be better- long screws and bolts.
