Begin by measuring the desired length of the wire rope and marking the spacing on your wooden posts. The video shows marking on a single post, but this process would be repeated for all posts that will support the wire rope.

Finally, screw in the M5 wire eye straps into these pilot holes until they are securely fastened.
