What Is Guy Strand and Why It Matters

Guy strand, sometimes called guy wire, is a high-tensile steel cable used to stabilize and support tall or freestanding structures. It functions by counterbalancing tension forces, ensuring that poles, towers, antennas, masts, or even tents remain upright and structurally sound.

Typically made from galvanized steel and constructed in a 1x7 or 1x19 strand configuration, guy strand is valued for its durability, corrosion resistance, and minimal stretch. It is a trusted component in industries where failure is not an option.

Types and Configurations We Offer

Wire Rope Industries Atlantic supplies a wide range of guy strand options to meet your project’s structural and environmental demands.

1x7 Guy Strand

Standard construction consisting of 7 wires (1 central wire with 6 outer wires). Ideal for medium-duty tensioning where flexibility and strength are both required.

1x19 Guy Strand

Tighter, more rigid strand structure with 19 wires—offers higher strength and reduced stretch. Perfect for static applications like communication towers and high-tension support.

Galvanized Guy Strand

All guy strand options are hot-dip galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance. Suitable for long-term outdoor use in harsh climates.

EHS (Extra High Strength) Guy Strand

Manufactured from high-tensile wire for applications requiring greater load-bearing capacity and minimal elongation.

Custom Cut Lengths & Pre-Formed Ends

Available in cut-to-length orders and custom-prepared ends for faster installation and integration into your existing tensioning system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between 1x7 and 1x19 guy strand?

1x7 guy strand is more flexible and used in applications requiring slight movement or wrap-around. 1x19 is stiffer and better for high-tension applications with minimal movement.

How is guy strand different from regular wire rope?

Guy strand is typically not used for lifting. It’s designed for tensioning and structural support, with less flexibility and more rigidity than standard wire rope.

Can guy strand be cut to custom lengths?

Yes. We offer cut-to-length guy strand to match your specific project needs, with options for pre-formed or treated ends.

Does galvanized guy strand rust?

While galvanized guy strand is highly corrosion-resistant, over time and in extreme conditions, surface wear may occur. However, it significantly outperforms untreated wire.

Do you offer hardware for guy strand installation?

Yes. We supply turnbuckles, dead-end grips, anchors, thimbles, and other tensioning hardware to complete your system.
