Guy strand

Guy strand, also called extra high strength guy strand. It is twisted by several wires. It is available in different length and diameters, which can reinforce and add stability to overhead structures from signal towers to ship masts. Because guy strand is typically exposed to the corrosion things, it is zinc-coated to prevent from corrosion. What's more, the weight of guy strand is less than any of the other high-strength guying materials. So it is widely used in power line structures.
