Materials and tools:
10 5/16 x 5-inch closed eye bolts or closed-eye screws
30 meters of 1/8” coated steel cable
1 pencil
Instructions:
1. First of all, choose the spaces you wish to separate, as well as the length and height of the structure. In this case, the divider must reach from the ceiling to the floor.
2. With a measuring tape and pencil in hand, carefully measure and divide the spots where you will place the closed eye bolts into equal parts. You must do this both on the top surface and on the floor or bottom base.
3. With the help of pliers, place a closed eye bolt at each marked point, except for the first and last point on the floor. Make sure the bolts are firmly secured.
4. At the first mark on the bottom, place the beginning of the stainless steel cable and then install the first press or clamp designed for this type of wire rope.
5. Next, weave and tighten the cable, passing it through each eye bolt hole until you reach the end.
6. At the last mark on the bottom, place the end of the stainless steel cable and install another clamp to secure the structure.
It is that simple to create a very original room divider, which also creates a visual effect of continuity in your spaces.
