Abstract
A system can tension a cable that is to be strung through a plurality of columns. The tensioning system is disposed at the last column and includes a spacing device and a barrel with a tapered cavity. A number of tapered elements are slidably mounted in the barrel's cavity and will encompass the cable and favor unidirectional movement of the cable. The barrel and the tapered elements have opposite openings that allow the cable to emerge from opposite ends thereof. With the barrel at the outward side of the last one of the plurality of columns, the cable is pulled through the tapered elements, away from the plurality of columns. Next, at a side opposite the outward side of the last column, the cable is grasped and pulled away from the barrel to seat the tapered elements. Working again on the outward side, the barrel is then moved away from the last column. The spacing device is applied at the barrel to set the spacing between the barrel and the last column.
