Point-to-point piers, also called stand-offs, anchor tensioned cable displays instead of a track. Choosing fixed vs articulated piers comes down to your mounting surfaces: flat and parallel favors Fixed Piers, angled or irregular calls for Articulated Piers. This guide covers the difference, mounting considerations for drywall versus rigid surfaces, and how to pick between the two.

Product details
Articulated Piers swivel 180 and rotate 360 degrees, which allows them to mount to walls, ceilings, floors and angled surfaces and are mostly used in pairs (two cables). These are only to be used with cables running in a vertical axis, never in a horizontal manner. Our Tension cable kit is created to hang panels, pictures, acrylic display pockets, and much more! It is the solution for secure and strong picture hanging.
The mounting hardware included in this assortment may be used to mount a pier base to brick, cement, plaster, ceramic surfaces or structural wood. To mount the piers to gypsum board (drywall) please also order our mounting-plate-articulated-piers, which include Wing Toggles.
NOTE:
It is the responsibility of the installer to select the proper mounting hardware for a particular installation.
Rated Strength: The weight capacity of an individual pier/steel cable may be as low as 5 lbs., (static load), depending on the mounting hardware and installation surface and technique. The Upper Pier and supplied cable are rated at 33 lbs.
