I want to cover part of the top and one side of my ducks chain link run. What is the best way to secure the cloth to chain link? Cable ties?

Cable ties work well, but this year we're trying little bungee loops and ball - as are standard equipment with some pop-up tent shade structures.

I have all 3 of mine - 2 small and 1 large - secured to my chain link fence for stability. We sunk the posts as suggested, and uses tan matching plastic tie-wraps to secure them to the fence cross post for climbing roses. Also, the large one is directly in the line of sight between my patio doors and the rear neighbor's patio doors, and adds quite a bit of privacy even during the winter.

We put a large eye ring in the bottom of the wood frame of our screen porch and then used a bungee cord that came with a tarp (it is a loop that has a ball on one end). Put the loop through the eye and the ball stops it from going all the way. Then we use small carabiners to attach the bungee to the tie down rings.

I had a person do it for me.He used toggle bolts and synthetic rope.and secured it at the four corners from the house to the garage. He had to re tie it three times as it sagged alot in the rain and wind.

Use Tie wraps, I used them on my wellcraft 238 hooked up to a 12 volt pump, also used another set on tent Canopy with tie wraps. Works great. Helps with keeping cool out of doors

There are 2 ties attached at the top of the jewelry roll. Once you roll or fold it, you use the attached ties to secure it.

I chain the rear end of my bike to the bike rack and put the cover over most of it. I tried it with the front end in the rack so that I could cover the rear fully, but the bike moves and leans too much when I secure it that way. I prefer securing the front of the bike, so I am thinking through how to keep the bike straight when securing the front. I may secure the front wheel to the frame with a solid piece so it doesn't pivot and lean. Other than that, the bike cover is the best one I've ever had - wind, pouring rain and heat have not impacted it to date. I hope that some of this helps. Perhaps others can provide insights on how best to secure the front of the bike to the rack so that it doesn't move/lean so that the rear can be fully protected by the bike cover. Thank you.

The tarp has grommets on the ends, so I suppose you could connect the tarps at the grommets (wire-ties, string) and make a longer tarp, might be difficult to hide your splice and make it look good. If there is a beam in the middle that your tarp stretches over (like in the picture on the amazon website) you could line up the grommets and put a single screw through both tarps and stretch it out from there.

If you are using the guards for rodent control, I would go get chicken wire to wrap loosely around the trunk. If sun, burlap wrap. For a tree that wide you would have to use to many and they would be tight and may pop off easily. Even the 3-4" trunks take quite a few of the guards.

There are grommets on top, sides and bottom and all shhould be secured. 100 ties may be pushing it a bit; I'd get another 100 at Home Depot (about $7) if I were you.

The four corners each have a roundish metal loop that is attached pretty securely to the material itself. It is on you to determine how you will attach it to posts or whatever you are attaching it to. I had a few different places where i needed to attach mine, so on one side i used a carabiner and clipped it to an eye screw in an existing patio cover. On the other side i simply used rope and tied it to a tree. I believe they make a screw product that lets you cinch it down tighter than i did. http://www.altiaproducts.com/EBayImages+Ads/Products/Sun%20Sails/SSL18TKS/SSL18TKSp4.jpg. I can tell you that unless you cinch it down super tight this thing will blow like crazy in the wind. Mine is only as tight as I could pull the rope and tie the knot, and it still blows around quite a bit. In one bad storm it even pulled a pretty thick eye screw out of the wood it was attached to. For the most part the thing works great and does just what you would expect.. provide a ton of shade at an extremely low cost.

Sorry just saw you're question. The little hooks need something to hook on to. We had a broken one and used a plastic zip tie, which might work for you. Ours has been up since fall and it's still shiny and in good shape. Very happy with it.

I usually tie a small neckerchief/scarf over one side of the handle, and drape the fabric across the spigot. Hasn't failed me yet!

I used wire ties to hang and double sided velcro and run a plastic coated cable woven through the top for extra support (I took from my dog run) hope this helps

If you are talking about the bottom free edge of the shade when fully unrolled, then you could use bungees to some weights ( I use some exercise kettle bells). Otherwise, masonry drill to set anchor eye loops to the ground for fastening.)

Good morning I would use either wire or heavy duty zip ties they are my best go to fix around my place.

I used zip ties. It's the only thing I could come up with that worked, not great, but better than not at all.
