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.

We just used an inexpensive polyester rope to tie them about 6 feet from each other so we wouldn't get separated from each other going down-river. The white rope looping the tube is very durable, but we threaded the poly rope through the part that holds the white rope.

I used 2-1/2" galvanized steel pipes with SS eyebolts for one side and attached to an upper story deck post on the other. Hand pulled the tie ropes. Instead of the ropes that came with the shade, we used longer nylon ropes, so it's easier to tie.

Paracord for sure. Met someone once with an eyepatch; he forgot that hooks adorn the ends of those stretchy rubber tie-downs, and there's no better way to make an accidental slingshot guaranteed to aim for your face when they break or even slip. Climbing ropes also work fine, if looped through every grommet eyehole in the front end of the tarp. For luck, all of them around the perimeter next. Then, a bed-sized X of rope over the tarped 'n tied load, and you're done. Won't fly off and blind tailgaters, who will doubtless sue you for THEIR stupidity and call it YOUR negligence.

put a piece of pvc in the ground with 5 gallon bucket on top then attach things you don't want to get wet up in side bucket you can drill a hole in the upper part of pvc to tie things to

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.

Sorry for the delay... I purchased the Rain Bird Faucet Connection Kit, and for the end of hose, I used the Rain Bird 1/2" End Closure.

I used bamboo posts ten feet apart that have survived into their second year with no issues. Tying white flags at waist height will look like a deer fleeing so that helps repel them and you will avoid any bucks getting tangled up with their antlers. The deer will hit anything they can by us but this kept them completely out of our garden. It is fairly rigid and will not really sag if your posts don't bend. I did line the bottom foot with chicken wire as groundhogs and rabbits will bite through.

i just used some utility/bread ties like this...Buffalo Tools TT100 100' Twist Tie with Cutterand also an old mini blinds hook I found lying around. You can use a "hook latch" also. They sell them in here or at any hardware store. They're very cheap. Something similar to this...Stanley Hardware S750-490 SAFETY GATE HOOK & EYE 2" - ZINC PLATED CD/3just remove the small eyelet screw and loop the bread tie through the hook latch and secure it to the other side of the feeder cover over the lid. I posted some pics of how I did it. On the cheap, you could also just use a heavy duty "paper clip" for the hook part. Super simple and cheap. Someone in here also mentioned removing the "chain" part of the feeder and using it to secure the lid...also with a type of "hook latch". i just used some utility/bread ties like this...Buffalo Tools TT100 100' Twist Tie with Cutterand also an old mini blinds hook I found lying around.

We used a wire coat hanger. There is a loop on the end of the birdfeeder to hook onto. I think perky pet makes a scroll that you can use as well. It probably looks alot better hanging from the scroll.

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.

Just a thought - I have pieces from other systems attached (I don't know if they are crittertrail) with decorative "duck tape". I just fold over a corner so it's easy to take off to clean.

None specifically for a security chain... But there are places route a sercurity chain... I would recommend a coated chain/cable

I'm in a rescue group and we got some "bird cage covers" -- they are washable cotton type with "ties" and you can put them around the cat condos. They come in different sizes so you may ck that out.

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.

I used chain link fence top rail pipe, it comes in 10 foot sections and slips together. Dril and bolt sections together and gable or chimney mount to house. If you go high use guy wires to stabilize.

I would recommend using bamboo reed fencing ( 4 layers ) they wont see or get to eachother ) I have it on my chainlink fence for privacy. backyard xcapes is the brand and home depot has 4 rolls of it for $98 with free ship to home. 3 layers is 95% non see through, 4 layers is 100% non see through. I recommend 3 layer and then adding a 4th layer down the road ( about 9 mo later when it turns grey from weather ) thompsons water seal didn't prevent that for me.
