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 secured via strong bike cable lock using one of the latch holes. I secured that to a tie down in the bed. Use pad lock to link cable to hole

I bought some sectional clamps, but I haven't installed them yet. I don't think cable ties would work well bc the legs are so short. I used rubber pads on the feet as a stopgap; they seem to eliminate some of the sliding around.

Thanks for your suggestion. That is a good idea. Do you think staples, or tape would work to secure the sides?

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

The tarp has a place about every foot on top and bottom of the tarp to zip tie or I used nylon rope and zip ties. Does your fence have spikes on top or anything to puncture the tarp? If not, you could over lap and tie the excess to the other side of the fence. They look great.

Sorry, there's a couple of conflicting answers here, how much gap is there between the bottom and the ground? I want to find a way to secure it to the ground so it doesn't walk off like my last one. I was thinking of getting one of those cork screw things they use for dog chain and attaching it with a chain. Not 100% foolproof but hopefully enough of a deterrent. Just need to know if there's enough room under this to do that.

I use it to cover the top of my walkout dog run. I pull it tight and stake it. there is a little sag but not that much. I think it might also depend upon how large your pond is. I have tried lighter netting and found it did not stake as well. the lighter netting kept tearing where it was staked.

OMG..!! really !!!! I no have problems with my chains and now I don't have to see this red part and gave one idea ... but maybe you can use something metalic or you can use the long tail in plastic to tide any cable too look more nice you know ? what I am talking about ? well if yes used the more strong .... good luck

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.

I used a length of chain around the tree limb that I closed with a quick link, and then I also used a heavy duty climbing rotor and 2 carabiners to complete my installation. The first carabiner attaches to the top of the swing and joins the ropes coming up from the swing itself to the bottom of the rotor. The other carabiner attaches to the top of the rotor and then to the bottom of the chain hanging down from the tree limb. I also used a piece of heavy duty black rubber tubing between the tree limb and the chain in order to protect the branch.

The only thing I can think of is to rub some jewelry/sewing wax over it. It comes in a yellow bar and can be found in sewing supply stores - it's generally used to keep keep stiffer threads from unraveling or flopping around while you're working with them and it wouldn't hurt the cats if they ate it. Otherwise, what I did was buy the Da Bird Cat Catcher with the silver cord and it never, ever winds or twists. It's so much better I quit using the black cord altogether.

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.

I attached mine to a pole using wire ties. If I were you I would attach it to a fence post. I am using mine to keep birds off my sailboat, not sure how well it work, but I think it has some affect on keeping birds away.

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.

my first suggestion for you is to move immediately! As for this mesh it is tight like a screen. If anchored reasonably taught and embedded in the dirt consistently across the bottom, I se no reaso it wouldnt keep out snakes. I do not however know the strength or diameter of such reptiles as "babies" and I assume if they are persistent enough they might be able to nose though the fabric's weave. My suggestion is to double up the fabric, pull it taught and bury the bottom a few inches in the ground. Good luck.

I was looking for the same thing. Decided to use a tarp and bungee cords. Hope this helps
