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 am using it to block view on a very sturdy chain link fence 6 feet tall. I installed heavy duty cable ties and pulled it tight. We have had wind no more than 15-20 mph and it blocks some but not all of the wind. It is a weave fabric and air can flow through.

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.

Well, that's quite a question. You could try looping one end around the trunk or a branch then latch that end to itself. That could make the tie out too short. I'd suggest you get some screw rings (kinda like heavy duty mug holders) from a hardware store and use those in the trees for adjustable tension.

I attached with wire, since I'm using it to protect a part from hot exhaust. A fancier way is to get metal zip-ties. I'm not sure if you have this yet, but it's basically like real thick foil with fluff in the middle with a hemmed edge. You can kind of mold it to a shape but it's not stiff enough to hold on to something with just doing that.

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 picked up a ratchet strap (the kind used to tie things down to a truck) to secure the tree to my door. The straps are cheap at any hardware store (~$2) and come in a couple different colors. It isn't the most beautiful solution, but it keeps the whole thing stable and doesn't damage the door. My cats love this thing.

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

On one of the top platforms there should be a loop of excess string. Just tie it on.

As others have said the fabric can be attached to either side of the fence. I installed my fabric on the inside in my back yard which is also the side that the chain-link itself is on so the fabric is snugged up to it for a neater appearance.

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.

I have had excellent results. It's more like hardware cloth than chicken wire (which is a good thing!) and is stapled very securely. If a raccoon is going to get into this, it's going to be from underneath. The coop end is heavy and pretty secure, but the fenced in area in the right of the pic can be lifted easily. I put cinder blocks all the way around it and have had no problems. I would buy this coop again. I hope this helps.

We just folded the bottom of the mesh and attached w. wire ties thru grommets. Neen up 4 days. Looks great ! You will notice it is not as right as it could be.

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

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

Run the straps through roof tarp and use (s) hooks to attach to frame. There are two holes at the end of each tube. Then tighten straps.

I call them zip ties/cable ties. Let the cable follow the arms back to the fixed pivot point so movement will not be restricted. leave a small loop/slack at the center pivot.
