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.

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

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 used zip ties and mounted it to a tree in my backyard. It really is awesome seeing them so up close.

Sounds to me like you need a chain long enough to reach the fence. Be sure to attach to a fence post and not the fence. I use chains and and attach a turnbuckle to tighten the shades. I just received my order of 4 square sail shades. I have a couple of guys coming in to dig the holes (with a rented auger) and I plan to set seven 4x6x16' posts in concrete. The other side will be attached to my house. This will cover my back deck which in 56' X 18'.

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.

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

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.

I used carabiners and bungee cords. I bought some camo bungee cords here on amazon. The bungees work out well because the give some flexibility in the wind. I started by planning out the connection at the house side, where I have 3 of them attached to a set of upright posts. At the end away from the house I was able to use posts attached to the fence, and spanned the gap with the bungees. But you have to plan it out or they won't hang right.

That small mesh should work well. As soon as canning season is over I am going to place the webbing in the overhead of my carport and sheds. By hanging it on strings I can keep the birds from building in the overhead.

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 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.

I'd say the best method is to do it front back at the point of weakness. Typically the fence fails at the point wind hits the fence line like a sail. The Simpson Strong Tie supports the fence by using the existing post still in the ground surrounded by concrete and then anchors the weakened or broken point to it. WARNING! Be prepared for some herculean pounding to get the metal between concrete and the wood post. The tolerances are so tight you might need to borrow Mjolnir from Thor!

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.

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.

Just place it. In the opening. There should be pieces of fabric that make up the ties. I'll ask my daughter how she does it.
