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.

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

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 used plastic zip ties. You can thread the ties through the webbing and around the base structure. It cost me $3 to connect 5 separate pieces and I just cut them apart to store them in the winter.

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.

For small to medium trees, I'd use Zip ties around the tree. Be sure to get black UV rated ones as they won't become brittle in the sunlight. For a larger tree; secure a wire loop around the tree, held at the height you want with a few eye bolts. Then zip tie the net to the wire. I also used bailing wire as supports to keep the net from sagging and blowing around.

There is a split in the Crittercord that runs the total length of it. After installing I found that wrapping a piece of tape or something similar around each end helps keep the ends of the Crittercord around the wire. Personally, I actually used a small automotive screw clamp like those that would be used on a fuel line. My dogs kept pulling the tape off. I've had good luck with the Crittercord. I have thirteen Bichon Frise's in the house and not one of them has touched the cords since its installation.

Ross garden netting like the 16440 3' by 50' will work well. Use twist ties to attach.

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.

I just emailed the company about shortening the length and was told that I can tie a knot at the ends. Each knot will shorten it by a foot and it will not damage the hammock.

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.

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 purchased a large size screen material and sewed a continuous loop on all four sides. I slipped a continuous 2" PVC pipe in the top and bottom loop only. the sides were just in case and they also help prevent a tear. The top is supported by hooks and the bottom is hung by gravity only and seems to keep out wrinkles. the continuous pipe also helps reduce it from blowing in the wind. hope this is helpful.

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

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 run a zig zag pattern to each end and have them strapped on each side...you can use Velcro straps too....
