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.

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

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.

I used screws and adhesive.The tape didn't work well for cormorants and gulls.I bought bird spikes and they work great.

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.

We used it to cover our chicken coop. We built a frame out of strong wire and tie-wrapped it to the wire.

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.

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

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.

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'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!

Just start in an inconspicuous place. Down low.? Make it wrap around diagonally. Keep it about a little over an inch apart. Make full circle. Tie it off back at your start. Don't pull too hard on string wrap. It breaks easy.

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.

Run cable ties through the weave at the back toward the base. Not around the legs. Doesn't work well around the legs.

When you cut the cord, seal it with heat. If you are wanting to create a loop without using a huge knot, you have two options. One... Using a heavy NYLON threaded needle, simply push the needle/thread back and forth through the two pieces of cord until sufficiently secure, then do a nice aesthetic wrap to cover the loose end of the loop. or two... make your loop, stretch it as tight as possible and tightly wrap a stiff wire around both pieces of cord ( for an example of this, see how they secure the ends of bungee straps with the hook ends used for securing cargo). Hope this helps!

I forgot up mention that we also bought a clamp to hook the end of the chain that was around the limb to another link in the chain to secure the chain around the limb. Forgot the exact name of this type of clamp but again make sure it fits through the links on the chain.

Use a Half Hitch Knot & then using a Heat Shrink Product, Wrap the left over Tail end of the Bungy cord back to the main Line. Scott
