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 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 tied knots, but a strap with hooks or something like that might be best. Especially if much more length is needed. Grandkids love it!

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.

Sorry for the delay... I purchased the Rain Bird Faucet Connection Kit, and for the end of hose, I used the Rain Bird 1/2" End Closure.

There are grommets on top, sides and bottom and all shhould be secured. 100 ties may be pushing it a bit; I'd get another 100 at Home Depot (about $7) if I were you.

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 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.

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

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.

Just a thought - I have pieces from other systems attached (I don't know if they are crittertrail) with decorative "duck tape". I just fold over a corner so it's easy to take off to clean.

I had a person do it for me.He used toggle bolts and synthetic rope.and secured it at the four corners from the house to the garage. He had to re tie it three times as it sagged alot in the rain and wind.

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

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 bought a pair of wide hammock tree straps with heavy duty velcro that fit through the loops and wrap around the tree. Really secure, doesn't harm the tree. Also easy to undo when we want to take it to the beach.

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

I have mine on a chain link fence and have tie wraps securing the top and bottom. It holds up to the wind fairly well.
