A fastener or bracket to attach cattle panel to door frame

[cowchipss]

Any good ideas for a bracket or fastener that I can buy at Home Depot, Lowes, or a hardware store to attach this part of a cattle panel to the door frame of my new, up and coming (and FIRST EVER) hoop coop?

Here is some hardware my friend found for me..... I could order these but I wanted to finish my coop this weekend and don't want to wait on the shipping. Thanks!

Sorry. The link is not working.

Would your typical wood staples work? They are quite inexpensive and easy to find.

Or a type of "U" clamp?

Thanks trailrider330! I was excited to see I had a reply. I have fencing staples similar to the picture you posted... I was hoping to screw something in so I don't have to hammer on my door frame.... I like the clamp but I just haven't found any that are small enough.

Here are the pictures from the website since it sounds like it's not working.

Also, since this is a project I'm working on by myself, I was thinking screwing brackets on would allow me to square things up and screw in place. I'm still a new craftswoman so holding the cattle panel in place, placing a fencing nail, and hammering it in will require..... some sweat, no tears, and hopefully no blood. ;}

If I don't come up with anything else before Friday, I'll be swinging away with the fencing nails.

Those are nice! Your local home improvement store(s) doesn't carry anything like that?

What about conduit clamps. They come in several sizes and run about $1 a piece. You would just have to add screws.

One other option might be to use screws and fender washers.

You would just have to place them so the fence can not move from side to side or up and down.

I found the conduit clamps at Menards. Please tell me you have one near you!?!?

Or Lowes and Home Depot have these little clamps in a 1/2"size, but those still might be too big for your needs.

Okay. Last post. I am in the process of designing my new coop so figuring out all the things available out there to use on the coop is rather interesting to me.

I found these at Ace Hardware. They are called plastic cable clamps. They come as small as 1/4" diameter and are $2.49 for 18 of them.

Home Depot's version of cable clamps:

Lowe's also carries something similar that they also call cable clamps. Here are there's:

Just not sure plastic clamps would hold up the best (especially if you have any weather extremes).

You can simply take some steel hanger strapping like this...

Cut and form your own brackets...

These screws work well, as they have a big head aka built in washer... Make sure you get he 'sharp point' version not the self drillers...
