Anyone used stainless steel zip ties?

I found them at our local ACE but it looks like a bunch of places have them. I just tried one and it worked great.

This is the brand I got, but I've seen them on different websites, Lowes, Habor Freight etc. We got 6" ones

What are you using them for?

We're making a run using canopy framing and conduit ( like market traders use ) and were using hose clamps to fix the wire to the frame. They were expensive ($1 ea) and a pain to use. These SS zip ties are much easier and more elegant.

Pics Please?

My run is t-posts, conduit and welded wire...I just used lengths of wire twisted around to attach wire to conduit.

Thank you for posting and giving me a heads up. First I have heard about them.

the "ugly" side where the end is curled up. You could clip it but I like having no sharp end for someone's head to find.

The "neat" side, you can see the connectors on the top

How often do you think these need to be placed?

Cool!
Not sure how close..... every 6" or so?
Is that 1/2" hardware cloth?
