Tell Me All Your Hardware Cloth Secrets

[Ext 918]

I did the same as Omelette-in-progress, but I didn't use regular plastic zips, instead I used stainless-steel ones. I can at least be sure that the UV won't affect them. I did purchase an applicator tool (like this,) to tighten and clip the ends off, but it can be done with just pliers and a pair of snips of some sort. The tool was just faster and more convenient.

I purchased the metal ties and tool. I hated it, as they didn't want to tighten as much as I wanted. Perhaps I'll try a different brand.

There's a bit of a trick to it, although I can't really explain the technique beyond the tool needs to be positioned a certain way, and my ties are tight. I'd like to put a few more on, if I remember I'll make a video.
