Really annoying problem!

[D Skelton]

I installed this SWA a while back and ever since I have been back on a monthly basis to keep replacing the cable ties as they seem to snap all the time. What's going wrong with my install???? Maybe the wind is getting to it????

if i said that was a crap job, would you take offence (a fence). (obviously this is not your job).

cant you keep a bag of steel ones in the van for next time??

You installed it on the incorrect type of fence for cable ties obviously :rolleyes2:

Ha yeah fair enuff!

quite obvious. the plasticiser in the fence coating leaches into the pvc cable tie and causes degradation.

if they were spaced further apart, there'd be less to replace.
