How to tie polytuf tarps to patio post eyelets?

Hello

 

I bought these from Bunnings yesterday and much prefer these to the black mesh ones I used to have. I was advised to get this rope to attach to the eyelets at the top. This looks a bit unsightly though. Is there a better method of doing this? Thanks.clear tarp 2clear tarp 2clear tarp 1clear tarp 1

Hi @LorenClayton,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

I think some long zip ties like the Crescent 610 x 9mm Heavy Duty Cable Ties would look much better. They can be tightened around the beam, and then the tail can be snipped off so that no unsightly leftover bits are hanging in front of the tarp.

 

Let me know what you think.

Hello @LorenClayton,

 

Use curtain rods and S-hooks.
