Title: cable ties (???)
Post by Outlaner1812 on Mar 16^th, 2017, 3:59pm

Hi. I sank two anchor points in my garden wall so that I could attach a plastic clothes line to each one from where the two clothes line were anchored.

At both garden wall anchor points I attached the clothes lines by means of a clamp. The clamp is in two parts; on the top part there are two holes. Each clothes line goes in through one hole, around a column between the holes and then out through the other hole. The bottom part is a plate which is then tightened by nuts on the two bolts until the clothes line is totally secure.

I need to replace them but I can't remember the blasted technical name for the clamps. They're needed because you can't tie a strong knot in plastic clothes lines. I've also seen them used on small diameter metal cables too.

Have I painted a picture so that one of you kind guys can tell me the name please?

Living in hope that you'll come good, as you always do!! [smiley=wave.gif]

If you search for "wire rope fixings" I think you will find what you need.
