Zip-lock Ties

Our strong black nylon and stainless steel zip ties (locking ties) come in 8 and 14-inch lengths. All have a breaking strength of 100 pounds or more and all are black. In most cases the 8-inchers are all you need, though the 14-inchers are a bit easier to apply.

The stainless steel zip ties are best for attaching the fencing to metal posts and will last the life of the fence. Plan on using about 1 tie per foot of  post. Do not use them to attach the fencing to lines, wires, or other fencing, because they will not close completely.

Instead, use our nylon zip ties (or hog-ring staples) for these latter jobs, applying about 1 tie or staple per linear foot. The versatile and inexpensive nylon ties do all these jobs (including attaching the fencing to metal posts) but only last 5-6 years, and so will eventually need to be replaced.
