How to Choose a Fix-Tie Hook
Hello everyone, I'm Marco from Fenceshop, and today we will talk about fix-tie hooks. These hooks are essential for securing various types of fabric, such as shading cloths, mulch fabrics, and anti-hail nets. There are many models available in the market, but we at Fenceshop have selected some of the most suitable for the fence sector.
What Fix-Tie Hooks are Used For
Fix-tie hooks are usually made of plastic and are positioned around the perimeter of the fabric to create a sturdy fixing point. This anchoring point is much stronger than a simple tie, allowing you to effectively stretch the fabric. They are useful both residentially and for hobbyists, anywhere there is a need to stretch a fabric.
Types of Fix-Tie Hooks
Today we will examine three types of fix-tie hooks:
How to Secure the Hooks
To secure the hooks, it is important to use sharp points that easily penetrate the fabric. Once the hook is positioned, pliers can be used to close it. Some hooks can be retrieved by inserting a screwdriver and leveraging, but they are generally not intended to be reused frequently.
Once the hook is secured, a tension wire of about 3 millimeters can be passed through the universal loop, or a carabiner can be used to tie the fabric to a structure.
Usage Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Some frequent questions concern the durability of the hooks and their resistance to weather conditions. We at Fenceshop use high-quality hooks, but it is true that the weakest point is where the hook bends. However, once secured, even if it breaks, the hook continues to perform its function.
Another tip is to avoid hooks with tips that are too thick, which cannot easily pierce the fabrics. Make sure the tips are sharp to facilitate the fixing.
Conclusion
Fix-tie hooks are inexpensive but fundamental for creating sturdy fixing points for various types of fabrics. They can be used in multiple situations, such as bordering a greenhouse nylon or creating a sliding curtain. We hope these tips have been helpful to you.
