EARLE W. TALLEY Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 caniac, the cables are attched to 15" rebar stakes with turnbuckles at the bottom and to a 1/2" alum. plate drilled for the "s" hooks that is bolted to a floor flange. I will try to post some pictures.Earle Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennislgray Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Thanks Earle! What was the spacing for zip-tying the light strings to the cables? Did you have to use a zip tie each time a string crossed a cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EARLE W. TALLEY Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 The lights were ziptied where I thought it was needed, but I did tie them on support cables #1, #5, #9, #13 just to make sure they stayed in place.Earle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
