Thanks....didn't expect to be able to pick it up from the sheds...I
should have checked there first.

Hmmmn, I'm not so sure, I think lashing wire is special (well, different
anyway) in that you just loop it through a bracket, twist it back on (and
around) itself and it will hold. I'm not sure that either regular wire
rope or catenary wire will do the same self gripping job. I stand to be
corrected but TV tech groups might have that specialist knowledge,
uk.tech.digital-tv springs to mind but there may be a better choice.

That sounds very much like fencing (or 'baling') wi

If so, I saw the same in B&Q today.
