concerted effort to defeat squirrels scoffing bird feed..

strung a 2mm diameter wire rope between two trees from which to
suspend assorted feeders etc...

However said rope is not level so anything hung on it will slide so I
need some way to anchor the feeders, preferably by creating "stops"
past which they can't slide??

I'm sure I've seen some kind of small "C" section clamps that I could
just slip sideways onto the wire rope and secure by tightening a small
bolt/grub screw - but I can't remember where I saw them or what the
rest of the world would use them for to start to look! -

Anyone know what I've seen? boats? wire track lighting?

Any other ideas?

Use a flat piece of metal or strong plastic etc, and slot it
alternately on 2 sides. Now the wire is put through the open slots
alternately so it zigzags, and no sliding occurs due to friction.

Not sure if you get the description, but its simple and works well.

I'm with you - like you slide when tensioning tent guy ropes - good
idea!

I'll give it a whirl next try

NB the wire grip things everyone is bleariliy pointing me to have
given up and the effin wire is down at the moment! :(
