Default HD Plastic Electric Tie-Wraps

Hi,

Bought a package of those electrical plastic tie-wraps at HD.
The kind they sell, mainly, for wrapping around a cable bundle to hold
them together.

But, they are useful for a zillion other purposes, too.

Tried to wrap them around a fence post to hold some reflective markers on.

They fractured immediately.

Guess the plastic they use can't take to cold.
But it should; only about 20 deg F out there, which really isn't all that
bad.

Anyone else ever experience this ?

Bob


I don't know about that problem, but if you are going to use them outside,
get the black ones that are rated to be UV resistant. The white ones will
not last very long in the sun.
They may be other colors than black that are UV resistant,but I don't know
right off hand.
