For my RG-6 beverage I used a marline hitch spread out over a couple of feet and then taped it up after it was in tension.

I have a follow on question from my non-invasive tree attachment question.

I am running RG58 through a hedge with the intention of using it as a 2-way Beverage. I am scratching my head as to how to attach some poly rope close to the ends of the RG58 to enable it to be lightly tensioned.
I could use a fleeting cable grip if I could find one small enough.
If it was normal stranded wire I would just use duplex cable grips and an insulator, but as it is coax, I don't see that as an option.

All suggestions will be gratefully received.
