Yup...wire. Cut yourself 5"-8" lengths of 14ga house wire (or 12ga if that is
what you have). Use them in place of wire ties. They twist on pretty easy and
last 'forever'. Put the twist on the inside of the tower and bend it up
against the leg. That way it won't snag anything during your climbs. This has
been mentioned before on TT and works great!
