I don't think so.
We used tie wraps for years on commercial systems and never
had trouble.
What is the mode of failure? Are the wraps breaking, getting brittle,
or what?
I'd like to know, because I'm using ty-wraps on my 318 foot tower
and plan on using more in a few weeks. Changing them is a real
bear.
Do you think it is because of the sharp bend at the legs?
