I am also a big fan of springs...

I have a 130 foot window line fed dipole, one end on an evergreen tree 
and the other end on a maple tree. Each end is connected to a "screen 
door" spring, about 3/4 inch in diameter and a foot long. I sprayed each 
spring with Rustoleum (R) paint.

I installed this antenna in 1994 (!) and it has been up ever since, with 
no problems (Knock on wood). I live in southeast Michigan and we get 
more than our share of snow, wind, ice storms, etc.
