I never use wire ties. I buy 12 gauge solid core insulated wire and use it 
instead. UV never bothers the copper. - Mike

I used to use Home Depot black ties for temporary antennas but in the last
few years it appears that the quality has worsened. I have had many break
when pulling them tight by hand and I'm certainly no powerhouse.  Many that
did stay on were broken shortly later.

There are cable ties, then there are Panduit!  Nearly everything in Home
Despot
or Blowe's are crap and deteriorate in the sun, even the black ones.
Panduit
are great, as well as some other brands as discussed here in the past.  And
yes, they cost more.
