For a home made close coupled dipole I used clear plexiglass sheet, 
about 1/4" thick. I laid strips about 1" wide and long enough to overlap 
the elements then drilled holes to take a UV resistant cable tie. So far 
so good and keeps everything nicely in place. I don't think the 
plexiglass will last forever but my Lightning bolt quad used plexiglass 
for the loop joints on the reflector element and they were quite happy 
for best part of 20 years in a high UV environment.
