@richlv This is for a community orchard where the tree cages come off once a year for maintenance.

If it was a fence or a permanent fixture, then staples would be cheaper, yes.

@smbsy why do I see this *after* going to B&Q?
Also, What's the English word for those?

@ehproque Oh no! It's a wingnut.

@josh0 @LibertyForward1 That's some fancy hardware

(In part because it means someone else does that "wander round the hardware shop wondering what I can repurpose" thing . Always nice to pass by a kindred spirit.)

@smbsy Must have been a mofo to tighten like that.
