The only difference is that I'm trying velcro tape. It's faster than using wire to hold the mast to a fence. But is it strong enough or will the pole keel over? Find out by watching. You might have to traipse around town to find velcro tape but it appears to be more readily available online. The tape used here was a 2m roll of 25mm wide costing $9.50.
