I saw a shed before christmas and it had gale breaker on the sides but rather than running the full length of the shed and having the ratchets at one end, each individual bay had it's own piece of gale breaker and tightened on each individual bay. Also on the ones running the full length seem to have a strap sown into them but these ones had none.
The ends of the galebreaker was tucked into a U shaped piece of aluminium along with the ends of the ratchet strap and then the U shape was squeezed closed clamping the galebreaker and allowing it to be pulled tight.
I got a couple of samples of this sent to me today https://galebreakeragri.uk/product-details/farmflex and it's a lot heavier and better quality than anything I saw before. They sell the roll in whatever length you want so I was thinking of making my own and using threaded bar to tighten it instead of ratchets.
Has anyone any ideas what I could use on the ends of the mesh in place of the aluminium to clamp it and tighten it.
One idea I have is to wrap it around a piece of flat iron and then bolt/clamp the flat iron to a piece of angle iron and put the threaded bar through the other face on the angle iron to tighten it.
