I used the zip ties for a bit, and had a color code chart for our counts. The only issue we ran into with that method is that it got annoying to replace them on every retensioning. If we didn't remove the tie during reten, it would through the frame out of flat.

I am back to using solvent resistant labels on top of our mesh protectors, but those also have to be replaced periodically. Maybe I need to go back and look at that system. I suppose if the zip tie was a little loose it could be slipped down to the roller area during reten and it wouldn't be on the corner. But it still needs to be out of the way for the wrench.

On rollers, we typically use them on the lugs.



This gives us plenty of room to still get our standard adjustable wrenches on there and keeps us from having to remove them when we need to retension.

Wrench part on the short sides, both on the same side, doesn't get in the way of the wrenches and doesn't
stop you from keeping a frame flat.

Oh, and Mcmaster has the best selection in terms of colors. Use highly distinguishable colors
for close mesh counts.

Thank you for that! Duh, that is obvious. Will probably revert back to this because the labels we use are totally annoying.
