My husband rents out campers for a living

My husband has about 15 different campers that he rents out to people.

This is what he does for a living, and he’s really good at it.

He has become a basic know it all when it comes to fixing campers and keeping them in good working condition. He usually has two or three campers going out of trips or coming back in from trips every single day. Whenever they come back in, he has to clean them and get all of the repairs done on them before they have to go out again on their next scheduled trip. He really likes doing this job, and I’m glad that he enjoys it. One of the things that he uses a lot of that you would never really think about him using are these little wire fastener things called double loop wire ties. Whenever he first bought 2000 of these little things, I never thought that he would use them all up in a million years. I asked him why in the world he got so many of them, but he told me that 2000 was the smallest quantity that he could purchase from the website. When he got 2000 of them shipped to him, I thought that they would be showing up around the house for the next twenty years. However, my husband uses the double loop wire ties for everything on these campers. He uses them to hold down tarps, to fix the awnings, and to hold materials in place both inside and underneath the campers. He goes through bags and bags of them.

We use so many 16 gauge double loop rebar ties on the job site

My crew uses so many 16 gauge double loop rebar ties out on our job sites that we have to order them by the thousands.

It’s one of those building materials that we never want to run out of because everyone uses them. Of course, we use them for tying rebar when we are doing concrete work, but we have also found that this same size and type of double loop rebar ties are really great for when we are working on scaffolding, too. Between the concrete jobs and all of the work that we have to do on scaffolding, we end up using thousands upon thousands of 16 gauge double loop rebar ties every time that we do a job. Last year when we worked on a huge apartment complex, I bet that we went through at least ten thousand double loop rebar ties and that’s no joke. The guys on the job site use these things for literally everything. One guy told me that he actually swiped some off of the last job site because he wanted to take them home to tie up the tomatoes in his garden. Another guy that I know uses them in his garage to attach loose wires and car parts under the hoods of various cars that he works on. Yet another one told me that he took some to tie up the lanterns at his camp site around his picnic table by his camper. I guess the possibilities are endless, but now I know why we have to keep ordering more of them!

Double loop wire ties can be used for lots of stuff

Plastic coated double loop wire ties are made from a really versatile material and they can be used for lots of different jobs.

You can use plastic coated double loop wire ties for just about anything, from tying rebar to tying up fence posts to tying shopping bags at the grocery store.

The company that we order our plastic coated double loop wire ties from is super accommodating. They have many different lengths and materials available, and most of them are certified domestic double loop wire ties. That’s really important to some companies who have government contracts the way that we do. We have a lot of construction projects going on right now and luckily for us, the plastic coated double loop wire ties that we order from this company are manufactured right here in the same state where we are located. They told us recently that if we ever have a job that requires a length or material that they don’t show as available on their website, then we should just contact them and request it. They are very helpful and accommodating of special requests like that. If they can do what we want with their existing materials and machinery, then they are happy to do special jobs for us. I love the fact that we have a good working relationship and I look forward to working with these guys in the future, too. I know that if I need a certain length for the double loop wire ties that we use so many of, they will try to do it for me. It’s nice to have someone on your side when you are in this type of business.

As an ironworker, I have to tie a lot of rebar

However, all of them are certified domestic and they are all American made wire ties

When you are an ironworker like I am, your whole life at work is about tying rebar. Well, that, and joking around with your co-workers. That’s what I do all day. I work on construction sites and I have a crew who works with me. Most of the time, it is a really great job and I actually enjoy it. It’s nice to work hard on something and then see it get completed. I could never do a job like working at the post office because the work never ends. But when you are tying rebar, you know that eventually, the foundation of the building is going to get laid and the building is going to go up. Seeing that finished product is very rewarding and I never get tired of it. Anyway, as an ironworker, I use thousands and thousands of American made double loop wire ties in my job. We tend to use 16 gauge double loop rebar ties most of the time, but it really depends on the job that we are doing. Sometimes we use 14 gauge double loop rebar ties, and once in a while we use 18 gauge double loop rebar ties. However, all of them are certified domestic and they are all American made wire ties. Whenever I started working as an ironworker many years ago, I never thought that I would be using so many double loop rebar wire ties! I’ve probably used well over a million of them in my 15 year career as an ironworker. I’ve certainly tied more rebar than I ever thought I would.
