yeah sometimes they break. when this happens i am gentle and slowly close them, i twist mine 2 times so i really stress it. i tried zip ties and they break down in the sun - they are good for a year don't use them unless you want to redo it every year. try using a synthetic cord. i've used venetian blind cord on my trellis, use something that is not cotton. tie the ends of the cage. if synthetic cord is used it should last a long time.

He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
