First of all the cheap tie wraps some of you guys are getting must be from the big box store.
I have used tie wraps for years outside, many thousands of them.
They are used in cable trays in the petro-chemical industrty.
They are made by these people and they last for years. You get the good ones at an electrical supply house.

I always used the black ones.

Worth is correct, there are some made to be used in uv and they last for YEARS. We have used them for years on our cranberry bogs, but I do order them special for use outside. You can get black or white, if it matters. They are pretty cheap in bulk. If I remember right $19/thousand last time I bought them.
