A heavy logchain. Somebody always gotta be different.Just kiddin. I would think whatever a man had without havin to buy would be good, however I would use just the slick wire, like elect fence wire personally.

Wire if I have it...rope if I dont.

I would not be telling people about using copper wire, someone may follow you and pull up your structure to steal the copper from it, getting bad these days ya know lol

duct tape

superglue...lol

Mississippi will only allow us to sink condos with cotton cord or rope.
No plastic or wire.

That copper wire your using isn't good for fish.
Cut a 1" piece and put in an aqurium (sp). See how long the fish live.
Working at a seafood resturant in the past. People would place coins in the aqurium (sp) and lobster tank. Dead creators in the morning, everytime.

Zinc coated wire isn't much better.
If I were to use wire, it would be alum. or stainless.

I had always just used nylon trotline twine. It's plenty strong enough to hold a cinder block and will last longer than the trees. But, now I do it the lazy way like one of the previous posters. I order 36" zip ties online and use those. That also allows me to use just about anything to weigh the tree down. I use oblong shaped rocks that I find on the bank a lot of times. Clamp them tight to the tree trunk with those big zip ties and they will stay.
