Snap Clamp 1/2 Inch X 4 Inches Wide For 1/2 PVC Pipe White 10 per Bag

I spent around $60 in miscellaneous other items to solve my PVC green/shadehouse problem, none of which helped much. In fact, those other items only made the construction more sloppy. Still trying to improve my structure, I searched for more solutions on Amazon. Lo and behold, this showed up as a "customers also viewed..." In three other purchases, these clamps were never suggested. I obviously didn't know they existed until it was too late. Money was spent and lost. (I can't return any of the items because they now have wear.)Over all, the quality is good for what it does and the price is pretty cheap. I know other reviews say that they break easily or are too tight. They are pretty snug and although they don't come off too easily, it's not that difficult either. I haven't had one break on me yet (knock on wood) and I even had a triple layer of netting between the clamp and the PVC pipe. It was a tight fit but it didn't break. I was able to remove them, as well. I've clamped and removed them at least three times and none have snapped yet.While I can't say anything about other customer experiences, my own is positive. I think they are strong enough and they are perfectly functional. Price is good, too. I only regret that I didn't see these sooner.I haven't used them long enough to see how they perform after months of being sun-beaten, so I will update this review after they've been put through the rigors.

I used them on my 1/2 PVC cage and they fit on snug with felt covering and 6mil plastic cover. They do pop off if try to clamp on 2 layers of 6mil with the felt haha

I built a quad-pod, (tripod with 4 legs), out of 3/4 inch EMT pipe to keep a leaf net elevated over my pond and used these snap clamps to secure the netting to the EMT pipes. These clamps worked perfectly! The netting was kept nice and tight throughout the winter. These clamps even withstood 20+ inches of snow cover that stuck around for just over two months (see last photo for proof of snow depth).I just took down the quad-pod and leaf netting since winter is finally over. I am happy to report I do not see any signs of wear on these snap clamps. They appear to be in perfect condition, ready for use next fall.

My raised garden boxes are 4' across. For winter protection I have driven a 1" diameter bit of pipe into the soil and loop a 10' - 1/2" pipe from side to side. Over that I, personally, use clear plastic sheeting. Frost cloth works well. The clips fasten the covering to the 1/2" pipe as needed.The clips come in two flavors - tight and extra tight. Get the tight ones. The extra tight are very hard to get off without a tool (small screw driver?) to pry them off. If you are using them for holding something of a more permanent nature, like perhaps a covering for a green house, the extra tight would be fine since you never plan to pull them off.

These hold plastic firmly to 1/2" pvc. They are fairly easy to put in place (it does take some strength...easier if you start at one end and work your way to the other end), and a little difficult to take off (the reverse of the previous procedure), but that means they stay in place like they should, even in fairly high winds.

Easy to use for my barriers I made to keep critters out of my asparagus bed

I purchased a 10 pack of these clamps, for 1/2" PVC, for a project I was building and when I tried to use these clamps, they were so loose that a 15 MPH wind blew them off of my project. If one wants to use these clamps when covering, trying to apply 6MM plastic sheeting, each one needs to be squeezed in a vice and a hot gun used to make them tight enough to snap firmly onto the 1/2' PVC tubing/pipe. These clamps would fit a 5/8" pipe much better, if such pipe existed.

0very tight going on and darn near impossible to remove (not a complaint). Made a custom greenhouse and these made much easier to attach the cover to the PVC. Have to install these with care as they are very tight and can tear the cover while pushing these on. I put a strip of duct tape on the cover before installing these, that prevented the tearing. Work great.
