Yes, friction, heat, UV rays all could have played their part...


My poly greenhouse looks like a rectangular tent. There is a center metal pole that supports the "roof's" peak, supports the poly that is stretched taut against it, holds the whole thing up. I snugged the to-be-tied string between the poly and the pole ...

... which, now that I have factored heat, sunlight/UV rays into the equation, seems like a really, really dumb idea. Next year I will tie the string to some type of metal/wire loop fashioned/adapted/purchased that I can attach to the center pole.
