Hello,

Other than nailing the walls in the roof with a nail and a plastic hoop to hold the coax. What would be another method of holding the coax against a wall for blowing winds? I thought about running the coax around the roof wall holding it with epoxy but I'm not sure if it would hold good.

When I have external antennas, I run my coaxes inside pvc pipe with a small hole drilled every 6 inches or so on the bottom for drainage. The pipe slopes downwards away from where it enters the building. I have a junction box about every 10ft to aid in pulling new cables thru. The pipe itself is Saddle clmaped to the wall etc.

Use the straps for holding conduit against a wall. Your local home improvement store will have them.
