If you are looking for adhesive fittings which take cable ties, look at
places like Screwfix.

I have fittings for fixing cable runs to outside walls where you peel a
covering strip off an adhesive pad, press it onto the wall, and you can
then tie your cable to it.

I have no idea if these would be sturdy enough to hold anything major,
though.


Thank you, David. I'll pass that on to my sister.


Be warned: you can stick things on as strongly as you like but, if
the surface is likely to come loose or the material is fragile,
all that it will do is to bring some of the fence off with it.
People with older houses know that well, because lime plaster is
very fragile, which is why it was mixed with animal hair for
situations where that mattered.

Any weathered wooden fence is likely to have both problems.
