Monty Don was using a green "plastic" tensioner for wire support, dont want metal ultra strong , only for clematis  type climbers . Anyone know what they were , where stocked ?

    Some clematis are quite vigorous and get heavy so I would go for wire supports rather than string.   Good garden centres and DIY stores wil stock them, and the tensioners and the vine eyes and will know what you mean when you ask.
