It is possible very easy make struts for two wire line from old plastic bottles. Advantage of the struts is light weight, resistant to ultraviolet and of course almost no money (only time) to spent. You need thick plastic, at least 0.5- mm in thickness. If you have no such plastic bottle, just take a heat gun and shrink any plastic bottle that you have. At some experience you may got plastic with almost any thickness. Then you need remove plastic shell from suitable electrical (or old coaxial cable) cable. Then with help of a simple fixture you do the struts, insert into the struts wires, and close it with the plastic. The pictures show the process.
