I have more concern about the zip ties. It will be interesting to see how long they last. I am also concerned that the zip ties will catch on robots.

Evidently there will be no pipe on the bottom of the vinyl strips so they should swing easier than the present configuration.

I think that the pipe at the bottom was a major reason why the original design failed. The pipe would hold the fabric taught... and more easily penetrable.
If the fabric could have moved easier... I think much of the damage would not have occurred although sharp objects would still grab the fabric.

We shall see.
