On the tie's topic, the dollar store probably sell a 5 meter length of velcro (hook and eye) aimed at plant support. You can also get a cable tie who's tooth has a little extension sticking out. Allowing you to lift it and use them again. I loath using one shot cable ties, when it's just as easy to make them reusable.
The rope is quite heat resistant. It's fine on top of a shade. I leave the unused length bundled but don't find it's in my way.
