Gaffa Tape, a wonderfull webbed tape used by bands etc to keep heavy cables from moving about. see link

Gaffer tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tape the wire all along it and then put some cross strips for extra strength.

Make sure there are no protruding sticky ends as your Chams feet may get stuck to it, not to mention crickets or locusts.

If you are in UK B & Q may have it, but any decent musicians shop should have it

You can get high temp aluminium duct tape, a search through heating/ventilation system suppliers should find it, also try places like Screwfix.
