I thought PVC was not good for your plastic so why PVC wiggle wire?
The main reason to avoid PVC contact with the greenhouse plastic is the off-gassing and exposure on PVC hoops.
The PVC coating on the wire doesn't have any off gassing. Primarily because it's a very thin coat on the wire and by the time we have it ready for sale any off gassing would have already happened.
The PVC pipe is also problematic because of the rubbing on the pipe. The plastic will have some movement and be rubbing back and forth on the pvc pipe whereas on the spring wire is very static.
The spring wire is also applied to the top of the plastic. So in that area the plastic has no exposure to the sun hence no UV damage. However where the PVC tubing is on the plastic is fully exposed to the UV exposure since the plastic sits on the outside of the PVC tubing.
How much comes in a pack? Does a 4 pack mean 4 individual pieces of wire?
Yes a 4 pack includes 4 pieces of wire.
Do you sell a clamp/hook that allows for installing anti billow rope?
No we do not sell those. The only clamp we have is for shade cloth (link below)

Do you install these on every pipe, meaning every 4' across the whole hoop house?
