The gondola is attached to the burner by steel cords that pass underneath the wicker basket; these cables are joined to the burner by carabiners that can hold several kilograms, fuel cylinders are firmly tied to the basket by straps that pass by a series of openings in the basket. The same carabiners that joined the basket to the burner are used to join the envelope. These carabiners are specially made for aeronautic use thus they are required to have a superior resistance.
