Securing wiring in an unconventional situation

Framing out my pole barn.

2x4s basically to hold sheeting and insulation. Left me with about a 2" gap between the studs and my foam board insulation which is installed against the tin.

Lots of spots where plastic staples used to secure wires aren't easy to use.

Can I use zip ties. Used like you were doing plug wires. So there will be separation between wires. Then use staples where I can?

Pic is a good idea of how it's all run. All loose now so I can change it around if needed

The hole in the 6x6 is low to avoid the overabundance of nails using to attach the girts

Just staple it the best you can.

I would have been very tempted to put holes in the 2x4's to match your posts but not sure if you have plans for the wall cavity space?

My lazy won out really. I actually talked to an electrician about it. He said staple where you can and make them as neat as possible, if you need zip ties to make it neater then do so.

Just doing insulation in the wall cavity and that's one reason I want them neat. Easier to insulate around them properly
