Bungees

In reply to G6MZX:

Hi Mike Have you thought of trying ratchet straps .Wilkinsons have
some small ones with blue nylon straps .I have had some for years and
still has good as new .73 Geoff .

Hi Geoff,

They would probably do the job just fine, however, bungees are so quick and simple to use.

Karabina bungees are also great to use as shock absorbers when working with a kite antenna.

Many thanks for taking the time to call in on Saturday…

If you have access to Costco, they have in their motoring section an interesting alternate design of bungee - it works like one of the styles of cable tie that can be found, except that it is a couple of inches wide and made of synthetic rubber.

If I could have found a picture I would have posted a link. The nearest I can do is that they work a bit like the “belt ties” at Essentra Components | Leading manufacturer & supplier of essential parts | Essentra Components UK

using the hooks.
