Hennessy question

I know this is a dumb question but here goes. So either The Hennessy ULBP didn't come with the side stretchy string 5 years ago or my father in law lost them over the last 5 years it's been in the attic. Either way where do I get a good replacement I found that regular static string just doesn't work as well. Is there something simple that can be bought locally to replace?:confused:

Any thin shock cord will work. If you have an old tent you can harvest the cord out of the poles. Or pick up a tent pole repair kit.

The local outdoor equipment store (camping,kayaking,biking,...) sells a small diameter shock cord by the foot. I had to replace those tie outs on my HH as well. If you have any similar stores near by I would check there.

How long are the stock ones usually?

I'm just guessing off the top of my head, but I'd say mine are about 4'. I can measure when I get home.

This reply is WAY late, but check out Just Jeff's page (tothewoods.net)on DIY tarp tensioners. Basically some cord tied with two clove hitches around a piece of sling shot material to absorb any play in the line. I think it would work well for you.
