I'm looking for a set of self-tensioning tarp lines. Sure, I know I can make some (I even have some of the stretchy tubing) I just don't like the bland tannish color of the material.

For a DIY solution, the Wally World tubing I used (from an exercise band thingamabob) was bright red. The full exercise tubing thing was $8 or $9 as I recall and yielded about 6 self-tensioners.Originally Posted by Coldspring

if you have a sports authority near you they have heavy duty replacement slingshot bands that are black. i just made some self tensioners last night with them and they seem great!
for one replacement band i paid 5 bucks and was able to make 4 tensioners.
Get shock cord at REI .15 per foot.
I have some of the green thera band tubing and almost 40' of the orange Sterling glo cord. I could whip some up if your interested. Cord is 2.75mm.
I have a set of 11'x10' JRB self-tensioning tarp lines if that is the style you want. 6 tensioned lines and 2 ridgelines.

Okay, I found some stretchy stuff.
Who has a spare 100 feet of Gossamer Gear EZ2c reflective line, or something 2mm or smaller?
