    Illustration, Video - Rubber Band Tarp Line Tensioner

    I'm sure this one has been posted before, but it bears repeating. There are other threads on the forum that show how to make more durable, longer-lasting tarp line tensioners and I highly recommend them.

    Last night I was fiddling with a new tarp and I had some big rubber bands hanging around and thought I'd use them for tensioners. They work great!

    For the cheap DIY-er!
