Shock cord or separate stakes? I was planning on just shock cording them to the corner stakes. Any thoughts? Best size shock cord to use?
what i use is a loop of the small shock cord, sorry cant remember the size, and some zing it..what i do is i have the loop larksheaded to the tarp door and on the zing it i have a tarpdoor hook to hook onto the shockcord. then i have a prussic on the other end that way whichever way i go, to the corner stakes or their own i have no problems . I also use the prussic to tie them back with a simplecinch knot to the opposite tie out.. love using the prussics and the tarpdoor hook im still figuring out ..
I attached a shock cord with a cord lock to each door corner, with a small plastic s biner on the other end. Most of the time I keep the door on the same side fastened to each other inside the tarp, but all the cordage is there if I need to rig the doors for weather conditions. I can go to the opposite stakes, or around the tree.
Thank you much!Quote:
