What length of bungees cords do i need?

The bungee cords come with the hooks. They work great and I'm very happy with them. I have a Nissan Altima and fit perfectly.

Since the cords stretch, the length is universal so it will probably fit most vehicles-cars, trucks & SUVs. Unless you have a very wide vehicle I don't think you need to worry.

Hi David,it comes with bungee cords that were long enough for my Ford Excusrion.

Depends on how wide your car or truck is. No matter, the shock cords supplied are large enough to fit most cars.

I use the ones that come with the kit. I have a Ford Focus ST. They work fine, even in windy conditions.

Personally, I use para cord and a single waking pole or a 3.5ft stick. There are some great ways to configure a tarp like this.. one that is nearly completely enclosed.

¼ to ⅜ inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

Michael: I don't know exactly but I would guess 1". I used Bungees to tie mine down with over my RV. Hope this helps. I can check again in the am for an exact measurement. It is a dark and snowy night in Vermont! Let me know if you want the exact in the am and I will comply. Regards..

Rothco is spec'd at a sustainable rate buy myself I would rely on 5/16" or 3/8" for repelling as the polyester cover is better suited for wear. since safety standards are typically 75% of rating you would only repel once and only in an emergency situation. Any failure would be at the knot point as the stress there would exceed the cord specification not in all likelyhood along the rope length.

These will work great for that ! These are the same ones I got for 1/4 bungee cord for my camper, and they hold great ! Should of got the tool to, but I used visegrips to clamp them. Hope this helps you.

Should be long enough. Was for mine. Only thing I would recommend is getting some shielding for the cord as it is like a lamp cord.

You need the 4 footer. The tie-down needs to be at least few inches longer than the distance from boat to trailer to allow you to attach the hooks and pull the strap tight. It doesn't hurt anything to have a longer strap than you need. I fold the extra strap and tuck it under the velcro. You could also cut the extra length and burn the end to prevent it from unraveling. Either way, its better to have more than not enough.

There are two hooks on each side that hold the bungee cord, so you do not have to knot the end of the cord. I usually do not knot the cord, as that way the cord is adjustable.

A 4" Diameter cable bundle would have a circumference of 12.56". These would just about reach. If you did come up short you could connect two of these together end to end for a longer reach.

They really don't give information about sizing, and it's a crap shoot as to whether they'll fit. Mine did, but only after tightening them up with bungee cords. Caveat Emptor.

It's a better idea to use a strong bungee cord or two to secure a bike to a car rack and to keep the front tire from bouncing around. There's an excellent set here, on AMAZON.COM that would be an excellent choice. Low price and Prime eligible, the ASIN # B009ONI2B8. If I weren't so happy with the cables I have, I would order this set with various lengths of extra strong bungee cords. Good luck.

I did not like the straps that came with the cart, so I use bungee cords and that works very well.

Not being very cautious, I used 3-100 foot 14 ga extensions, and knotted the cords where they joined to avoid pulling them apart. Have had no problems.
