Bungees

[parrotcam]

Has anyone had to source the bungees used to close up the top? One of mine has broken.

Kurt, places like Wilco, Tractor Supply, and Coastal typically have bungee material on rolls. You can repair or make your own. Another source is Strapworks in Eugene. You can order from them.

Edit: I did not find bungee on the Strapworks site. Amazon, although not my favorite, does.

Strapworks, good source for cordage and fittings

Yes it is, but I just did a search for bungee cord, and it appears they do not carry that. Apologies!

This is what I got from Amazon worked great also new hooks.

Our local Ace hardware has bungee cord for sale by the foot.

It would seem that making your own is a no brainier as long as you can get the cord.
It's just cut the length same as the original and pull through the hook and knot each end.

I decided to order some. I figure after twenty years mine are either ready to go or at least don't have the stretch they used to.

I found the same hooks FWC uses on Amazon. I’m ordering those and a batch of extra cord to make others with. Thanks everyone for the ideas.

Nice area. We’d like to get out there again.

I no longer use the bungees, let the fan suck the sides in as the top comes down and it's good to go, no problem. Ron
