LiteOutdoors Guyline & Tensioner Kit - 1.8mm Diameter - 60 or 100 feet - Ultralight Reflective Tent Cord, Lightweight Non-Slip Cord Adjusters. Camping, Hiking, Paracord

These are the perfect tensioners for guylines. Easy to apply and release.

I like these tensioners. I can secure these to my hammock tarp with a loop of shock cord and tension my tarp to the stakes. That loop of shockcord gives it a little flex in windy conditions and protects those tension points. It's super easy to use these, attach with shockcord to tarp, insert guyline into the tensioner and pull. It definitely makes deployment of the tarp a little faster.

I've tested these with several cord sizes from 1.18 to 2.0mm in Diameter and they hold really well!. Tested holding a tent fly down in 20MPH winds and saw little to no slip. They are simple and effective and the only small diameter cord tensioner I've found that actually works well!

Great product !!! Lightweight and easy to use. Size is good to use with diameters below 550 paracord (4mm). Durability has been good with my youngest son (now 10) on his tarp. He has easily figured out how to use these. I used them on a couple of backyard/garden tarps, due to Chicago being WINDY, and the guylines needing to be adjusted often. You can use a slippery half hitch (type of hitch, not a knot) or a double slippery half hitch, to ensure that it doesn't come loose from the winds.

I use these tents and beqch umbrella and now patio umbrella to help it out in wind. 1/8 orange bungee is the max diameter that will fit through the loop end and 5/32 or 4mm us the max that will fit through the trap end and that's what my green bungee is. I use removable deck anchors and it takes literally seconds to install move and adjust them. The trap holds bungee very well locked but you can't really get a lot of slack in the line or it will slip and this cand happen with those really thin guy line cords like the dyneema stuff which is also very slippery. By maxing out the diameter of the cord though you leave no room for the trap to open itself up on slack.

The center divider that the cord wraps around is very loose and there is nothing to hold it in place except a small ridge in the center of the plastic. I bought them for my tent guy lines and I'm worried one will pop out and get lost. Don't know how well they will do in the wind or rain. Guess I'll have to wait and see to find out.

These really impressed me! They seem to hold extremely well even with tiny 1.18mm microline! I’m using for guying a ham radio antenna mast but these have a million applications. Perfect for ultralight backpacking when paired with some 100lb microcord!

I liked the design for this, but if the line goes slack, it loses grip. Was hoping to use for a lawn inflatable decoration, but once it is turned off this loses its position. Good for a tarp or rainfly though.
