How do you use one ratchet set to tighten 4-5 nylon ropes per pole? Are they gathered and tied to ratchet together? Thanks!

That's what I did, I gathered the top two and the bottom two and kept them spread out and hooked the top to one side of the ratchet and the bottom to the other and spread the strap as far as I could before tightening..

No no no!! The only things u hook to crank is top cable to 1 crank and bottom cable to another crank. The rope r only on there to pull and keep net from sliding back and forth on cables..... U will rip tear and ruin the net doing it ur way!

There is a steel cable at the bottom of net. We use the loop on that cable to raichet the cable until it is taut. We do that on both sides.

The sections have a green connector which unscrews to let you pull a section out and then tightens to hold it firmly as you work with the pole. You only need to pull out as many sections as you need.

Agree with below responses. It is difficult to work with. It does NOT tie like string as it advertises. I would use wire or other line meant to hold 100 lbs.

This pole has sections which telescope into each other. You just extend as many as you need. The sections have a green connector which unscrews easily to let you pull the section out and then tightens to hold it firmly as you work with it.

Sorry i didn't read the question right. They are ratcheting. But I'm surprised how well they work.

You can use real chain or velvet ropes. I strongly recommend you use sand in lieu of water in the bases. You can purchase hooks at any hardware store or home center for the chain or velvet ropes.

The poles come with a plastic bracket and two self tapping screws on each side also same for the rope and clips as long as you have a gunel more than two inches there shouldn't be a issue. For the price I am happy with the result.

You have to wrap them around a strong point of what you're strapping down by putting one end of strap through the opposite loop so it tightens. Then you use rachet straps from the loop to the vehicle. Basically these are used so you dont put metal hook from rachet strap directly to item.

I used four staples and elmers glue. Two staples were used to secure the rope in place at the beginning, note: the staples were covered by the first row of rope. I then put a little of elmers glue a few inches up and started wrapping the pole as you wrap the rope around the pole be sure tap it down to condense rope. By tapping down rope you get a very tight wrap. Once the glue was covered I added a little more another 3 to 4" up continue the process up the pole. I ended with two staples

My husband says: each box consists of two rods. these two rods use a single coupler to join them. if you buy a second box (of rods), you can use the coupler from the second set to attach a third rod to the first two rods. The fourth rod, there is nothing to attach it. Another option is to remove the end caps and align the rods so they meet. Sorry for the delay. I'm not a good checker of email. Christina

I agree with Ken S response. I would add you may not have to remove the links but just connect at the link that provide the tighten the chains as desired.

I'm glad to know it's not just me. I ordered a new pole with string and.. I guess the problem is the string. I've been using the same one now for a month. I guess I just didn't expect the string to wear down that quickly and still kind of don't understand what causes it to bunch up once it gets worn down. Little bit of a mystery to this mind. Thanks for responding.

probably another 2" line would work a 2" ratchet is bolted on one end. A 1" line would probably not work . If the line is too stretchy it might not work either.

I put heavy duty hooks into the fence to hold the oval rings when the line is extended, I think they came in the kit. The anchors are attached, but very difficult to use them and tighten the lines

What do you mean by "everything"? Not to sound like Pres. Clinton, but what do you expect, a tree to tie it up to? I comes with 3 sets of nylon rope about 6' each and that's more than I expected. Each corner has chromed metal fittings. I used my own rope as I needed more length. Mine's but up over our pool in 90+ heat for most of this year and looks good as new! Good product and good price...and reasonably fast shipping, also. Thanks for your question. Enjoy!

It is versatile and can be attached to a standard swingset. Each rope end has a metal, oval-shaped fastener. ( like this: http://www.teamsynergyinc.com/equipment/Images/carabiners-and-links/2401%20-%20.5%20inch%20Rapid%20Screw%20Link%20-%20Steel.jpg )

Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed? I bought 1" nylon webbing (1/2the price of slings) 2x 10 ft and used the hammocks included 550 for cordage. The webbing is super strong has a larger mass and less abrasive to the hammock. Thread in place of the 550 and when tearing down camp the webbing can be used for lashing and other as needed. Webbing I got is rated at 1k and is (with propper training) a very good self made rescue rappell harness or lanyard for gear in floating water crossings. Not bad multi use. Add two climbing rated carabiners and you have a system to hang hammock and many other uses. Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed?
