SGT KNOTS Marine Grade Bungee Cord - 100% Elastic Cord, Dacron Polyester Bungee Shock Cord for DIY, Tie Downs, Commercial Uses | 1/4" x 100 ft, Black

I am going back for my third 100 foot reel of this cord.The UV resistance has been excellent aboard my sailboat where I use the cord for retention of my flag halyard to the toe rail. This is my most UV exposed application and it has held up very well in weather 24/7/365. Even the color (red) has held up. Very pleased with that compared to other cord I have used.I highly recommend rolling your own bungees (second picture). There are any number of hooks available on Amazon in various configurations. You can deal with almost any bungee related use case if you make your own plus it is way cheaper and way more configurable to your specific needs.I had typically used 3/8" cord and was a little reluctant to go with 1/4" cord (Sgt knots is out of stock on 3/8) but I was very pleasantly surprised with the robustness of the 1/4 inch. No problem for my applications.For example, I decided to make an anchor snubber (first picture) a couple of weeks ago and had a bunch of the 1/4 inch bungee sitting in the garage with nothing to do. Normally a snubber would require two strands of 1/2 or 3/4 bungee to deal with a 7500 pound sailboat with chain rode. I decided to use a big loop of four strands of the 1/4 inch resulting in a combined 8 5 foot strands of bungee to provide about two feet of "spring". This worked perfectly at anchor in up to 20 Kts gusts of wind. So, for you sailors out there, this stuff is the bomb. Good UV performance and quite robust.I checked the stretch factor - there must be a technical name for this - and found the cord would stretch comfortably from four feet at rest to six feet at pretty full stretch. You can do the math to figure out what that means for your application and your cord length. As I mentioned, the "resistance to stretch" ls excellent based upon my experience with my snubber. Again, there is probably a technical term for this too.

I use a lot of shock cord for my business and this stuff is great! Maintains color and stretchiness, even with UV exposure and long term outdoor use. Definitely my preferred brand.

Works great

Ordered the wrong size at first which was on me but this stuff is NICE and I used the other one for a tie for a bungee toy. The second one I got was still a little too big for the cord lock... the wheel part doesn't go in and stay in but it's fine because the cord is thick enough that it holds just fine for what I need. Quality product shipped super fast.

Very happy with this bungee cord. We ordered the black 1/4" size and it is well made and fits the 1/4" clips and end pieces we have. Have pull-tested this cord after hot cutting it and securing the finishing ends, but it has not been put into fulltime use yet. Followed instructions for taping the cord off before hot-knife cutting it to length and this worked well for us. Highly recommend this product.

Easy to use! Restrung our two lounge chairs. Putting new life back into chairs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!!

Not my first or last SGT KNOTS product. I've never been even slightly disappointed with their quality and attention to detail. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to build their own bungee cords! I built 4 shorter bungees to go in my gear bag and 1 longer bungee to go over the top of my motorcycle tail bag. 1/4" is plenty... Trust the other reviews! It's strength is incredible and not "the standard".

This is great stuff, perfect for making a custom cargo net for a 4x4 roof rack. based on the description should hold up too weather very well!! Fast delivery
