Premium Black Shock Cord 3mm Diameter – 1, 2, 5, 10 & 25 Metre Lengths (Bungee Cord) – Made in UK

Brilliant for fixing tent pole, fast delivery too!

I thought I would need to go to an out doorsy shop to find this, but here it is on Amazon and is exactly what we needed.Two of our garden chairs had decided to break at the same time.They are the reclining type, where durable weatherproof fabric is washed, either side to the solid metal frame, however the thick elastic cord the manufacturer used doesn't seem to be robust, or weatherproof, as it gave way on two chairs.The cord is strong with some elastic give, has a woven outer making seem much more durable, and the roll we ordered ( cannot remember what size we ordered and our purchase history doesn't say) was enough for the two chairs, and took only a few minutes to weave it through the grommets on the chair fabri, through the metal bars on the side, to match the ones that hadn't broken.Excellent stuff.We cannot say how durable it is yet, as we have only just used it, but the look and feel suggests it is really rather robust.I will update if we find this not to be the case, however so far, very happy with this product.

. A handy product to have in a drawer somewhere. Have just used it to add some peg loops to a tent and they work very well.

I'm using this chord to refurbish some high quality Sngupak Ionosphere tents. These are 2 part backpacking tents in which the "roof" is essentially a tarp staked down with bungee rope. The original shock cord ripped in a gale after I used some cheap Chinese tent pegs that had rough edges..Compared to the original Snugpak rope: The diameter of the venture zone rope is slightly thicker by less than a millimeter. The elasticity is very similar though it takes a little bit more force to stretch the Venture Zone rope The inner core uses 6 strands of synthetic material while the Snugpak uses 12 strands of elastic band material. I can with determined force break a 12 inch piece of the Snugpak by pulling on each end, but I could not break the Venture Zone rope using the same amount of force. The outer material seems very similar to the original Snugpak ropes and should be hard wearingThe rope cut cleanly with sharp scissors. It was easy seal the ends neatly with a lighter.Anyway, these tents are getting put up in Shetland so I'll soon know if this was a bad purchase...UPDATE: I just came back from a several months of backpacking around the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. This rope performed superbly well in gale force winds. The 12 inch pieces I cut have very little to no external damage. There isn't a single strand that needs replacing. Good product.

I bought this to use on the tie outs for my tent to take the strain off them. Melt the ends once cut to prevent fraying. It's stood up very well in gusts up to 50mph in the Scottish Highlands. I'd recommend it.

Oh good ask me with the service star exactly what I expected

The cord is ok but way shorter than 5m that was ordered, closer to 4.3m.

I like the fact you can choose what size you want
