Springs or bungee cords

I like the springs but be sure to oil them properly to keep the noise down.

In my opinion springs are the best option. The bungee cords are too elastic and do not provide the quick rebound I was looking for.

Springs. Not a bungee cord in sight. The springs have "S" hooks that connect them to the mat on one end, and the outer ring of the rebounder on the other.

i didnt use any, mine broke so if i buy a second set ill defiantly buy springs. but just so you know these are pretty stiff whips. they have little bend in them.

Nothing built-in, so I use a tight rubber bungee cord. My 5 year still climbs on it from time to time, but the bungee cords prevents the peddles from moving...

I bought it to replace the aging cord in my outdoor lounge chairs. It is very similar to bungee, acts the same way, may not stretch quite as much but would be great for a tarp tie down.

I take loose cordage with me and tent stakes and sting between trees and ground in whatever configuration is best for type of terrain or weather conditions. For more on this technique, you can YouTube "pitching tarps for camping" or "camping tarp configurations". And I'm sure you'll get some ideas

Hopefully, ideally, yes. but likely you'll still want some bungee cords to stop the slight shifting that comes with stop/go/curves. It helps when the straps start to loosen on a long day's drive. (Disclaimer - I'm guessing.)

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.

Mount them hard with rope or chain or cable. Bungee would work but would stretch a lot with some moderate winds. Its very tough material and well reenforced and you'll want to pull it tight so it doesn't sag too much in the middle.

I purchased 6" Ball Bungee Cord Canopy Tarp Tie Down Straps. They worked great.

You can cut the cord to any length. I pull the outer material past the end, then use a lighter to prevent fraying. The 3/8 is very thick for heavy applications. I tied a perfection loop knot and put brass swivel clips in the loops created by the perfection loop knot which is one of the few knots that hold bungee material. See: http://www.animatedknots.com/perfection/ The metal hooks you are looking for are typically made for smaller diameter bungee cords.

Oh no don't hurt your trees! They sell these straps that you can use to secure the hammock with no pain to the tree. They were crazy cheap like $15 and work great, you can get them from Amazon too.

The bungees look very very sturdy to me. I suppose after a few years of wear you may need to change them. You're worrying too much.

Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

From Amazon I bought SGT KNOTS DiamondGrip Shock (bungee) Cord and re-used the plastic ends from the originals. New cord works great - 2+ years and no breaks.

Not too hard to take off. As NC Teacher said, there are two hooks on top, and a bungee cord with hook on the bottom. I remember when I first put the bags on my rack, it took a lot of effort to stretch the bungee cord far enough for the bottom hook to reach. After leaving them on for about 5 months, I recently took them off to go mountain biking, and found that the bungee had stretched out a bit and was much easier to attach. In general I do lock my bike outside and leave the bags on, and they haven't been stolen or damaged by weather yet!

I used carabiners and bungee cords. I bought some camo bungee cords here on amazon. The bungees work out well because the give some flexibility in the wind. I started by planning out the connection at the house side, where I have 3 of them attached to a set of upright posts. At the end away from the house I was able to use posts attached to the fence, and spanned the gap with the bungees. But you have to plan it out or they won't hang right.

Can't answer whether or not they sell the hooks but the cord is fairly stiff so I wouldn't expect them to perform as a standard bungee cord. Not necessarily a bad thing, they are more rugged, jacket is much much better but they stretch about 1/2 the amount.
