I cannot get the sag out, I have utilized the tension rods, but its still sags. Ideas?

We had to use wiring to strengthen the ties into the ground. That worked for us. Hope that helps.

I use mine over a framework. I am sure there would always be a sag with this material.

The "square" shape is more difficult to keep flat than a triangular sail shade -- the square shape needs to be perfectly evenly tensioned in order to look flat as is shown in the picture of this product. Advice offered elsewhere recommends pulling two opposing corners very taut, then pulling the other two corners taut at a slightly downward angle. This results in a slightly arched appearance that can be quite attractive and holds its shape better. Google "shade sail square images" to see what I mean.

With the way it is designed, I don't believe you can get the sag out. The material will just stretch. I stretched mine across a pergola therefore giving it support and hence the disappointing review due to the inability to pull the edges straight and taught..

I have done different things. First suggestion is make sure your bike rack is as far back away from your seat as possible. The second is put a cardboard box or something in it to poof out the front and pull the sides in. And third is to simply move your foot up on the peddles. I have utilized all three to fix my problem.

Be sure your cables are routed properly then grab your cable and twist it until the pulley relaxes. Mine just started doing this after a year and this fixed it. You may have to repeat this from time to time especially if you change exercises a lot. Good luck.

Just twist it one way to loosen and the other to tighten. Maybe there is something wrong with it. Check with the manufacturer. Sorry I could not be more helpful

Be careful when you extend (open) the tent not to push the tab (lock) too far towards the bottom. It will click ever so lightly, The top will still sag a little. Sounds like you opened it too far. Check the tap lock on the front right leg.

Look closely - this is addressed in the instructions - has something to do with dismounting the hose reel and setting it on its' side and cycling it, as I remember it. Also, maybe you could try to pull out more hose and try again. Short hose pulls are under less tension.

I don't know of anyway to adjust the tension but I have had something similar happen with another stapler it was because I had it loaded with too long of staple so you might want to check that.

I ended up with mine about 1 inch higher. The amount of sag will depend on the preload setting you use, your weigh and your riding position. So you just see what works best for you.

I think you have to exend yours out to make it tighter. I made mine pretty taut. First, unscrew it so that it'sabout 4-6' wider than the space, then compress it so that it fits in snugly.

I had the same problem. My solution was my local Homedepot (or any hardware store) and purchased 1/4 thread rod and a union ( joins 2 threaded rods), cut it to fit and works great. Just take one of your end pieces with you and explain to an associate you dilemma and they will gladly set you up.

Had that same problem in the beginning. Just make sure the cable underneath is attached and you can adjusts the tension, just use your hands to make sure the cable is on wheel

Unscrew both the black knobs that attach the hydraulic cylinders to the rowing handles. Lower/raise to find the tension that works for you. I hope this helps!

I haven't used the lumbermaker that much but I noticed that I had to tighten the bracket that attaches to the bar very evenly between the two screws. Too much force from one screw would loosen the other and then when I tighten the loose screw the other one would loosen because the bracket was spreading. If this is what you are reffering to I can see where the bracket would eventually become "sprung way out". Other than trying to control how much I tighten the screws I dont know what to do about it. Have you talked to Haddon? Good luck. Tom L.

try "jiggling" the bottom metal piece while you're tightening it. also, hand-tightening is not enough...you should be using a wrench or ratchet

Get someone stronger to twist it. Use some of those jar gripper things. Keep saying bad words to it until it loosens up. ? ;)
