How long do they stretch to? I want to put a tarp over a cage and use the bungee cords to hold the tarp in place.

it depends on how much strength you can pull, i guess it could go almost double it's size though I can't pull it much coz it's still new & tight so I'm attaching 2 straps if I needed to secure bulky stuffs like big boxes.

No I don't, but I use a lot of bungie cords, different sizes from 3/16, 3/8, & 7/16, and all of them are strong, never broke any! I'm assuming 1/2 inch would pull a car if you needed to? I'm sure it will meet your need. I used 3/8 & 7/16 to hold a tarp down on the top of a 10 X 20 building and they lasted over 6 months. Ken Hockin Alvin, Texas

I found them at home depot and soccer world. Mini bungee cords also work great.

I gave as a gift, thats why its taken me a few days to get to your question. I was told long enough to hook to your belt. Hope this helps, he loves them.

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!

They measure approx. 36" long relaxed. I can stretch mine approx. 38-39" if I really pull hard.

The 8" bungee cord length is actually 1" ball plus 7" bungee (the elastic part). The fully extended elastic part is 14". Therefore, the ratio of the relaxed to fully extended elastic part is 1/2. FYI - the force to full extend is 8 lbs. I did this test on a new, unused one of these cords.JRR

As long as you can install them close enough together. You may need longer bungees.

While I believe you could, I don't think they will last long enough for a permanent situation. The Velcro seems to lose its grip fairly quick, and it's not very strong to begin with. Probably best for keeping small cords bound.

These covers have bungee tighteners. These should be able to be pulled tight. It Might be a little "sloppy" but it's not about looks.

I just received mine and they are only 24 inches.... not enough to wrap around if you want to tie off in the front.

Not being very cautious, I used 3-100 foot 14 ga extensions, and knotted the cords where they joined to avoid pulling them apart. Have had no problems.

I've purchased Hampton Products-Keeper 06345 8" Bungee Cords with plastic toggle balls and they work great, but last time we tried 100 Pack 12" Nylon Cable Zip Ties Self Locking 5mm and they are amazing and weather proof! You can actually make the net tighter or direct the return but how many, how tight, or how close together you assemble the zip ties. Good Luck!

i did not have this problem. you can loosen the knot so it is bigger in size keeping the bungees in the loops.

I measured them at 36 inches but that's a stretch. I am pulling a Ranger Bass Boat and Trailer. After replacing my old cables with these cables I found the length to be just at the far end of how far I would want to stretch them at 32 inches. Any more than 32 inches and you won't have any excess. These are just a bit shorter then what came on my original trailer but seem to be an adequate replacement.

Yes, but they are so cheaply made, the hooks will come off the elastic when you try to use them. Never have I seen such poorly made bungee cords.
