Has anyone seen or tried Line-Lok guy rope tensioners?

I find that the 3 holed plastic jobies are sometimes a bit fiddly to feed the line through and need to be re-tensioned every day as they slacken off.

They do a bag of 50 for about £15 so I was considering giving them a try.

I havent tried them, but cant you just buy a few and see how they go before spending tooooo much just to see whether you do need to re-tension them everyday?!?!  Just a thought!

For the sake of a few quid I ordered some of the glow in the dark ones to try. Hopefully they'll be here by Easter and I can report back afterwards.

Sorry for not posting back.

Yes I tried the glow in the dark ones - they are very good giving a strong grip and really simple adjustment. I am really happy as they hold well in strong winds. My only comment is that the "glow in the dark" bit really isn't noticable.

They do make the guy lines wear quicker, but it's not been a major issue so far or us.

Thanks for that - think I'll buy some and try them. Could always dab them with some Glowtec Starglow Green

I have used them on my canvas frame tent and i was very impressed, they seemed to have a much better grip on the guy than traditonal runner types

SPM_A0006.jpg picture by mifty12he Made the mistake tho of swapping them onto a Cabanon Andorra which I subsequently didn't like and forgot to put them back on my old Rotonde, so you reminded me that I need to order some replacements.

 

Just.

Seems like a good idea to get some before we go to Cornwall in May....If it's going to be as windy as last Spring Bank Holiday then anything to help keep the tent standing will be money well spent. Probably need about a dozen for our  Norfolk Lake.
