FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of these cords?
The cords are approximately 10.2cm (4 inches) in length when unstretched.
Are these cords suitable for heavy-duty applications like securing a boat cover?
No, these cords are designed for light to medium-duty tasks. For heavy-duty applications, a more robust, non-elastic tie-down solution is recommended.
How many cords are included in a pack?
Each pack contains four (4) Dekton Tarp/Canopy Cords.
Can I use these cords in saltwater environments?
While the material is weather-resistant, prolonged submersion in saltwater is not recommended as it can accelerate material degradation. Rinse with fresh water if exposed.
What is the best way to store these cords for longevity?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the material.
Will the black color fade in the sun?
Like most outdoor materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause some fading over time. However, they are designed to withstand UV exposure better than standard elastic cords.
Troubleshooting
Cord does not stretch enough
Ensure you are not trying to secure items that are too large for the 4-inch length. For larger items, multiple cords may be needed, or a longer cord solution might be more appropriate.
Elasticity seems reduced
Exposure to prolonged UV rays or extreme temperatures can degrade elastic. Store cords in a cool, dark place when not in use. If elasticity is significantly compromised, replace the cord.
Cord broke during use
The cord may have been subjected to a load exceeding its capacity or been damaged by abrasion or sharp objects. Inspect the item being secured and the anchor point for potential causes. Replace the broken cord.

Cons
- Limited length (4 inches) makes them unsuitable for large items or wide spans.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dekton Tarp/Canopy Cords require no setup. Simply stretch one end around or through the item you wish to secure and hook the other end to a suitable anchor point. For optimal security, ensure the cord is stretched tautly.
Compatibility: These cords are compatible with a wide range of anchor points, including tent poles, eyelets, hooks, railings, and sturdy branches. They are best suited for light to medium-duty applications and are not intended for use with sharp edges that could cut the elastic material.
Care: To prolong the life of your cords, it is recommended to store them out of direct sunlight when not in use. Clean them by wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically check for signs of wear, such as fraying or loss of elasticity, and replace if compromised.
