FAQs

What is the best way to cut this bungee cord?

Use a sharp utility knife or strong scissors for a clean cut. For synthetic cords, a hot knife can also seal the ends simultaneously, preventing fraying.

How much weight can this 10mm bungee cord hold?

While highly durable and strong, bungee cords are designed for elasticity and shock absorption, not static weight lifting. Specific weight ratings vary, but the 10mm cord is suitable for securing moderate to heavy loads where elastic tension is beneficial.

Can I use this cord for permanent installations?

This bungee cord is designed for securing applications rather than permanent structural fixing. Its elastic nature means it's best suited for temporary fastening where some movement or shock absorption is needed.

How should I store the remaining cord from the 100M reel?

Store the coiled cord in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Avoid storing it under tension or in a way that causes kinking.

Is this cord suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the cord is durable and designed for various applications, including outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays and extreme weather can eventually degrade the material. Proper storage when not in use will extend its lifespan.

What are the other available diameters?

Besides the 10mm blue variant, this SecureFix Direct Elastic Bungee Rope Shock Cord is also available in 6mm and 8mm diameters.

Troubleshooting

Cord appears to be losing elasticity.

Elasticity can degrade over time with heavy use or exposure to elements. Inspect for damage. If elasticity is the primary concern for your application, consider replacing the section of cord.

Cord is fraying at the ends.

Fraying often occurs after cutting. To prevent this, you can carefully melt the ends with a lighter (use caution) or secure them with tape or specialized end fittings. Re-cut and seal if necessary.

Cord snaps under tension.

Ensure the applied tension does not exceed the cord's rated strength. Verify the load being secured is appropriate for a 10mm bungee cord. Check for pre-existing damage or wear on the cord.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Length: Measure and cut the required length of bungee cord using sharp scissors or a knife.
  2. Secure Ends: For professional or high-tension applications, consider using end fittings (sold separately) or knotting techniques to prevent fraying and ensure a secure attachment.
  3. Attach: Use the cut cord to securely fasten your items, ensuring it is taut but not overstretched beyond its elastic limit.

Compatibility:

  • This bungee cord is compatible with most standard tie-down points, hooks, and anchoring systems.
  • It is suitable for use with various materials, including plastic, metal, and wood anchor points.
  • Ensure anchor points are sturdy enough to withstand the tension applied.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the cord with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the cord in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan. Keep it loosely coiled to prevent kinking or permanent deformation.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the cord for signs of wear, such as fraying, cuts, or loss of elasticity. Replace if significant damage is observed.
