FAQs
Can these be used to secure items on a roof rack?
Yes, they are suitable for light items on a roof rack, but always use a secondary method or a net for high-speed highway travel.
Are the hooks plastic or metal?
The Ardisle Bungee Straps feature durable metal hooks for enhanced strength and reliability.
What should I do if the outer fabric frays?
If the protective outer sleeve frays significantly, the structural integrity of the inner core may be compromised; it is recommended to replace the cord for safety.
Are these cords waterproof?
They are designed to be weather-resistant and can handle rain and moisture, but you should dry them after exposure to maintain the lifespan of the elastic.
How do I choose the right length for my cargo?
Always choose a cord that allows for about 20-30% stretch. If the cord is too loose, the cargo will shift; if it is too tight, it will be difficult to attach.
Troubleshooting
Hook slipping off anchor point
Ensure the hook is fully seated around the anchor and, if possible, cross the straps to create a more stable tension pattern.
Cord tension feels weak
Verify that the item is not too heavy for the cord. If the item exceeds the recommended weight capacity, use multiple cords or a stronger tie-down method like a ratchet strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety and longevity, follow these guidelines:
- Inspection: Before every use, check the cord for fraying or exposed rubber core. If the outer sleeve is damaged, replace the cord.
- Anchor Points: Always attach hooks to secure, immovable points. Avoid hooking onto plastic trims that may crack under tension.
- Tensioning: Do not overstretch the cords beyond their effective limit, as this reduces elasticity and risks hook failure.
- Storage: After use, store cords in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the elasticity of the rubber over time.
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove grit or road salt that can accelerate sleeve wear.
